Uncover & Slice the Elephant and Motivate Agile Teams

By

Motivation is often cited as the issue #1 when it comes to failing projects and similarly often taken as a given in agile projects. What can you do if you feel that your team isn’t entirely motivated?

I’m Barbara Dravec and here’s my journey with an agile project team that very early on pointed out that they fear “some project team members” lack the motivation and drive to complete the project.
Motivation is a multilayer concept. Since Daniel Pink’s fantastic compilation “Drive” that lays out the vast field of motivational research and related topics it’s possible to navigate the topic for a non-psychologist agile coach like myself. I’ll provide some helpful tips and tricks, methods and concepts how you could go about dealing, improving and solving motivational issues with agile teams.

FOCUS in the Rabobank Boardroom

By

Marjolijn Feringa & Jeroen Venneman will explore the need for FOCUS Board. In this fast-changing world organizations need to adapt quickly. And it is not only the shop floor that needs to adjust. The boardroom and executives need to speed up as well. The whole organization is on the road toward a responsive organization. But how do you do this at executive level? At the Dutch Rabobank this transformation is also taking place. A transformation for all people in the organization with a shift from management leadership to personal leadership. An exemplary role and a good design to connect strategy with operation is needed to Foster an agile culture through People, Leadership and Business. In 2018 Marjolijn en Jeroen introduced the FOCUS board in the Boardroom of the Rabobank. Now more than two years later there is a lot of experience with the FOCUS board on different levels in and outside the Rabobank.

This session will give you insight in the power of a FOCUS board, why to use it, how to use it, and what it is. It will also provide you the lessons learned and the improvements we have made.

AGILITY BOOSTER: A TOOL to SHOW YOU WHERE and HOW to START

By

Agile transformations usually start by running agile teams in IT departments. And this ‘copy-paste concept’ makes it impossible to define and focus on the leverage projects leading to real Business Agility for that organization.

Every company is unique!

In order to leverage the hidden potential fastly and in the most effective way; we need to lead this change in a holistic way; taking into consideration the Strategy, Structure and Culture of that organization.

In this meeting we will help you to find:

Holistic business perspective to analyse ‘As Is’ & prepare ‘To Be’
Articulation of purpose and the level of strategy alignment
Unique strengths and perceived challenging barriers
Drivers to be more customer centric
Customized roadmap to close the alignment gap
‘Real’ motivation factors to create the commitment

Why Agile Development of Large-Scale Products Is So Hard (& What To Do About It) by Kevin Thompson

By

Why Agile Development of Large-Scale Products Is So Hard Agile20Reflect Festival

While hardware development and software development are not the same, they face similar issues with respect to unclear product definition, scope creep, unpredictability, and the impact of disruptive events on design and schedule. The Agile approaches to planning and managing software development have proven effective in addressing these issues, and are now known to provide similar benefits for development of hardware and integrated hardware-software products as well.

This presentation will provide an overview of how large-scale integrated product development can be structured and performed. We will discuss team-definition concepts, the use of Scrum as a team-level process for hardware and software development, and the Agile Program Management concepts that weave the teams into an effective whole.
