Pull Transformation: How-To and 2 Case Studies

February 28, 2021 By Anurag Shrivastava

Pull Transformation is the only kind of change that actually works. Pull tailors a tiny but uncompromised end-to-end proof of concept capability – business, design, delivery and devops – then matures it into a “Steel Thread” and grows the capability at an exponential rate without ever pushing change into any existing teams and streams.

In this session the founder of the XSCALE Alliance will share the gory details of two highly successful Pull-transformations we strategized and coached over a five year period, 2009-2014. The first transformed a portfolio of 330 people at Australia’s largest insurer, Insurance Australia Group. The second transformed a whole corporate group of 50,000 people at Australia’s largest banking group, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

Both organizations have experienced many waves of agile and “Agile” since those days. The value they’ve received thereby varies depending on what you mean by value and when and who you ask about it. Still both organizations generally conform to what you may think of as Agile Manifesto values and principles where many (most?) Push transformations of similar scope leave nothing but an AINO bureaucracy – Agile In Name Only …

PRETEEN LAB Agile and Emotional Intelligence for children from 7 to 12

February 26, 2021 By Anurag Shrivastava

Based on quarantine fatigue we all experience due to Covid19 pandemic, and my passion for connection, mentorship, emotional intelligence and philosophy, the idea of creating online social club for pre-teens was born.

I want to address pre-teen needs for socialization in the distance learning environment and introduce them to big ideas of philosophy in order to open up their minds to the wisdom of the world through engaging conversations.

One important aspect of pre-teen education is learning acceptable human interaction, socialization styles, and cooperation mechanisms. The elements that are crucial for Agile mindset from the early ages.

During pre-teen years, children test their personalities and behaviors in various situations against the expectations and reactions of others. As others respond to their behavior and choices, pre-teens redefine and hone their actions and reactions enough to form behavior episodes that stabilize their personalities.

I want to show pre-teens how fulfilling communication could be! 
How much they can learn about who they are through being with others (building self-awareness) 
How important it is to resolve conflicts and cooperate.

This online program will provide opportunities to build social skills (wise and unwise responses), cultivate positive emotions, practice communication skills and develop active listening skills. All of this while learning about topics such as meaning of life, happiness, procrastination, goodness, resilience; reading stories of virtues and discussing ideas from Buddha, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and other great thinkers through engaging conversations.

The program is available worldwide to English-speaking audience.

Patterns Principles and Agile Connections

February 26, 2021 By Anurag Shrivastava

Many ideas about agile development have roots in the software patterns and design community. Several early patterns authors have also been influential in the development and discovery of Agile practices. Join us as we share stories about the history and co-evolution of patterns and agile. We will discuss how core principles specifically relating to quality underlie both patterns and Agile practices. We’ll touch on what’s happened since the early days. We will look at how patterns and agile are connected today and share some recently published agile-related patterns

Rebecca is an object design pioneer who invented the set of design practices known as Responsibility-Driven Design (RDD) and by accident started the x-Driven Design meme. Along the way, she authored two popular object design books that are still in print. In her work, Rebecca helps teams hone their design and architecture skills, manage and reduce technical debt, refactor their code, and address architecture risks. In addition to coaching and personal design mentoring, she teaches and conducts workshops on Responsibility-Driven Design, design heuristics, design thinking, decision-making, and being agile about system qualities. In her spare time she jogs (even in the rain). Rebecca is currently program director of the Agile Alliance’s Experience Report Initiative and co-chair of the experience report tracks for both the XP 2021 and Agile 2021 conferences. She also serves on The Hillside Group board. Recently she has written essays on heuristics and patterns, as well as patterns about magic backlogs, sustainable architecture, and agile QA.

Linda Rising is an independent consultant who lives near Nashville, Tennessee. Linda has a Ph.D. from Arizona State University in object-based design metrics. Her background includes university teaching as well as work in telecommunications, avionics, and tactical weapons systems. She is an internationally known presenter on topics related to agile development, patterns, retrospectives, the change process, and the connection between the latest neuroscience and software development. Linda is the author of numerous articles and five books. Her web site is: lindarising.org.

Joseph (Joe) Yoder (agilist, computer scientist, speaker, and pattern author) is the founder and principal of The Refactory (www.refactory.com), a company focused on software architecture, design, implementation, consulting, and mentoring on all facets of software development. Joe is best known as an author of the Big Ball of Mud pattern, illuminating fallacies in software architecture. Joe teaches and mentors developers on agile and lean practices, architecture, flexible systems, clean design, patterns, refactoring, and testing. Joe has presented many tutorials and talks, arranged workshops, given keynotes, and help organized leading international agile and technical conferences.

Ward Cunningham has worked for and consulted to daring startups and huge corporations. He has served as CTO, Director, Fellow, Principal Engineer and Inventor. He is best known for creating wiki. He leads an open-source project rebuilding wiki to solve more complex sharing situations addressing some of societies toughest problems. Ward founded movements in object-oriented, agile software, extreme programming and pattern languages. Ward lives in Portland, Oregon and works for New Relic, Inc.
