From a longer talk by Al Shalloway on Agile Architecture. ![]() Successful Pilots Can Hurt An Agile Organization Sometimes, successful Agile/Scrum pilots can do more harm than good. They can hurt the organization by siphoning off valuable resources and causing resistance. Successful transitions require you to treat each pilot as an opportunity to learn WHY the pilot succeeded, the factors involved, and whether it would work elsewhere. ![]() Why Seeing the Value Stream Is So Important As an organization looking to become agile, it is critical to see the whole value stream. Al Shalloway discusses the difference of organization structure and the value stream, the challenges when value is delayed, and the need for a higher view to scale to the enterprise. ![]() Successful Pilots can Hurt an Agile Organization Sometimes, successful Agile/Scrum pilots can do more harm than good.

Whether B2C or B2B, web-business applications are increasingly complex and significant investments with ever-greater payoffs if done well and in-time to take advantage of market opportunities. It has never been more important to examine methods for web-business application development that foster;
•innovation for market differentiation
•responsiveness for timeliness and change-tolerance
•discipline for quality and reproducibility.
Our keynote address discusses these essential characteristics for web-business application development methodology. It explores the differences in culture between the creative marketing and the detail-oriented technology worlds. It contends that those differences are not as great as is often perceived and that cohesion is possible and necessary. ![]() Alan C Session 2 pt 3 ![]() Alan C Session 2 pt 2 ![]() Al C Session 2 pt 1 ![]() Business Agility & software development Pt 5 - Alan Chedalawada- Valtech Agile Edge Oct 09 Business Agility & Software Development lost in translation?

Many people intuit that Agile in the enterprise is different than agile in small teams. But, we are not particularly clear just how it is different? It is more than just larger, distributed teams. First, we discuss a model of the issues that make Enterprise Agility different from Just Agile. Then, we focus in on what is emerging as primary axes for scaling agile:Backlog Management and Risk Management. We explore several ways in which these topics are central to the development of a body of practices for Enterprise Agility. ![]() Adapting Agile to the enterprise pt 3- Al Goerner - Valtech Agile Edge Oct 09 For a copy of the presentation http://www.slideshare.net/stephenellliott/adapting-agile-to-the-enterprise-al-goerner

Creating Lean companies is difficult and takes a great investment.
But can Lean be useful even if a company isnt committed to being
a Lean company? This talk discusses how Lean can be thought
of as a combination of Lean-Science, Lean-Management and
Lean-Knowledge-Stewardship.
These are both independent of both manufacturing in general and
Toyota in particular. Alan discusses how these three bodies of
knowledge build on each other. They also give insights into how to
transition to Lean, or as far to Lean as one wants to go. ![]() Adapting Agile to the enterprise pt 8 Al Goerner Valtech Agile Edge Oct 09 Many people intuit that Agile in the enterprise is different than agile in small teams.
