Please raise your hand if you ….
Have ever had a project come in over budget? Have ever had a project come in late?
14
Why do we still have projects that are over budget and late?
You are too smart and work too hard for these results! Do you agree? Companies have to change their culture to let people project manage
15
Let’s go back and define Agile
Agile is a time boxed, iterative approach to incrementally implement a project
16
When should you use Agile?
Answer these questions: Do you have complex products? Do you work in a changing environment? Do you have cross-functional teams? Do your teams collaborate?
17
Then Agile is for you.
18
Changing your project development approach will take a change in culture
Who likes change?

The only person that likes change is a ……….
Wet Baby!
21
Agile Evolved from software development
Breaks work into time boxed iterative deliveries of work Prioritizes work so that the most valued work is delivered first Continuous delivery
22

35
Agile Manifesto 1. Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. 2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage. 3. Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale. 4. Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
36
Agile Manifesto 5. Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done. 6. The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation. 7. Working software is the primary measure of progress. 8. Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
37
Agile Manifesto 9. Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility. 10. Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential. 11. The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams. 12. At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.

Differences from traditional project management
Traditional PM Agile PM Focus on processes and tools Focuses on team communication and interaction Anticipates limited changes and requires comprehensive documentation Places priority on developing products and/or solutions that will be progressively modified and improved Emphasizes the importance of contract negotiation and tasks delineated in the contract Emphasizes the importance of customer — project team collaboration and daily communication Works the plan; follows the plan to the end Features flexibility and response to change Minimize cost of workers for a task Treat workers as assets and not as costs

Agile Roles Scrum Master Product Owner Team
58
Agile Roles – Scrum Master
Scrum Master will facilitate the team Remover of the barriers (impediments) to the team’s work Servant Leader Encourages collaboration and open communication
59
Agile Roles – Product Owner

60
Agile Roles - Team Self organized Cross functional 5 – 9 ideal size
N (N-1) / 2 Inspects and adapts Critical thinkers
61
Agile Events Sprints Sprint Planning Daily scrum
62
Agile Events Sprints – Timeboxed to less than 30 days (2 weeks recommended) Sprint Planning – team works to identify what will be delivered in this sprint Daily scrum – 15 minute meeting What was done yesterday/last meeting? What will be done today/next meeting? What obstacles are in the way?
63
Agile Artifacts The Product Backlog The Sprint Backlog
64
Artifacts - The Product Backlog
List of all the work Defines the scope of the project Customer requirements
65
Artifacts - The Product Backlog
66
Artifacts - The Sprint Backlog
Prioritized partial list of the work from the Product Backlog Work to be done in next 30 days 2 week intervals are better
67
The Agile Process
68
Benefits of using Agile
90% of teams have increased productivity 85% of teams have reduced defects 83% of teams have accelerated time to market 66% of teams have reduced cost

Keys to Agile Success
70
Keys to Agile Success Scrum Masters as Servant Leaders
They are there to enable the team Good facilitation skills
71
Keys to Agile Success Product owners that know the product
Must understand the business Authority to make decisions on deliverables
72
Keys to Agile Success Teams that are self-directed
Not all team members are comfortable doing this They need to know how to self-regulate
73
Keys to Agile Success Report on benefits ROI Intangibles

Setting up an Agile Curriculum Design Team
Who do you need on a CD team? Program manager – 1 SME – 1 Curriculum Designer – 1 – 3 Media developer 1 - 3 Who else? Think cross functional
84
Problems with ADDIE Nothing gets delivered until the end
Stovepipe processes Rework becomes inherent
