A simple
pattern…influenced by
many things1)Create a near term goals
2)Gather behavior stories
3)Derive meaningful behavior changes
4)Generate experiments
5)Inspect and adapt at short intervals

the [z TEAM] stop [BEHAVIOR] [IMPACT]
• The [technology organization] [needs to stop writing crap code] [so the product team doesn't have to manually test for a month]
• The [business/product team] [need to figure out what they want so they can stop changing their minds at the last minute and [pushing out the delivery]
• The managers should stop poking their nose into what we are doing at the last minute so we can get stuff done
• The technology organization needs to stop padding their estimates so we can understand what is really going on

Generate experiments
• [Create a workshop to review all manual regression and create an
“eliminate/automate” list [HIGH IMPACT, YES]
• off site to create a Product backlog (Low effort /High impact) [HIGH/YES]
• [Automate all regression tests][HIGH/NO]
• [Replace requirements documentation with User Stories/SBE] [HIGH/YES]
[Experiment][ impact high | medium | low][doable in a month or less y | n]

• True agile adoptions are about changing culture. There is nothing harder.
• You are giving true transparency where there once was magic.
• You are giving developers greater accountability where they were once told what to do
• Ignore at your own peril• Cypher vs Mr Smith vs Mr Anderson
Lesson 1 You are changing culture not process

Lesson 2 Eat your own dog food
Agile
1. Create a team2. Create a backlog of the
organization3. Pick the right slice4. Ready for sprint. The red
pill test5. Define the problem you
are trying to solve.6. Pick the right
methodology for the problem
7. Create a definition of done. (e.g. 3 successful sprints releasing valuable high quality code)
8. Create success early. This creates pull.

• Doing Scrum/Kanban are not wins. Shipping software is. Don’t declare success too early
• Billy Bean introduced a new way of selecting players and was shunned by the baseball establishment
• 20 game win streak despite having one of the lowest pay rolls in the industry
• Changed the way baseball is played
Lesson 3 Get *real* wins early
