„UNDOUBTEDLY, IT IS MUCH EASIER TO MAKE A LARGE CHANGE IN A SMALL ORGANIZATION, THAN A SMALL CHANGE IN THE LARGE ONE”
• Always start with ”Why”
• There is always a lot of ”Hows” – all you need is just one ”Why”
5 STEPS CLOSER TO BEING AGILE
Determine ’WHY?’
- ”WHY?”- ”I WANT TO HAVE VALUE
DELIVERED FASTER”- ”FASTER?”- ”AT LEAST EVERY MONTH!”- …
”I WANT TO BE AGILE”

REINFORCING LOOP EXPERIMENT
Discover impediments
Find root-causes
5 STEPS CLOSER TO BEING AGILE
Determine ’WHY?’
Value is delivered slowly
Project, not Product oriented environment
Craftsmanship
Ownership
Value is delivered slowly
Not investing in (no time for):- increasing quality- paying technical debt- building development tools
Project, not Product oriented environment
Aim to develop entire „scope”, not the most
valuable features
Decision making process is long
PB managed by a commitee (no single responsible person)
Too many roles with unclear responsibility and authority
Lack of a „real” Product Owner who:- takes care of the Product Backlog- prioritizes- looks for value- decides & is resposible for Product
Noone is working on maximization of the
product value and ROI
Development time is long
Current Owners („Business”) does not see themselves as the owners of the Product
- they are its users
Craftsmanship
Ownership
Discover impediments
Find root-causes
Choose possible ’HOW?’
5 STEPS CLOSER TO BEING AGILE
Determine ’WHY?’
Lack of product ownership:- No single decision-maker- no responsibility for a product value- noone works with a business stakeholders

SUMMARY / TAKEAWAYS
Celebrate, retrospect & iterate !
Find impediments and dependencies
Discover „Hows” – root-causes, reinforcing loops
Start with ”Why?”
