Waterfall, agile, or both?

We know that each methodology comes with its own benefits and challenges and that a linear, waterfall approach doesn’t always work in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving environment.

But how do we combine the two approaches to fit our real-world projects?

In this webinar, you’ll see what a hybrid approach can do for your projects, along with when and how to implement them.

Keith will take you through three scenarios to demonstrate using a hybrid approach in the real world.

Topics include:

• An overview of what a hybrid approach is
• Selecting waterfall or agile roles, practices, and techniques
• How a hybrid approach is used in real scenarios

From previous debates, as a community, we recognise that the volume of change organisations are commissioning cannot be managed solely by dedicated change managers. The only way to achieve change at scale/enterprise level change is to mobilise everyone to participate.

This impacts the priorities of the change management profession:

1. Training – giving answers to the practical problems that managers and staff experience in developing, practising and adopting new ways of working. They do not have the time nor the interest in learning the theories and models of change. If deeper knowledge is needed, they can call on us, the change management profession for help.
2. Coaching – we need to partner with those impacted by change, demonstrate our empathy for the pressure they are under to split themselves between business as usual and making change happen. We need to be a trusted expert who they can bounce ideas off and grow their confidence in making change happen.
3. Capability for change – creating the responsibility and ownership for change in those impacted by the change, as they are closest to the operational practicalities of the change, and need to play their part in shaping the scope and delivering the new ways of working.

Join our panel discussion which will debate these priorities, add to them, and identify ideas for how we might achieve them.

Our panel is comprised of those taking part in this debate in the LinkedIn group (https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8975946/), who are experiencing the issues raised above and are at the forefront in their organisations of addressing these issues.

Since the term, agile, grew popularity in the second decade of the 21st century, Risk Management was one of the strong selling points of various agile frameworks.

According to agile surveys, reducing risk is one of the main reasons for agile adoption.

However, none of the agile frameworks provide guidance on Risk Management. Most of them are limited to a simplistic view that by delivering in small increments risk is limited to the value of a single sprint.

The reality is far more complex, and it is not limited to coding or technical skills. A project is dependent on context, on organizational culture, and last but not least, on people’s desire to work as a team and succeed.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) gives a brief introduction to how important Risk Management is, how it can be done in agile, and why risk, especially in Agile, should not have a negative connotation.

Real-life examples will be used to illustrate how the Project Manager, Scrum Master, and the whole project team can take advantage of Risk.

Agility is supported by methodologies, processes and techniques but true organisational agility can only be achieved if it is supported by leadership behaviours that normalise, value and encourage the application of agile approaches.

Melanie will explain and provide examples of these leadership behaviours, discuss why they are so challenging to adopt for many in senior positions and how you can help encourage their adoption.

We know that agility is not a methodology or set of processes or techniques. Agility is the behaviours and attitudes that enable the ability to move quickly and easily.

They are supported by new ways of working, but these new approaches only work if the environment encourages and rewards there use.

Leaders are principal players in creating this environment. Leaders are not restricted to those with hierarchical power within their organisations. A leader is someone who others willingly follow.

To be an effective agile leader, there are seven behaviours that support each other, and taken together enable agile processes and techniques to flourish.

These behaviours are:

1. Imagining the future state
2. Flexing your vision
3. Identifying small steps
4. Living with uncertainty
5. Decision making
6. Seeking the input of others
7. Relinquishing control

If you are in any form of leadership position, this webinar will give you the chance to benchmark your own behaviour against agile excellence and to identify areas for improvement.

If you are a project/programme manager, PMO or Product Owner, this will give you lots of ideas of what discuss with your Sponsor.

To support your “managing upwards” objectives, I will provide you with examples of what actions to ask your senior leaders to focus on and why these are essential to an effective agile culture.
