Masterclass | The resurgence of use cases in business modeling and agile development

It’s a power play: Programmers tell their business people they will only read user stories, so the business people have no choice but to get busy chopping large, complex systems into hundreds of tiny post-it notes or lines in Jira. But where is the business itself represented?

Finally, some business people are pushing back: “Our business is held in use cases” We can slice those for you in story maps and user stories as needed.” But how are we to slice those use cases into slices that fit the agile micro-incremental delivery style?

That’s what this way-too-short workshop is for. To get to the answer, we need to pass through (1) How to write a use case (in the shortest, most readable way), and then, (2) how to pick out the early slices to develop. The later slices are easy, as you will see. Finally, (3) how to put the slices onto a story map and revisit the use cases to find the holes in the story map.

Given that the full course is takes two days, this can only be a taste test. Dr. Cockburn, master of both use cases and agile development, will show the basics of the techniques with some tiny practice problems, so that you can go home and practice them on your own. At the end of this workshop you will a certificate of completion from the Heart of Agile Academy for the half-day “Modern Use Cases” course.

Masterclass | Decisions as inventory and Elephant Carpaccio

In the Heart of Agile we learn that what we deliver into the world are decisions. It takes time to practice that concept in our ordinary lives.

In this workshop, you will practice detecting how you make decisions and how to prioritize them for market feedback. The ultimate exercise is the infamous “Elephant Carpaccio” activity, in which we will use spreadsheets to execute in detail a simple project with five 8-minute sprints (no kidding!). The exercise is to develop a small and simple spreadsheet or program to calculate prices for a product. There is nothing particularly hard about this assignment, it is an ordinary business problem cast into an ordinary spreadsheet. That is not the thrust of the exercise.

The thrust of the exercise is how to slice that little problem into 15-20 growth stages, which reduce risk, deliver value, produce income, provide market learning points, and allow pivoting the business all with the smallest energy. This is the most effective exercise I know to convince people to deliver in small steps and look for feedback and pivot moments.

At the end of this workshop you will a certificate of completion from the Heart of Agile Academy for the half-day “Deliver” course.

This is a rare opportunity to learn from the very best! Bob and Stacia, along with their colleagues unknowingly started a journey that began 20 years ago at Primavera Systems in Philadelphia. It was one of the earliest large-scale adoptions of Scrum in a company that was not only using traditional methods but creating software to manage it…think Gannt Charts!! However, things were a real mess for the organization. Poor quality, constant overtime, everyone angry with them was the norm. Bringing Scrum and XP in was a last-ditch effort to turn things around. It was not popular, not proven, not to be taken seriously. This was, as Ken Schwaber said, “…one of the smartest things you’ve ever done, or the dumbest. Only time will tell…”. This journey took them on separate paths to teach and coach others on the true meaning of Scrum and the practical, pragmatic approach to making it stick for the long term. They have collectively taught tens of thousands of people and countless organizations. This is the first time they are bringing this vast experience together. You won’t find two people with more direct experience than them.

As more companies adopt agile methods, the role of the Product Owner becomes ever critical in the rapid development of products.

Agile changes this in that the Product Owner directly and continuously works with the development team members throughout the course of the product in its lifecycle, as well as manages the stakeholder community of users, customers, and other departments within the organization. Whereas a traditional project manager would make decisions about scope, time and cost of a project, Product Owners now own these decisions real-time in order to appropriately place and pivot their products within their respective contexts.

This course clarifies the Product Owner to Scrum as well as helps them understand their role and responsibilities in helping the team deliver high-quality software that meets users’ needs. We will explore the product lifecycle, design thinking techniques, prioritization frameworks, and story-writing, as well as critical feedback loops and how they enable better product decisions. You will work collaboratively to learn, explore, and practice proven techniques to make you an effective Product Owner.  This course results in the Certified Scrum Product Owner™ (CSPO) Certification from the Scrum Alliance.

Primarily in financial organizations he has worked with all aspects of software development. And last but not least, Jens is the brain behind this conference. Heart of Scrum.

Masterclass | Certified ScrumMaster with Jens Østergaard

Date: August 10 & 11, 2023 | Time: 9 am to 5 pm

The more an organization understands Scrum, the better the implementation will be. This course will focus on the ScrumMaster, the Product Owner, and the Development Team in a software development organization. However, the course is useful to everyone in a company using Scrum.

A Certified ScrumMaster understands Scrum values, practices, and applications and provides a level of knowledge and expertise above and beyond that of typical project managers. CSMs also protect the team from both internal and external distractions.

This two day hands-on training will teach you the essentials of working as a Scrum Master or Scrum team member in this course and includes a two-year membership of Scrum Alliance

What others say about Mobius Outcome Delivery

“Mobius was the 1st real post-agile framework I saw, already in 2013 – It assumes full agile teamwork as a natural way of working, and builds from there how your initiative should operate. It embodied the Heart of Agile imperatives already, before the Heart of Agile was codified. Reflective improvement, delivering outcomes that matter.”

— Dr. Alistair Cockburn, Co-author of the Agile Manifesto, creator of the Heart of Agile.

Mobius is the most effective way to help people learn Scrum. It takes Discover, Decide, Deliver and embeds John Boyd’s OODA loop in the way they think about Agile and helps double or triple their productivity in a few Sprints.

Jeff Sutherland, inventor and co-creator of Scrum

A great interactive session which demonstrates practical methods that deliver the outcomes you want fast!

This course will give you inspiring real world examples of how Spotify grew a dynamic learning organisation that continually reinforces a high-trust culture and supports highly engaged and empowered product teams.

The ”Spotify Model” of agile at scale has had a huge amount of attention in the agile community since it was first shared widely in 2012. Though never originally intended as a framework or model, the case study of Spotify’s approach to agile working has become a hit with a large number of organisations who have opted to imitate the method.

This course will help leaders and teams to understand how and why it was optimized, the challenges that come with the method, and how companies can adapt and continue to evolve while employing this strategy of agile at scale. You will gain a deep and wide knowledge of how Spotify works under the hood, which will enable you to see more options for improving organisational design with regards to your context and boundaries.

You will learn why Spotify made the decisions they made, other options which were considered, and which changes were intentional and which were emergent. This hands-on workshop will explore underlying principles and go into specific practices and mechanisms. You will learn how to combine small, autonomous teams with strategic business alignment, how to work with leadership and growing leaders, innovation and the values and beliefs which shape the culture which created ”The Spotify Model”

Joakim Sundén, the teacher of the course, has long experience from working at Spotify and was directly involved in developing several of the key concepts of “the Spotify Model”.

Example topics covered in the course:

  • The history of the ”Spotify Model”
  • How to build great autonomous teams (a.k.a. Squad or Empowered Product Teams)
  • Organisational structures to support the squads (Chapters, Tribes and Guilds)
  • How the Spotify Rhythm strategic framework and Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) can be used to create alignment instead of control
  • Servant Leadership in practice – developing and supporting empowered people and teams
  • The culture, principles and core beliefs that are fundamental to succeed with this model
  • Think It, Build It, Ship It, Tweak It – The Spotify Product Development Framework for Discovery and Delivery
  • What radical transparency and communication looks like and strategies to share knowledge and ideas in a network organization
  • Challenges, failed experiments, and lessons learned

Goals

The goal of this course is to provide tangible examples of how to create a great place to work that enables agile at scale. Participants will leave inspired with ideas on how to redesign their organization to better engage employees and leverage the power of empowered autonomous teams.

This course is for…

  • Progressive leaders, and managers
  • Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, Product Managers, Project Managers and Agile Practitioners
  • Organisational change agents, consultants, and HR

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge in Agile principles and practices, e.g., experience with Scrum, will help you better understand some of the content.

Welcome to Agile Growth™! In this workshop, we will guide you on how to transform your company to build highly effective agile teams from embracing agile value to learning the Agile Growth™ methodology that promotes continuous improvement, collaboration, and adaptability in career development.

Agile Growth™ involves breaking down career paths into smaller, achievable milestones. These milestones are designed to help employees gain knowledge and responsibilities in a way that is valuable for both them and their organization and at the same time structuring those career paths so individuals obtain cross-functional knowledge.

By adopting Agile Growth™, you solve the issue caused by removing job titles and hierarchy that are at the Heart of Scrum. This approach allows for clearly defined goals that are aligned with the company’s vision, helping both employees and employers to work towards a shared sense of purpose.

Join us in taking your teams to the next level with agile values and career paths that inspire growth!

What others say about Mobius Outcome Delivery

“Mobius was the 1st real post-agile framework I saw, already in 2013 – It assumes full agile teamwork as a natural way of working, and builds from there how your initiative should operate. It embodied the Heart of Agile imperatives already, before the Heart of Agile was codified. Reflective improvement, delivering outcomes that matter.”

— Dr. Alistair Cockburn, Co-author of the Agile Manifesto, creator of the Heart of Agile.

Mobius is the most effective way to help people learn Scrum. It takes Discover, Decide, Deliver and embeds John Boyd’s OODA loop in the way they think about Agile and helps double or triple their productivity in a few Sprints.

Jeff Sutherland, inventor and co-creator of Scrum

A great interactive session which demonstrates practical methods that deliver the outcomes you want fast!
Krishna Panicker, VP Product @ Airbase

Mobius Outcome Delivery is the one-stop-shop for design thinking, lean startup, business modeling and Agile. It connects all the dots to create awesome experiences and the outcomes that matter.
Jamie O’Shaunessey, Skype Snr Product Manager

Mobius Outcome Delivery helped me understand that defining the true outcomes for a product is the only way to make considered decisions and determine success.

Claire Boissiere, Production Manager, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe
