Hands-On Lean Agile Project Management

Transcription

1 Hands-On Lean Agile Prject Management In this curse, students will gain a slid fundatin in the integratin f Lean and Six Sigma with Agile prject management cncepts. Thrugh hands-n exercises, yu will discver the tls needed t deliver the mst effective methd fr delivering custmer value and satisfactin t every prject. What Students Learn Evaluate the high-risk prject Execute Lean appraches t deliver high quality, high custmer satisfactin prjects Deliver high quality sftware with Agile prject management appraches Reduce r eliminate the seven wastes n yur prjects Find and eliminate the "Hidden Factry" n yur prjects Give management visibility int yur prject timeline, budget, and deliverables using a Lean-Agile mix f techniques Statistical tls that enable yu t manage yur prjects with data and fact Implement the five key business success factrs t Agile prject success Capture the vice f the custmer and cllect prject needs Cre imprvement fcuses fr a business (Cre Business and Operatins) Eliminate delay, defects, and variance in yur business prcess Perfrm accurate time and cst estimates Wh Needs t Attend Agile practitiners and prject managers f any experience level. Prerequisites There are n prerequisites fr this curse. Fllw-On Curses There are n fllw-ns fr this curse. 1

2 Curse Outline I. Lean 1. Lean and Implementatin Eliminate the seven 'speed bumps' that define nn-value added waste in yur prcesses: Over-prductin Excess Inventry Waiting Unnecessary mvement f wrk prducts Unnecessary mvement f emplyees Unnecessary r incrrect prcessing Defects Dcument yur value stream Analyze the elements fr their nn-value added effrt, delay, r re-wrk Redesign the flw 2. Lean Cncepts Directly Map t the Sftware Prcess 3. Implementing Lean Prcesses in Yur Organizatin Finding the 'Hidden Factry' Discver the csts f pr quality Use measurement t determine yur true thrughput yield II. Essential Lean-Six Sigma Tlkit 4. Six Sigma's Rle in Lean Lean addresses 5 f the seven wastes. Six Sigma prvides the tls t address the final tw: Unnecessary r incrrect prcessing Defects 2

3 5. Statistical Prcess Cntrl Tls Set up yur data in Excel and let the SPC sftware d the rest: X Bar R and X Bar S charts p, np, c and u charts Paret charts Balanced Screcard Ishikawa/Cause-and-Effect diagrams 6. Implementing the Key Imprvement Fcuses fr Yur Business Wrk n yur department Observe yur custmers, nt yur emplyees Examine yur prcess, nt yur emplyees Watch yur prduct, nt yur emplyees Utilize a prven imprvement system III. Agile Prject Management Prcesses 7. Agility Survey f current Agile practices Why Agility wrks 8. Scrum and Agile Prcesses Scrum as a prject management apprach Scrum scalability Rle f the ScrumMaster 9. Agility and Sftware Prcesses Address unknwn risks Be adaptable in vlatile business envirnments Prduct, prcess, and service develpment 3

4 Eliminate scpe creep Time estimates and Agile 10. Agile Estimatin and Planning Iteratin planning Release planning Estimatin basics Stries Features LOE sizing using stryppints Planning pker 11. Agile in Nn-Agile Envirnments Other departments are nt Agile Business partners that resist Agility Management issues with Agility Gvernment cntracts and addressing the fixed price vehicle IV. Fusin f Lean Six Sigma and Agile 12. Custmer Satisfactin Reduce variatin and imprve custmer satisfactin Immediate prfitability bst with defect reductin and increase in thrughput 13. Cntinuus Imprvement Metrics fr cntinuus imprvement Listening t yur custmer 4

5 14. Hlding the Gains Pragmatic use f Lean-Six and Sigma-Agile prcesses Hw Plan-D-Check-Act maps t the empirical Agile 'sprint' Hw Pka-Yke (mistake-prfing) imprves the sftware develpment prcess Design fr ne-piece flw Exercises: Exercise 1: Examine a sftware prcess in a real case study and analyze the effects f the '7 Wastes' n the sftware implementatin Find the nnvalue added activities (NVA) and identify remediatin t the issues Exercise 2: Discver the prbability that the prcess will flw end-tend defect free and calculate the cst f pr quality Exercise 3: Identify key imprvement areas, measure ttal defects, find defects per unit, measure prcess capability, assess trends in yur prcesses, and discver rt causes Exercise 4: Determine key imprvement prcesses fr yur rganizatin Exercise 5: Cmpare a traditinal waterfall prject t an Agile implementatin Agility can help the prject achieve higher custmer satisfactin, higher quality levels, and increased verall prfitability Run simulated sprint cycles side-by-side with a standard waterfall apprach and cmpare the results 5

6 Exercise 6: Perfrm an actual Agile estimating prcess Use planning pker t create the initial estimates Exercise 7: Identify areas where Agile ideas and cncepts can be successfully applied in traditinal prject envirnments Exercise 8: Apply Lean and Six-Sigma tls in an Agile prject case study Evaluate the prject frm a Lean perspective Uncver areas f waste Identify where mistake-prfing and defect reductin will imprve the entire sftware prcess 6
