7 Lessons for Attendees How to apply the values of the Agile Manifesto and the Declaration of Interdependence to Process Improvement projects How to create opportunities for innovation through experimentation by using an agile approach to process improvement How an agile approach to process improvement can maximize continuous delivery of value to the organization How to measure that improvement How to choose the right opportunities for the agile approach 6
8 The Philosophies Manifesto for Agile Software Development (2001) We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more. Declaration of Interdependence (2005) We are a community of project leaders that are highly successful at delivering results. To achieve these results: We increase return on investment by making continuous flow of value our focus. We deliver reliable results by engaging customers in frequent interactions and shared ownership. We expect uncertainty and manage for it through iterations, anticipation and adaptation. We unleash creativity and innovation by recognizing that individuals are the ultimate source of value and creating an environment where they can make a difference. We boost performance through group accountability for results and shared responsibility for team effectiveness. We improve effectiveness and reliability through situationally specific strategies, processes and practices. 7
9 Context Agile Process Improvement an Oxymoron? Increasing experience suggests it is necessary and practical (if not pure) to blend these sets of values, principles and activities Necessary because internal and external business and government customers want agility with discipline and accountability Practical because both Agile and the DOI require process and discipline to be effective Pure is in the eye of the beholder Most Software Process Improvement (SPI) projects are implemented using a waterfall approach How then do we implement SPI projects in an agile software development environment? 8
10 Agile Process Improvement An Oxymoron? The first value statement in the Agile Manifesto leaps off the page at most process oriented individuals and organizations, We value individuals and interactions over processes and tools Many SPI practitioners stop reading the Agile Manifesto right there! The answer to the apparent contradiction is that individuals and interactions ARE more important than processes and tools in ANY process improvement project because process improvement is primarily about changing peoples behavior 9

13 Continuous Value Delivery The Customer for most SPI projects is usually the senior manager, who is paying for it (or seeking to spend the SPI budget on something else!) An agile like approach to SPI projects ensures that the senior management will see value being delivered every sprint If not, they will be right to hold the SPI team accountable and/or change priorities for the next sprint 12
14 Agile Process Improvement What does an Agile SPI project look like? An agile SPI project based on the Scrum methodology might have a 4 week sprint cycle The prioritized goals of the SPI project will form the Product Backlog from which candidate activities will be drawn for each SPI project sprint In a client using Scrum for development, it is extremely important to synchronize the SPI sprint cycle with the project sprint cycle It is likely that the SPI project will require input from development project sprint team members, whose availability and ability to plan will be based entirely on their commitments to the current development sprint Also, in pilot and roll out phase of the projects, it is virtually impossible to introduce a new process in the middle of a development project sprint New processes must be introduced into the sprint planning meeting 13
15 Agile Process Improvement Planning an Agile SPI project The SPI Project Sprints should be organized as follows: Develop, Pilot, Refine, Roll out This approach requires a minimum of four sprints, but in the two organizations where this approach to SPI projects has been implemented, it has proven to be useful to take a flexible approach so that a complex process or one requiring a lot of new process definition might have 2 or 3 Develop sprints before the pilot sprint The rigor of the agile approach must be observed for each sprint, and real value must still be delivered at the end of each Develop sprint 14
16 15 Agile Process Improvement How does an Agile SPI project really work? One of our clients benefited hugely from this when developing and piloting their Configuration Management processes Errors in delivered software builds had caused numerous embarrassments in front of customers despite a high level of customer satisfaction in the software reviewed The company had developed a culture of fire fighting teams to deal with this problem; Process Improvement was difficult because nobody had confidence enough to change the engine of the car while it was speeding along the road to the next urgent deliverable Taking a sprint approach, which piloted CM process changes, large and small, in manageable chunks on a monthly basis has turned this around in four months
17 Innovation through Experimentation Implementing an SPI project in an agile development organization is highly advantageous because, to a large degree, each sprint is an almost complete instance of the development organizations SDLC Hence, pilot opportunities for new processes on new projects occur once per sprint cycle This enables all parts of a process to be tested more quickly and facilitates multiple pilots in parallel or sequentially to refine processes Just as it may be necessary or useful to have multiple Develop sprints for process definition, it can be useful to use multiple instances of the pilot and refine sprint pair either to evolve a weak process definition, to build and test tailoring schemes, or to ensure correctness and acceptance across a widely diversified development group; this is true whether the target software development methodology is agile or not 16
18 Lessons from Agile Software Development: Use Measurement To Enable Comparisons Between Methods QUANTITATIVE QUALITATIVE Measure how you are doing Deliverable Size Effort/Cost Duration Quality Process Methods Skills Tools Environment Identify what you are doing Measured Performance Capability Maturity Standard of performance Baseline of Performance 17
19 Lessons from Agile Software Development: Utilize Measurement Results in Decision Making Improvements resulting from current and future initiatives must be measured The basis for measuring improvements may include: Industry data Organizational baseline data It is necessary for the organization to put a stake in the ground relative to current performance level in order to improve development practices 18
20 Lessons from Agile Software Development: Collecting & Reporting Identify data set (typically project oriented) Collect baseline data Project measures (e.g., effort, size, cost, duration, defects) Project attributes (e.g., skill levels, tools, process, etc.) Analyze data Performance comparisons (identification of process strengths and weaknesses) Industry averages and best practices Performance modeling (identify high impact areas) Report results 19
21 Lessons from Agile Software Development: Using Historical Delivery Rates DEFINITION CAPABILITY EFFORT REQUIREMENT PROJECT SIZE and COMPLEXITY RATE OF DELIVERY Effort Schedule Costs FUNCTION POINT SIZE HOURS per FUNCTION POINT 20

23 22 Suggested Innovation & Value Metrics for Agile Process Improvement Innovation Number of Process Change Requests generated at end of Sprint Number of pilot sprints required to achieve Customer Satisfaction Number of Process Change requests after Processes Implemented Value Delivery % improvement in functional value delivered (if agile development used) % improvement in time to market % reduction in defect removal time (if agile development used) % resource time lost to new process education/implementation in sprint
24 Which Methodology Should I Use? Waterfall, Iterative and Spiral Methods Predictive Performance Large Teams Highly Structured Environments Outsourced or Multi sourced Projects High Financial or Safety Risk Significant Hardware Integration Agile/DOI Methods Exploratory Projects Small Teams Participative Environments Experienced Personnel Active Business Partners Software Dominant Projects In sourced Projects High Risk of Unknown Requirements 23
25 Do I Choose Agile or a Hybrid? Initial arguments for selecting a hybrid (traditional) method. High level of risk Large size of project Specified delivery commitment Organizational environment Suggested selection process: Map agile attributes based on organization s tolerance for risk and change Some agile practices can be transplanted to another methodology Leverage best practice processes to augment method chosen 24
26 Conclusions Use of Agile methods affects performance outcomes Choosing the appropriate methodology will maximize your delivery performance Agile performance can be successful 25
