Lean & Agile FRAMEWORK? Frame-work (frām'wûrk') A support structure, skeletal enclosure, or scaffolding platform; Hypothetical model A multi-tiered framework for using lean & agile methods at the enterprise, portfolio, program, & project levels An approach embracing values and principles of lean thinking, product development flow, & agile methods Adaptable framework for collaboration, prioritizing work, iterative development, & responding to change Tools for agile scaling, rigorous and disciplined planning & architecture, and a sharp focus on product quality Maximizes BUSINESS VALUE of organizations, programs, & projects with lean-agile values, principles, & practices Leffingwell, D. (2011). Agile software requirements: Lean requirements practices for teams, programs, and the enterprise. Boston, MA: Pearson Education. 3
How do Lean & Agile INTERSECT? Agile is naturally lean and based on small batches Agile directly supports six principles of lean thinking Agile may be converted to a continuous flow system Agile Values Lean Pillars Lean Principles Lean & Agile Practices Flow Principles Empowered Teams Customer Collaboration Respect for People Relationships Customer Value Value Stream Customer relationships, satisfaction, trust, and loyalty Team authority, empowerment, and resources Team identification, cohesion, and communication Product vision, mission, needs, and capabilities Product scope, constraints, and business value Product objectives, specifications, and performance As is policies, processes, procedures, and instructions To be business processes, flowcharts, and swim lanes Initial workflow analysis, metrication, and optimization Decentralization Economic View WIP Constraints & Kanban Iterative Delivery Responding to Change Continuous Improvement Continuous Flow Customer Pull Perfection Batch size, work in process, and artifact size constraints Cadence, queue size, buffers, slack, and bottlenecks Workflow, test, integration, and deployment automation Roadmaps, releases, iterations, and product priorities Epics, themes, feature sets, features, and user stories Product demonstrations, feedback, and new backlogs Refactor, test driven design, and continuous integration Standups, retrospectives, and process improvements Organization, project, and process adaptability/flexibility Control Cadence & Small Batches Fast Feedback Manage Queues/ Exploit Variability Womack, J.

Key Agile SCALING POINTERS One must think and act small to accomplish big things Slow down to speed up, speed up til wheels come off Scaling up lowers productivity, quality, & business value EMPOWER WORKFORCE - Allow workers to help establish enterprise business goals and objectives. ALIGN BUSINESS VALUE - Align and focus agile teams on delivering business value to the enterprise. PERFORM VISIONING - Frequently communicate portfolio, project, and team vision on continuous basis. REDUCE SIZE - Reduce sizes of agile portfolios, acquisitions, products, programs, projects, and teams. ACT SMALL - Get large agile teams to act, behave, collaborate, communicate, and perform like small ones. BE SMALL - Get small projects to act, behave, and collaborate like small ones instead of trying to act larger. ACT COLLOCATED - Get virtual distributed teams to act, behave, communicate and perform like collocated ones. USE SMALL ACQUISITION BATCHES - Organize suppliers to rapidly deliver new capabilities and quickly reprioritize. USE LEAN-AGILE CONTRACTS - Use collaborative contracts to share responsibility instead of adversarial legal ones. USE ENTERPRISE AUTOMATION - Automate everything with Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, & DevOps. Rico, D. F. (2014).

Models of AGILE CONTRACTING Communication, cooperation, and interaction key Shared responsibility vs. blame and adversarialism Needs greater focus on collaboration vs. legal terms Dynamic Value Performance Based Target Cost Optional Scope Collaborative Business & Mission Value OVER Scope, Processes, & Deliverables Personal Interactions OVER Contract, Auditor, & Legal Interactions Conversations and Consensus OVER Contract Negotiations & Control Collaboration & Co-Dependency OVER Methodology & Adversarialism Exploration, Evolution, & Emergence OVER Forecasting & Control Early Continuous Quality Solutions OVER Late, Long-Term Deliveries Entrepreneurialism & Openness OVER Compliance & Self-Interest Customer Satisfaction and Quality OVER Policies & Governance Rico, D.

Principles of AGILE CONTRACTING Manage agile contracts like your personal checkbook Optimize value of dollars, i.e., get most bang for buck Don t burden taxpayers with billion dollar acquisitions FEWER - Fewer high-priority acquisition priorities and needs (vs. kitchen-sink way of buying everything). SMALLER - Smaller low-cost single-mission throwaway acquisitions (vs. century-long, trillion-dollar systems). MICRO TIMELINES - Hyper fast acquisition lifecycles measured in months and years (vs. decades and centuries). EMERGENT DESIGN - Micro-thin capability-based designs (vs. wasteful heavyweight century-long architectures). FLATTER - Flatter gov t agencies, acquisition, organizations & program offices (vs. top-heavy oversight teams). COLLABORATIVE - Smaller flatter cross-functional buyer-supplier teams (vs. adversarial legalistic contracting). CROWDSOURCED - Global bottom-up planning, decisions, funding, risk-sharing & designs (vs. local groupthink). RESULTS BASED - Blackbox, outcome, and product-oriented acquisitions (vs. whitebox, work-in-process focus). MAXIMIZE FLOW - Low-cost intensive automated processes (vs. human-intensive decisions and governance). COMMERCIALIZE - Maximize use of commercial products and services (vs. customized in-sourced solutions). OUTSOURCED DATA - Use commercial open source data & analytics (vs. internal collection, analysis, & reports). Rico, D. F. (2014).
