Which Agile Technique
Should I Use?
Presented by Stephanie Hawkins, MSIA, CISA
Agile business analysis practitioners apply their experience
and judgment in determining which agile techniques are appropriate to a given
context and when to use a technique. A technique is a manner, method,
or style for conducting a business analysis task or for shaping its output,
according to the BABOK® v3 Guide Glossary
In this presentation, we will explore a variety of
techniques in the "Agile Extension to BABOK® Guide V2" and which
technique might be useful in a given context.
By participating in this discussion, you will learn technique as it relates to:
What are the three Agile planning horizons
* How to relate contexts to
techniques
* What techniques work well for
internal teams
* What techniques work well with
stakeholders external to the team
This presentation will be in American English.

Experiencing Agile
Through Play
Presented by Alison (Ali) Orr Cox LEGO® Serious Play® Method
Facilitator, ICAgile-Agile Coach, CBAP, AAC, PMP, PBA, SAFe Agilist, CSM, TKP,
MBA, Management 3.0, ICAgile ICP
I am often asked why team members should do things like
limit their WIP, or meet every day, or do retrospectives. The truth is that the
Agile approach and its related practices can be hard to fully understand and
embrace unless you experience them personally. For some, the first time they
apply Agile is in the midst of their organization’s Agile Transformation
efforts, which can be overwhelming and cause people to fall back on “the way
we’ve always done it.”
I have found that when people step outside of the context of
their work and instead walk through a high-level, fun simulation of Agile, it
allows them to more fully grasp not only the concepts but also why the concepts
are important. We use gamification because we believe games help a team
experience new processes in a fun, supportive environment that enables them to
understand key points in a relevant, clear, and memorable way through the
'serious play'.

From Project to
Product: “Big Rock” Constraints and How to Overcome Them
Presented by Anne Steiner, Vice President, Product and
Technology, Cprime
Project-based thinking and process is often the largest
inhibitor of achieving agility. It explains why the notion of ‘Project to
Product' has gained such popularity to the point of becoming a buzzword in
recent years.
Despite the enthusiasm about becoming a product-driven organization, many
companies still hang onto their old project-based ways due to some “big rock”
constraints, including funding and separation of IT and business.
So, what can you do to make a successful shift?
Join Anne Steiner, Cprime’s VP of Product & Technology, to explore the
challenges you may face in your product
agility journey and how to overcome them. We’ll explore:
• Common constraints you may encounter
when shifting from project to product and how to address them
• How to shift to product-based funding
models
• The role of the product manager
• Benefits you’ll experience with true
product agility

Lean Portfolio Strategy
Part 3: Epic Management - Take the Exits
Presented by Michiko Quinones and Jean Dahl
Organizations might have set up all the process steps for
portfolio flow: the monthly strategic portfolio review, the portfolio kanban,
even the lean business case. But, they are still not getting the idea that
small, testable, constantly evaluated initiatives are what really increase your
output of value to the customer and put you way ahead of the competition.
In part 1 of this webinar we explored how
signs of imitation LPM show up in an organization’s approach to strategy.
In part 2, we covered how to organize around
value streams with examples of successful LPM.
Now, in this third webinar in our Lean Portfolio Management series we’ll join
Cprime's Michiko Quinones (Jira Align Consultant) and Jean Dahl (General
Manager, Scaled Agility) to learn techniques to:
• Question performing work that doesn't
clearly align to your organization's strategy
•
Develop a process that makes
things smaller and testable when it comes to initiative creation and management
• Build a culture that allows work to
stop if it's not going to meet its intended purpose
• Make sure that you are "thinking
lean," rather than just "doing lean"

Navigating Difficult
Conversations
Presented by Andrea Brockmeier, PMP, PBA, ECBA, AAC,
Watermark Learning
Engaging in difficult conversations constructively is a
skill that can make or break working relationships. Environments where people
are able to have tough discussions in a safe, positive way are more
collaborative, creative, and productive. In this presentation, explore the
myths surrounding conflict and get a new perspective on how to approach those
dicey discussions most of us would rather avoid. You will learn the various
responses to conflict and get an opportunity to reflect on your own biases. A
structured conversation approach will be illustrated that can be used to create
better outcomes for everyone involved. Expect to leave with fresh perspectives
about how to navigate difficult conversations often resulting from the
inevitable differences we experience when working with others.
