Podcasts about fast agile

In this thought-provoking episode of the Mob Mentality Show, we are joined by Ariel Pérez to explore the fascinating intersection of Complex Adaptive Organizations, Organizational Topologies, and the FAST Agile Framework. Together, we dive into the challenges and opportunities of modern software development and organizational dynamics, offering actionable insights for leaders, teams, and anyone navigating complexity in their work. Highlights from the Episode... Complex Adaptive Organizations and FAST Agile: Manufacturing vs. Software Development: Why building the same product repeatedly differs from creating custom software . Complexity Theory in Software Development: How unpredictable side effects shape outcomes and the pursuit of predictability in organizations. Fixed Scope and Fixed Date: Are they real business needs, or just external motivators? What are their long-term impacts on quality and delivery? Theory X vs. Theory Y (management theories): How a leaders' management principles and practices influence autonomy, trust, and collaboration. Dynamic Teams in FAST Agile: The pros and cons of adapting teams dynamically to match work needs versus forcing work into rigid team structures. Story of Transitioning to FAST: A tale of initial resistance to the FAST Agile approach and the eventual embrace of its benefits. Building a Culture of Experimentation and Learning: Experimentation as a Foundation for Innovation: How to test hypotheses in product development and team practices without compromising quality. From Fear to Trust: Encouraging experimentation in new teams or under new leadership while creating safety for bold ideas. Practical Experiments: Implementing small feature flags, A/B testing (comparing two versions in production), and time-limited trial runs to foster innovation. Respect and Radical Candor: Building trust through open communication, mutual respect, and the occasional dose of healthy banter

Would you like me to ask him if he'd like to speak to this group? Aki Namioka to Everyone (10:05 PM) Where is Niels Pflaeging located? Jon Jorgensen to Everyone (10:06 PM) Germany Ricardo to Everyone (10:08 PM) For Jobs at Costco pls send me an email at ricardo.garcia@costco.com shama to Everyone (10:08 PM) Ron Lichty to Everyone (10:10 PM) Enterprise Agile Global Community: Dennis Stevens: Agile for Execs: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89071064881?pwd=a1NoY2ptN3BudGd1OGNINXNtQ0ZYQT09 Josh Novajosky to Everyone (10:11 PM) Amazing shirt Ron Barry L Smith to Everyone (10:18 PM) “LeSS”, of course, refers to “Lightweight Similarity to Scrum" - really, they copied all their good ideas from Nexus. Ron Lichty to Everyone (10:24 PM) I thought I heard Paige Watson describe the FAST meeting as five PdMs bringing in the five priorities for the cycle? Is a “nexus” essentially what others are calling a "tribe”? Barry L Smith to Everyone (10:27 PM) Yes, similar to tribe or ART (Agile Release Train) - the group of teams that are collaborating in developing & delivering a Product Backlog. Jon Jorgensen to Everyone (10:29 PM) Seems like HUGE enterprises would have HUGE concerns (problems) to resolve for the people of the world and inside the organization. Silpa to Everyone (10:31 PM) Our scrum team is of 16 members. We formed mini scrum teams of 4 in each team with 1 PO, 1 SM, making sure we have a process expert supporting each mini scrum team. Jon Jorgensen to Everyone (10:31 PM) The crafting of experiments to see if hardware/software or other kinds of “works” is what runs through an organization. Which of the Frameworks are predicated on the assumption that software products are the resolution of these concerns? Barry L Smith to Everyone (10:32 PM) Jon, are you essentially asking, “Is experimentation a core element of your framework”? Jon Jorgensen to Everyone (10:32 PM) yes Me to Aki Namioka (Direct Message) (10:33 PM) What is our "finish" time? One hour or? Jon Jorgensen to Everyone (10:33 PM) And “What kind of professionals are involved in the experiment?” Barry L Smith to Everyone (10:34 PM)

SUBSCRIBED من القواعد اللي بيقوم عليها الـ Agile Mindset هي إنك تفشل بسرعة ! مش زي ما فهمت بالضبط… ... هنا مش بنتكلم إننا نفشل دايماً ولكن بنتكلم إن الفشل بيبقى من ضمن الخطوات إللي بتوصلّك للنجاح ... اتكلمنا عن الموضوع دا بشكل تفصيلي أكتر في البودكاست دا

Ron Quartel's roots in extreme programming lead him to develop FAST Agile (fluid scaling technology), where people form a marketplace around the work. We talk about FAST Agile and the 2 year experiment he ran using it and why the team decided to discontinue it. He shares why he loves 10% time, hackathons and Open Space; and how T-shaped colleagues grow through the give and take of both mentoring and coaching. Lastly, he challenges us with an idea for modernizing the pair programming model (popularized at Menlo Innovations) to incorporate more freedom.

I am excited! A lot... Because in this episode I have the honor to present to you the mind behind the newest agile framework called FAST AGILE. Ron Quartel has developed this framework as a way on how to do agile at scale. His inspiration came from an open space un-conference with 800 participants being capable to self-organize within 20 minutes. Put in lots of work, some chaos theory, and enough courage and out came the new kid: FAST AGILE. Similar to an open space the work is thrown at the wall and people start to self-organize. If you want to know more, listen in...! If you're as excited about FAST as I am afterwards and want to try it, please let me know! And thank you Ron for being on this podcast!

Hosts Ryan Ripley, Ron Quartel, Amitai Schlair Discussion Ryan Ripley (@ryanripley), Ron Quartel (@agileagitator) and Amitai Schlair (@schmonz) got together to discuss a real live #NoEstimates project, variable length sprints, the power of the sprint goal, and true software craftsmanship. Ron joined us back on episode 10 to discuss Fast Agile and came back to talk about a project he recently kicked off at a major corporation that uses #NoEstimates practices and modifications to the scrum framework. The concept of velocity and story points is a dirty, rotten hack. @agileagitatorTweet This We talked through common concerns and questions that come up when discussing these topics and even highlighted some patterns that seem to be emerging from these #NoEstimates experiments. And then…we called it a night. Will you help the Agile for Humans podcast grow? Please review Agile for Humans on iTunes or Stitcher and leave your comments on the blog site.

The FAST Agile is a combination of Open Space Technology, Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), and Story Mapping. After watching hundreds of participants use open space technology to organize and hold a conference, Ron decided that such self-organization practices could also be applied to software development.Rather than relying control mechanisms like SAFe and LeSS, FAST Agile is a scalable agile framework that relies and individuals and interactions along with pulling work in to teams. Utilizing a 2 day sprint, FAST Agile implicitly requires teams to break their work down in to small chunks and to swarm the work in a #MobProgramming fashion.

Hosts Ryan Ripley, Ron Quartel Discussion Ron Quartel (@AgileAgitator) is an agile coach, blogger (blog.agileagitator.com) and the creator of the FAST Agile framework. The FAST Agile (www.fast-agile.com) is a combination of Open Space Technology, Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), and Story Mapping. After watching hundreds of participants use open space technology to organize and hold a conference, Ron decided that such self-organization practices could also be applied to software development. Rather than relying control mechanisms like SAFe and LeSS, FAST Agile is a scalable agile framework that relies and individuals and interactions along with pulling work in to teams. Utilizing a 2 day sprint, FAST Agile implicitly requires teams to break their work down in to small chunks and to swarm the work in a #MobProgramming fashion. Documentation on the FAST Agile framework can be found at (www.fast-agile.com). We then moved on to the pain points of agile coaching, including: Fixing bad scrum implementations over and over again Lack of XP usage on scrum teams Mis-understanding of what makes scrum work Especially surprising is the low adoption rates of XP on scrum teams. According to the Scrum Alliance State of Scrum Survey 2015, only 16% of scrum teams also practice XP. The Version One survey had the usage rate even lower. Ron is giving a talk at Agile 2015 about using Scrum and XP for Hyper-productivity. If you're going to be in DC for the “big conference” this is a must see session. Finally, we wrapped up with a conversation about agile certifications. While the classes are good, Ron questions the value of “certifying” CSM's after a 2-day course. He started the #SayNoToAgileCertifications and hopes to see improvements in this area. And then…we called it a night.
