Radical Product Thinking Your Organization: How to create a culture that sustains innovation and performance (EN)

More about presentation:
While it's clear that a good organizational culture is important, culture has been a pervasive problem - in a survey of the tech industry in the US, 57% of respondents indicated that they were feeling burnt out. Yet, culture change initiatives are often met with eye-rolls. How can you systematically create the culture you envision in your organization and defy these stats?

This interactive session by the author of Radical Product Thinking (coming to bookstores on Sept 28th) brings you a new perspective on culture. We'll work through how you can transform the amorphous and abstract idea of culture into a set of actionable steps so you can make work feel more meaningful and help high-performing teams thrive.You'll be inspired by the big idea and walk away with practical steps to systematically create an environment where teams can do their best work together.

Як визначити менеджера в котрого завжди майже все готово (RU)

More about presentation:
Якщо спробувати виділити якусь типологію серед менеджерів проектів, то напрошується поділ по відношенню до результату і завершення проектів.

Одні менеджери можуть випустити проект, а деяких доводиться штовхати. У когось проект виходить в термін, а у когось він «майже готовий». Так, такою поведінкою страждають не тільки менеджери проектів, а й фахівці інших напрямків. Однак, якщо у проекту ще й менеджер, у якого все готово, але не здано / не передана / не викотилося - біда

Як зрозуміти на ранніх етапах, що перед вами саме такий тип менеджера? Як уникнути помилок при підвищенні або наймання?

Спробуємо подивитися на менеджерів в більш широкій часовій перспективі, ніж «проект», «ітерація», «реліз».

Найприкріші і найдорожчі помилки з якими я стикався у своїй практиці менеджера і які бачив у людей в своєму оточенні ставалися не через брак розуміння технологій, agile-практик або вміння працювати з певними інструментами. Найчастіше диявол криється в нюансах комунікації, розуміння ситуації і прийняття правильних рішень в умовах обмеженої інформації і часу. Як уникати таких помилок - не пишуть в підручниках і не вчать на дводенних сертифікаціях по Скраму. Зазвичай хист робити речі правильно приходить через пережиті проблеми і ескалації. Отже, я би хотів поділитись з вами своєю підбіркою із топ-10 ситуацій в роботі проектного менеджера, на які варто звернути особливу увагу. Тільки практика і реальні кейси.

Badass Agile Project Management
Effective short-cycled project management from the trenches

More info about the topic:
After 20 years of buzzword bingo, Agile Project Management has come into its own and is here to stay. Agile frameworks are used to create products and services in all fields of play, from software to manufacturing, in advanced lithography as well as medical systems. Time to take stock of what matters and what works, and identify the five key differentiators for successful Agile projects.

Communicate Vision and Intent
Good Project Managers have a roadmap for their project. Great ones know how to communicate that well and paint a compelling picture of the future.

Discipline Equals Freedom
Giving control to your teams as a Project Manager does not mean you let go. As a matter of fact, it means the opposite. You create a bounded environment for action, not an unsupervised playground.

Discomfort Is Good
Learning by doing, experimenting your way to success is very uncomfortable, yet required for Agile project success. You must learn to "embrace the suck" and accept your discomfort. If you do, you and your teams can take on any project.

Ambitious Humility
Inspect, adapt, relentlessly improve, and ask for and provide real effective feedback and help.

Start Off On The Right Foot
Details matter, and getting the details right at the start of an Agile project is important. As a take-away, we'll present our proven kickoff approach for Agile projects of any size in any industry.

Elephants Can Dance-Comparing 2 contrasting case studies of Agile Transformation (EN)

Abstract:
Of all the organizations that have so far attempted to be Agile, only few have truly succeeded. The primary reasons for lack of success appears to be the lack of understanding the difference between Agile Adoption and Transformation, and in failing to understand that Agile is a mindset and not a collection of processes, and that transformation has to do with significant changes across the organization.

The speaker will showcase 2 contrasting case studies, one a failure and the other a success in Agile transformation, to bring out the key variables that determine success or failure in Agile Transformation. The speaker will share key recommendations for setting the Agile Transformation initiative on path to success

Developing business resilience in practice (EN)

More info about the topic:
In order to ensure the continuity of a business, Building Resilience must be a key factor in the organizational strategy. In this session you will learn a simple and effective framework to develop business resilience in your organization. As part of this framework, I will explain how to run crisis simulations and how those simulations help organizations not only to be prepared to overcome extreme changes in the market and adapt more quickly to new conditions, but also to become the disruptive change within the market.

Before COVID-19, 2,000 companies participated in the 2019 Global Crisis Survey, 69% have experienced a crisis in the last 5 years and just under 20% say they have been harmed by such experience. Meanwhile, more than 40% say they are "in a better place" after the crisis.

We are now going through a global crisis and we are all experiencing the effect of being unprepared. Some companies will end up strengthening in the new normal, others will end up destroyed.

Even in 2019 only 5% of surveyed companies stated that they do not expect to experience a crisis in the future, and that was before COVID-19. What will this crisis bring to your business? Is your company ready for the next disruption? Do you decide to prepare or accept the cost of not being ready?

This constant conflict is often over simplified leading to bifurcated opinion with less guidance on how to strike the right balance between two extremes.

Еволюція Agile Маніфесту (RU)

More about presentation:
Звичайно більшість з вас знає, чи думає, що знає, що таке Agile. Багато вже спробували успішно, а може і не дуже, принципи «гнучкої» розробки ПО на практиці. Деякі навіть вчать нової «методології» інших людей за методичками, розробленими тими, хто навіть не дочитав маніфест до кінця. Сьогодні я теж не буду детально розбирати всі 12 принципів (це вже було успішно зроблено багатьма до мене), і обмежуся тільки 4 цінностями, але зроблю це дещо незвичним способом. Я постараюся відстежити наскільки ціннісна модель Agile цілісна, як вона трансформувалася і чому виглядає саме так. Можливо це допоможе розібратися в темі тим з вас, хто відчуває, що «впроваджувачі методологій» десь недопрацювали, консультанти щось не договорюють, а рецепти з методичок постійно дають збій, і взагалі «цей ваш Агіль не працює».

In my presentation I'll share the main decisions and actions performed to deliver the project in 30 days.

About speaker:
I come from a third generation 'mainly teachers' family and it shows. I've tried a bunch of jobs before figuring out what suits me best. I've been a teacher of English, recruiter, manager, camp counsellor, translator for books and interpreter for 2 world champions. Started working online with all remote team members in IT in 2013 and continue on and off till now. I've hired and fired and was looking for the environment where I make noticeable impact. And it's been FlixBus for more than 4 years already. I've run a bunch of successful and not experiments and ready to share. I'm a mom of 2 and my children brought the toughest lessons to learn. I never stop learning. My main focus areas have been feedback culture, Agile and Scrum, Kanban for business and support teams, organisational design and ORSC, raising POs and mature stakeholders. I'm a certified Business Coach Trainer by Erickson Coaching International, A-CSM, A-CSPO, CSP, Certified in Kanban Management II, ORSC Foundation, LeSS basics.

Інтегративне мислення в дії: як приймати рішення, якими пишаються (UA)

More about presentation:
Ми приймаємо рішення щодня. Іноді на подив швидко, іноді довго і болісно досягаємо компромісу. Усі ми прагнемо до творчості, але частіше опускаємо руки та покладаємося лише на легкодоступні дані - ті, які ми хочемо бачити. Іноді пишаємося зробленим вибором, але частіше чуємо нарікання про його недоцільність. Запрошую вас послухати про мій досвід вирішення цих випробувань: як наша команда бавилася з інструментами інтегративного мислення і чого ми навчилися.
