Wondering why your agile transformation stalled before it even started? You may be stuck in the "𝘼𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙥.” In our latest PreProd Book Club session, “𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗶𝘁,” we discussed practical strategies for continuous improvement, increasing flow, and embracing experimental approaches. Bryon Kroger, Founder and CEO of Rise8, demystified the “Alignment Trap,” emphasizing how excessive focus on alignment, in the absence of a path to production to validate assumptions, leads to wasted resources and entrenched anti-culture that stall or stop your efforts. Continuous Delivery must come first—it’s the foundation for validating outcomes, driving real value, and creating a lasting cultural change. You still have time to join our final discussion January 16 at 12pm ET / 9am PT - Part IV: Transform.

As Peter Maddison and Dave S. discuss in episode 107 of Definitely, Maybe Agile podcast, organizations must rethink resilience in an era of heightened volatility. We're facing a tougher breed of risks that can strike globally and linger for months or years. In this episode, we emphasized the need for tabletop exercises examining scenarios like: Environmental disasters Geopolitical instability Regulatory overhauls Prolonged supply chain breakdowns With digital transformation driving more frequent releases, resilience can't be an annual checkbox. Failure to weigh non-functional requirements like scalability means a single change could degrade critical systems. Ouch. True resilience requires dismantling organizational silos. You need tight alignment across the entire business - with leaders, engineers, and operators all marching together. An increasingly blurry line begs the question: When does continuity planning become a core business strategy? Rethinking resilience won't be easy. But neither is recovering from the next "black swan" crisis if you're unprepared. Is your organization ready? We'd love to hear your perspective. How are you augmenting resilience to withstand tomorrow's systemic shocks?

We would like to invite you to our Westfall Wednesday Webinar. Agile Quality (Assurance) presented by Scott Duncan August 21, 2024 at 12:01 pm Central Time To register go to https://lnkd.in/gFRBD7TE Agile methods are often characterized by the dictionary definition of 'agile', which involves quick, easy movement and pivoting in direction. What the definition doesn't talk about is the need to maintain stability while doing that. A gymnast would not be considered very 'agile' if they could not maintain balance and stability while they performed. In product development 'stability' is about maintaining quality while moving smoothly and easily forward. This webinar will discuss the various ways an Agile approach pursues maintaining that quality.
