Agile V2 Coach's Field Manual (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781735858128)

Author James K Smith says, "don't add complexity unless that complexity is worth the dysfunction it addresses." James has assembled the essential field manual for lean-agile coaches and business systems engineers who want to move beyond the current offering of certifications and agile frameworks to what he calls Agile V2 - the scalable, structured organizational conversation that delivers customer value in a simple, coherent, and measurable way. In field manual fashion, James covers step-by-step how to set up alignment points and a complete organizational backlog from investment, to portfolio, to delivery. He details when to use Kanban and Scrum processes, how to elaborate the conversation for optimal execution flow using built-in metrics, and why Scrum is the most predictable execution tool for providing value to the customer. The field manual includes templates for flow and elaboration of strategic initiatives, epics, sub-epics, features, and stories, along with ceremony templates used by high-performing scrum teams. Also included are techniques and templates for elaborating kaizen or A3 stories. Additionally, you'll get valuable insights on how to codify trust, transparency, commitment, and continuous improvement right into the organizational conversation. Finally, the manual connects all the pieces to illustrate a working lean-agile organization without the use of any of the canned, legacy frameworks. Closing thoughts introduce the concept of test-driven transformation.The AGILE V2 COACH'S FIELD MANUAL is the definitive reference that should be carried in every agile coach's backpack.
