Creoss presented this interactive session at the Agile Denver Monthly Meeting on Feb 28, 2011, with members of the Agile Denver users group. In Part One of the session, participants were broken out into groups and asked to answer the question “Your shop is struggling with Agile today, what are the top/first 5 techniques you would apply to put it ona successful path”. The teams then worked diligently to compile their list, select a lead, then present their list. After each team presented their list, we moved into the next part of this meeting. In Part Two, we compared the techniques enumerated by team members in Part One, to techniques that have been found to be extremely effective in accomplishing scalable and sustainable Agile adoption.
The collection of techniques represented in the attached presentation are the top 5 from Paceline, an Agile Adoption Accelerator. Paceline provides foundational, collaborative and artifact techniques that provide “LIFT” for any shop struggling with Agile Adoption. Paceline is value-added to well known Agile approaches such as Scrum, XP. Paceline employs Lean concepts and is highly compliant with Kanban techniques. Paceline focuses on Portfolio, Artifacts, Collaboration, Engineering and Metrics.
Paceline has been applied in over 125 projects/initiatives, across 10 vertical markets, across technology realms as well as numerous geographic configurations.
