Agile Terminology
![Page 6: Program Management School Agile & ADDIE Add-Up (AAAU) Elliott Masies Learning 2012 October 21-24, 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051819/55189a50550346a61f8b45d4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
We value:• Individuals and interactions over processes and tools• Completed functionality over comprehensive
documentation• Customer collaboration over contract negotiation• Responding to change over following a plan
“While there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.”
The Agile Manifesto: What Does It Mean?
![Page 7: Program Management School Agile & ADDIE Add-Up (AAAU) Elliott Masies Learning 2012 October 21-24, 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051819/55189a50550346a61f8b45d4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Documentation is not necessary• Processes are not necessary• No need to follow a plan• Agile cannot be audited
• Ill-disciplined means of development• Testing is not needed• Agile is always the best approach

Key to Agile Effectiveness – Great Teams
Harvard Business Review, April 2012
![Page 10: Program Management School Agile & ADDIE Add-Up (AAAU) Elliott Masies Learning 2012 October 21-24, 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051819/55189a50550346a61f8b45d4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Collected “Sociometrics” or measures of how people interact
• A team’s success can be predicted by simply looking at data without even meeting it’s members
• MIT found that: “The most valuable form of communication is face-to-face. E-mail and texting are the least valuable.”
Key to Agile Effectiveness – Great Teams Cont’d
![Page 11: Program Management School Agile & ADDIE Add-Up (AAAU) Elliott Masies Learning 2012 October 21-24, 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051819/55189a50550346a61f8b45d4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Successful teams share several defining characteristics:
• Members talk and listen in equal measure
• Members face one another; gestures are energetic
• Members connect directly with one another – not just the team leader
• Members carry on back channel or side conversations within the
team
• Members break, go exploring outside the team, and bring back
information
Talent contributes far less than communication skills!

Applying Agile – Where Do We Begin?
![Page 13: Program Management School Agile & ADDIE Add-Up (AAAU) Elliott Masies Learning 2012 October 21-24, 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051819/55189a50550346a61f8b45d4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Represents what customers need and value• Ideally, each backlog item should answer:
– Who is the user?– What does the user need to do?– Why does the user need to do that?
In the simplest terms, the Backlog answers the questions,
“What are we building, and why are we building it?”

• Based on Scrum in Rugby• Advancing “the ball” together• Conducted daily• Should last no more than 15 minutes• Scrum answers three questions:
