FAILING TOWARDS VICTORY A tale of agile experimentation, and using failure to lead to success!
WHY ARE WE HERE? I’m here to talk about experiments… • A specific experiment • Board examples, metrics and feedback • What I’ve learned …you’re here to help me! 1. Would you release a feature before it had been accepted by the PO? 2. What does Done mean to your team?
SETTING THE SCENE… • The team • Scrumban process • Continuous improvement • 2 delivery schedules • Metrics gathering
THE EXPERIMENT! • What’s the (perceived) problem? • What’s the agreed proposal to address it? • How will we measure the impact?
MEASUREMENTS • Does the new board reflect our actual workflow? • Is the board easier, or harder, to work with? (And is the extra effort justified?) • Does the change provide a better snapshot of our current work in progress?
THE RESULT
THE NEW EXPERIMENT!

THE NEW RESULT!
IN CONCLUSION… • Experiments can lead to unexpected results… … but they’re results worth generating • Don’t underestimate the human element • I appear to have a latent passive-aggressive streak! ☺
CONCLUSION… PART II Questions for discussion: 1.Would you release a feature before it had been accepted by the PO? 2.What does Done mean to your team?
