Tailoring Agile and Regulated Environments
Add to calendarMany agile development teams deal with restricting environments which make it impossible to “done” any feature in an iteration. These restrictions originate in external regulations (laws, norms) and internal habits of an organization.
If it is not possible to remove these impediments, how are you able to get your features done? How to strengthen agile approaches in such environments?
This workshop elaborates the Definition-of-Done in regulated environments for further transition to agile development. Participants exercise tailoring their own environments for improvement.
Agenda:
- 10 min: [Set The Stage] Introduction
- 15 min: Getting to know the group; Expectations of participants
- 10 min: [Gather Data] Examples of Agile in Regulated Environments; What is a regulated environment?; Agile V-Model; Transition of the Definition-of-Done
- 15 min: Experience, Issues, and Topics of Participants
- 40 min: [Generate Insights] Analyzing Issues (Group work in time boxed iterations)
- 40 min: [Decide What To Do] Finding Solutions (Group work in time boxed iterations)
- 20 min: Presentation of results
- 20 min: Discussion
- 10 min: [Closing]
All group work is performed in a World Café-like way to encourage interaction and exchange of all participants.
Group size: 3-5 groups with 4-6 people need space to move around and work with flip charts.
- Find ways to setup a Definition-of-Done in a restricting environment
- Find ways to Understand how to tailor traditional models for transition to agile
- Participants have the possibility to develop solutions to their issues in group work
