  3. Agile PMOs “over the 10 years that the PPSOSIG has been in existence, as a profession we've just about got to grips with dealing with waterfall projects, their delivery and their governance.” “How do we fare with agile projects then? "Not very mature"   “we really need to start having the debates and formulating the approaches right now, if the PPSO is to survive in this new world” Taken from the August 2010 newsletter by Chris Walters

  5. Background Agile & scrum

  6. Values of Agile • Individuals and interactions over processes and tools • Working software 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.

  7. Agile?

  8. What is Scrum? • Scrum has been used as a framework to develop complex products since the early 1990s. • Framework consists of a set of Scrum Teams and their associated roles; Time-Boxes, Artifacts, and Rules • Employs an iterative, incremental approach to development for predictability and risk control • Every Sprint - teams build and deliver increments of potentially shippable functionality that adheres to a working definition of “done.” • Encourages self organising & managing teams “In almost every instance in which Scrum has been applied, exponential productivity gains have been realised”. (Ken Schwaber and Mike Beedle, 2002)

  9. Artefacts, Roles, Time-Boxes Scrum Roles • Product Owner – Prioritises the backlog • Scrum Master – Runs the daily “scrums” • Scrum Team – Delivers artefacts and products • Time-Boxes • Release Planning Meeting • Sprint • Sprint Planning Meeting • Sprint Review • Sprint Retrospective • Daily Scrum. Artefacts • Product Backlog • Release Burndown • Sprint Backlog • Sprint Burndown

  14. Agile Challenge Wow this agile stuff means I don’t have to document anything! Wow this agile stuff means I can give the users untested products!

  15. Scrum & the PMO PMO Scrum of Scrums Scrum

  16. How Agile challenges the PMO • Misalignment of governance with Agile • Protracted sign off & workflows • Waterfall End stage gateways • Creates overhead and lack of accountability • Misalignment of tools, techniques and reporting • Can’t keep pace with velocity of sprints • Disconnect between scrum board & PPM tools • New ways of reporting • scrum boards, backlogs, burndown charts Image: Michal Marcol / FreeDigitalPhotos.net

  17. How Agile challenges the PMO • Initially most staff in the PMO resist the transition to Scrum • Change is personally and professionally frightening • Absence of PMO in Scrum and agile literature • The “Process Police” staff are protective due to compliance requirements • Scrum scatters traditional project management responsibilities • Scrum Master, Product Owner and the Team, • Project managers questioning their role.
