Why are YOU here today?

What is ‘Agile’?‘Agile’ only for
web development?
‘Agile’ only for tiny stuff?
‘Agile’ = loss of control?
What is ‘DSDM’?
‘Agile’ in mission critical
projects?
What is ‘Scrum’?
Are we talking Governance of a project
of Governance of portfolios of change?

a) Time Driven
“I don’t want it perfect – I want it Thursday”
Traditional Agile
Agile inverts the normal project management paradigm…

Can we define Agile Governance principles at several levels: Project Level?
Governance of one specific project? Scrum? DSDM?
Programme Level? Governance of hybrid programmes that comprises both:
Waterfall projects & Agile projects?
Portfolio Level? Governance across many projects?

Is ‘Agile Governance’ really about being adaptable?

3. Can we be ready for & take advantage of the unexpected?
A brief overview of the practical impact of Chaos Theory Butterfly effect (Sensitivity to initial conditions) How long is a piece of string? (Fractals) Satisficing a business case (Alternative stable states)
Complex outcomes from simple systems Self-organisation
Ants People (so very different?)

Increase the feedback and the Lorenz equation becomes unstable and ‘chaotic’:
