Agile Projects and Programmes (EN)
12:20 – 13:05
Vic Page, Agile Business Consortium
The challenge today is how to take well-established Agile concepts and use them for projects or
programmes, where the focus is more significantly on transformational organisational change, and
where the horizon may be quite some time in the future. Agile Project Management meets this
challenge and takes many of the principles inherent in Agile Business Consortium’s Agile Project
Framework, which encompasses multiple teams, and incorporates the governance required for larger
projects.
This presentation initially explores, at a high level of abstraction, the Agile Business consortiums Agile
Project Framework – since this is the framework that forms the stepping-stone to the Agile
Programme Management framework created by the Agile Business Consortium.
The presentation then goes on to explore the Agile Programme Management framework that
incorporates iterative and incremental delivery of benefits, just-in-time planning and frequent review.
In addition, its governance model ensures the programme will capture its vision, whilst empowering
teams to work without undue interference. Finally the presentation explores the characteristics of an
Agile PMO.

Agile approach for EPL system implementation in Office of Electronic
Communications (EN)
15:05 – 15:50
Marcin Cichy, Prezydent, Urzędu Komunikacji Elektronicznej
Rafał Gęślicki, Executive Partner, PositivePro Ltd
The President of Office of Electronic Communications (UKE - https://en.uke.gov.pl/) is the national
regulatory authority for the market of telecommunications and postal services. The President of the
UKE is also the specialized authority in the area of equipment conformity assessment, including
telecommunications terminal equipment and radio equipment.
EPL is the main information system of UKE and consists of several modules. The first attempt for EPL
implementation took place between 2014 and 2015 and was unsuccessful. The next attempt was
organized based on an Agile approach deriving from DSDM techniques. Ideas came from “The
challenges of scaling agile” speech delivered by Chris Battersby (Audit Principal, The National Audit
Office) at the Agile Techniques Conference in London in February 2016 (APMG and DSDM
Consortium were partners of this event). PositivePro, as UKE advisor and agile consultant, prepared
an Agile environment and supported UKE with the project management lifecycle. The EPL system
was finally implemented in UKE in December 2016 and the Agile approach adopted was one of most
important success factors.
ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS
The majority of roundtable discussions will be held during three separate sessions at
11:30, 14:15 and 16:10 (roundtable discussion duration: 45 minutes).

Agile Retrospectives - using feedback to drive strategic changes for teams and
organisations (EN)
Myriam Hamed Torres, Thomson Reuters
Agile retrospectives are an excellent exercise to continuously improve the way that people and teams
operate. This practice is widely implemented in most organisations however quite often dealing with
some feedback can be overwhelming; managers and team leads can struggle to prioritise the right
changes. Is the feedback and associated actions aligned with the strategies set by the organisation?
This session will cover: A range of tools and exercises to collate feedback from teams
 Techniques to align feedback to organisational values and strategic objectives
 Examples of mechanisms to quantify and report on improvements
Participants are more than welcome to share experiences and contribute with examples.

Agile w zarządzaniu zmianą organizacyjną o zasięgu globalnym (PL)
Anna Erdmańska, PMQ
Uczestnicy sesji poznają przykład dużej zmiany organizacyjnej przeprowadzonej w globalnym banku
zatrudniającym 230 tys. pracowników na całym świecie. Transformacja została przeprowadzona w
modelu hybrydowym zarządzania projektami (kaskada z elementami agile) i z powodzeniem mogła
zostać przeprowadzona przy zastosowaniu AgilePM. Podczas prezentacji będziemy rozważać
następujące zagadnienia: Które elementy podejścia zwinnego zostały zastosowane intuicyjnie? Które
elementy nie zadziałały i dlaczego? Co jeszcze można było usprawnić? Wreszcie: kiedy zespół
projektowy jest gotowy do świadomego zastosowania AgilePM?
W drugiej części spotkania zaprezentowane zostaną role i obowiązki przewidziane w modelu zespołu
DSDM. W trakcie warsztatu uczestnicy wypracują model zespołu dla przedstawianego studium
przypadku.

DevOps - przepis na Agile na przykładzie The Phoenix Project? (PL)
Aleksander Solecki, RETHINK Digital Business Design
Czy podejście DevOps urzeczywistnia pomysł na zwinną formę? Lista trudności jest długa,
począwszy od kultury, przez narzędzia i proces, na strukturach skończywszy. O tym właśnie
porozmawiamy! 45 minut to mało, dlatego skorzystamy z ram, które oferuje nam gra The Phoenix
Project: kto jest interesariuszem, jakie elementy systemu nas blokują, jak wytyczać drogę zmian? Nie
zdążymy zagrać, ale porozmawiamy o kluczowych elementach usprawnień w kierunku DevOps, by
tak jak przypadku Projektu Feniks jednak się udało:

Fabryka Innowacji - kreatywność jako kompetencja biznesowa organizacji (PL)
Aleksander Solecki, RETHINK Digital Business Design
Wspólną cechą liderów cyfrowego rynku jest to, że potrafią systematycznie wprowadzać innowacyjne
usługi i produkty. Podstawą kreatywnej organizacji są trzy dyscypliny tworzące jej “warsztat
narzędziowy”:



Design Thinking - systematyczne dostarczanie nowych pomysłów na innowacje biznesowe o
wysokiej wartości.
Agile Management: skuteczna realizacja pomysłów biznesowych za pomocą rozwiązań
technologicznych.
Lean Startup: zapewnienie szybkiej weryfikacji j rynkowej wartości pomysłów.
W trakcie sesji przedstawimy nasze doświadczenia z łączenia tych trzech dyscyplin w Fabrykę
Innowacji – organizację, która potrafi realizować proces innowacji produktowej szybciej niż reszta
rynku.

"Kinshasa Agile African Adventure" – planowanie z użyciem MoSCoW (PL)
Jolanta Łabędzka-Benisz, OMEC
W projekcie Agile, w którym czas jest sztywno ustalony, kluczowe jest zrozumienie względnej
ważności prac do wykonania. Metodyka AgilePM proponuje użycie w tym celu praktyki MoSCoW.
Jednakże wykorzystanie priorytetyzacji MoSCoW wymaga innego sposobu myślenia i działania w
porównaniu do tradycyjnego planowania. Umiejętności tej można się nauczyć podczas planowania
projektów – niekoniecznie tych rzeczywistych.
Podczas naszej sesji uczestnicy będą mieli możliwość wzięcia udziału we fragmencie warsztatu
planowania „Kinshasa Agile African Adventure” i zaplanowania fragmentu projektu.

Presenter/s:
Priorytetyzacja MoSCoW – "Warsztat Facylitowany" (PL)
Jolanta Łabędzka-Benisz, OMEC
Warsztat Facylitowany jest jedną z praktyk oferowanych przez AgilePM, ułatwiającą uczestnikom
warsztatu wspólną pracę dla osiągnięcia uzgodnionego celu. Celem może być rozwiązanie problemu,
wygenerowanie pomysłów czy podjęcie decyzji.
W projekcie Agile nadawanie priorytetów zadaniom jest nieodłącznym elementem procesu
planowania zarówno na poziomie całego projektu, na poziomie pojedynczego Timeboxa, jak i
pojedynczej iteracji. Nie jest to zadanie łatwe, gdy mamy grupę interesariuszy o rozbieżnych celach.
Tu z pomocą przychodzi Warsztat Facylitowany.
Podczas naszej sesji przeprowadzimy z uczestnikami Warsztat Facylitowany poświęcony
priorytetyzacji.

w PZU SA. Omawiana transformacja odbywała się w zespole rozproszonym.

zmniejszaliśmy opór przed zmianą. Wreszcie jak mierzyliśmy nasze postępy i jak udało się połączyć
wartości Kanban z MBO. Przedstawię również filozofię, która wspiera wdrożenie Kanban i pozwala
zespołowi czerpać pełnię korzyści z tej metody.

What type of culture would you like to help design? (EN)
Leanne Page, MSLGROUP
As we move into the digital age, the realisation of change is paramount across businesses and many
are transitioning from waterfall to agile not only for its day to day methods but also for its principles changing the way we interact with each other.
In an effort for all people to feel invested in this shift, we need to ask ourselves, adopting agile, how
can we create the environment we would like to work in?
