Ok, so as I watched this I was reminded of my time as a surface warfare office in the US Navy. Ship navigation is completely an agile approach! You have wind, currents and tides constantly taking you off coarse. You take hourly or at a minimum 4 hour positions using a variety of means and plot the coordinates on the navigation chart. Are you where you expect/want to be? Usually not...change course, change speed, etc. and take another position fix in an hour and see where you are on the chart. Keep doing this until you arrive at the planned destination!

Great video and analogy. The only comment I would make is that I kind of disagree when you say that for each stroke we get value because there is value only when you score a goal. Other than that I love the part on risks etc. The analogy I use is vacations: The waterfall way is using a pre-packaged tour. Everything is set at the beginning and even if things are not going as planned, there is very little possibility to adapt. So if you, as a customer, want to spend less time or more time somewhere, if it is raining during a planned outdoor activity, if, if, if... then well you might end up not being a satisfied customer. The agile way, you set a vision: destination, type of vacation (sports, cultural, beach, ...) and you fix your time and budget. You prioritise for the beginning of your trip the things you don't want to miss, your must haves. You may end up not doing everything you wanted to do, you may end up doing things you had not planned because once you are there you will adapt depending on what you see (not just what you had read). Your satisfaction of your vacations is not dependent on if you have done everything you had in mind before the trip (it does not depend on achieving the whole scope). And everything you do during your vacation is value delivered.

Two images: A cheetah and a Gazelle? Which one is more agile? ... Cheetah = built for speed in a straight line Gazelle = built for ability to change direction quickly Learning: The gazelle is more agile and almost all cases wins - the cheetah focuses on picking out the young and the weak. Agile is about the ability to change direction quickly so you can experiment and adapt to changing market conditions (and avoid being eaten by the competition). I need to repeatedly remind people that Agile is not about going fast. Agile is about the ability to change direction quickly. Agile is a gazelle.

before we go into the analogy that you asked for, I just want you to know that I just found out about this channel this morning and subscribed immediately after, for your crisp and concise explanation of Scrum and Kanban. Okay, so I'd like to analogize Agile as indoor volleyball, and Waterfall as football (soccer). In indoor volleyball you only have 3 oportunity to hit the ball whenever it comes to your side of court, you and your team must try to defend, pass, and try to make killing deliveries in just 3 steps. After each time you deploy an attack, there's almost nothing you can do except to observe and anticipate what's coming before your opposition 'deliver' their 'feedback' attack on you. Speed of thinking and action is paramount in this game, if you need to change strategy you can only do that during timeouts (limited opportunity) and between sets (=product iteration).

Ok, I know you asked the question nearly 2 years ago but I really loved the pencil analogy so I would like to offer my analogy as well. Before seeing the video I felt like Agile is basically like most people's approach to life. You have set goals, but as things change along the way, you change what you want & so forth. A Waterfall approach might work for someone like a heir to a throne or a business. Their path is set, so they can move ahead with a rigid plan.

I ran across this analogy. You are a sailing ship, trying to get from Southampton to Boston. You can determine you position from the sun and stars, the direction and strength of the winds and currents. You know where you are, the current conditions, and where you want to get to. Your have a good crew; they are well trained, and can adapt the ship and sails to the conditions should they change rapidly, or if something unexpected happens. You can't predict your journey time at the outset, but you can dynamically make better estimates as you go along, checking your position and adjusting. You don.t worry about the past You have a strategy, good tactical doctrine, and no need of an operation plan.

Agile is demonstrated in full in the game of soccer. the team can shoot the ball overtime they have it straight at kickoff towards the opposing goal, with an AIM to score a goal. they can decide to play to score with small increments by kicking the ball around and making progress down the field to the opposing half, breaking their defence and scoring a goal. they coach can course correct on strategies, make changes by substituting players, until the game is over. this is my analogy of AGILE that i think may easily resonate with soccer loving fans in the our field or profession.

256th comment. Perfect 2^8. Woo Hoo! Yes, agile is a response to uncertainty in design. It is sold as a method of certainty for management. Salaried employees (no overtime) work fixed, predictable calendar schedules (and therefore budgets) and produce predictable results. Mangers can put checkmarks in the schedule and budget checkboxes. Employees "commit" to finishing on time as the buy-in for doing the work. Copious amounts of overtime are expected before missing a schedule. A Product Owner oversees the process to make sure than business interests are primary. If work expands to fill all available time, then time can be shrunk to get any amount of work done. Theoretically. I suppose piece rate garment workers are the analogy. You get paid per piece no matter how much time it takes, handkerchief or wedding gown.

I like to use little wind-up racing cars. With the aid of two volunteers, both wind up their cars and aim to get them from point A to point B. The first person is instructed they can take as much time as they need to set up their car to make sure it goes in the right direction but they can not touch it once it's started moving. The other "driver" can move their car left or right but not move it forward or backward. Usually (with the aid of some knobbling of the first wind-up car), the first driver's car goes completely off course and misses point B while the other driver is able to course-correct to get their car to the finish line. The first car demonstrates a traditional all-up-front planning method like Waterfall. I use the second driver's method to demonstrate Inspection, Adaption and by asking the audience who saw the second driver "cheating" I can demonstrate Transparency. The 3 cornerstones of Scrum. Yes, I like Scrum but I've never learned Kanban!

@@Developmentthatpays can you cover other topics as well and explain in an innovative way lik this? - Topics such as customer success, Digital transformation, Cloud, etc.

To briefly show what the agile method is all about, we will use a simple example. Since we live in a country near the frontline (in Poland), we can use a comparison to military rockets. Let's assume that the waterfall method is an ordinary unguided rocket. Before we launch the rocket, we need to designate the target of the attack. We calculate flight trajectories and make appropriate corrections related to wind strength and air humidity. Once we launch the rocket, there's nothing we can do. If the target of the attack moves a few meters, the rocket will miss the target. If anti-aircraft missiles appear, the rocket will be knocked down because it is incapable of evading the attack. Now it's time for agile, in our example it's a cruise missile. Before launching the rocket, the operator sets its target. After launch, the missile begins to maneuver, avoiding enemy air defenses. The rocket sometimes flies in a completely different direction than the indicated target, then returns to the correct course. The operator constantly sees the enemy target in the direction of which our clever projectile is flying. It may turn out that during the flight of the missile, the operator will see another, more attractive target and will direct the already flying missile there.

We can be great or fail at things but we keep moving forward. Like Zen,we keep breathing. We breath life,we breath death and THATS the permernant that agile needs to have. Keep doing things. Just sit,learn - do things..have an enlightmend and then? Sit,learn and do things. The situation will change,the impediments will come but the experience will grow. "Just sit." - Nothing else. Out of this you will create velocity, you will create an environment,you will design everything you need. You will have agility without forcing it.

That is the hardest thing I think for people who are starting the journey. We hear about 'self-directed' and 'self-organized' teams all of the time. But, in my personal opinion, you need a good person to help the team understand the framework and what it means before they can be at that point of self-direction/organized. Now I'm not saying that you need to be directive yourself as a coach/mentor/scrum master to the point of telling people what to do, but you also cannot just come in, dump a bunch of stories and say "go for it" and expect them to be agile. You walk them through the process - some get it faster than others and you step back and let those help the others but are there to help them correct their form (going back to the karate metaphor). I thought I read about the four stages of learning and how it related to agile, but I can't find that article again.

Also, explain to them story points, and value points and how you’re going to prioritize the value points towards the beginning of the product so at any given time once the value delivered is lower the customer can send the product (launch), or you can redirect some resources off of this product and onto another, therefore, lowering the sprint cost to the customer.

My analogy is that Agile is like a pistol hitting the target more than once with small bullets (demos) until the centre is hit (or the target shatters) and Waterfall is a rocket launcher which MIGHT hit the target in 1 shot, but may also miss and blow up the back of the military base (it may however hit the target and waste less time). Not sure if its good, but please tell me! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
