From the Board and Management of NY SPIN
Last week we were deeply saddened to learn that Darren Drake was among the victims of the terrorist attack on the bicycle trail in New York City on Tuesday, October 31, 2017.
In
2013, Darren worked at Fiserv with our Board Chair, Richard Kuper. Darren had
some thoughts about Agile and how it helped the “Knowledge Worker”. Richard was
convinced that Darren could turn those thoughts into a great presentation and
eventually convinced Darren to create and give such a presentation to NY SPIN.
Darren gave that presentation: "Does Agile Help the Knowledge
Worker?" in November 2013. Darren answered emphatically that it does help
the knowledge worker, and he showed us how it did. His proud mother was in the
audience.
A
review of Darren’s talk will show you how enthusiastic he was about his work
and Agile's ability to make things better for workers, management, and
customers. That presentation can be viewed here:
When
he was killed on Tuesday, Darren was a project manager
at Moody's Analytics in lower Manhattan. While bicycling on a work break near
his office, Darren was run down by the terrorist, who drove a small rented
truck into cyclists and pedestrians to kill and maim. Here is a news article
that includes a brief interview with Darren's bereaved father and others close
to him:
Our
hearts go out to Darren's family, friends, and colleagues. Richard Kuper is
writing a condolence note on behalf of himself and NY SPIN to Darren's parents.
At
our next monthly meeting, we will request a moment of silence to remember
Darren and his enduring contribution to our programs.
May
he rest in peace.
Richard
Kuper, Bill Greenbaum, and Marc Fiedler

Synopsis
The Agile Performance Holarchy: A model for evaluating agile performance
Agile executives and leaders in both the public and
private sectors have been demanding a way to objectively evaluate and
understand agile performance in their organizations, and have been
yearning for a model for building agile capability across the
enterprise. Finally, there is a model to both evaluate agile
performance and build agile capability; The Agile Performance Holarchy
(APH), which draws from both the CMMI and a broad range of Agile
frameworks, is that model. The APH provides a fresh new approach to
evaluating agile performance and building Agile capability through a
series of interdependent performance circles and behavior holons, which
exist and thrive within a collection of self-team.
The APH is very different from previous models (like CMMI, ITIL, etc) in that it is “self-organizing,” and a peer-to-peer model that does not depend on the top-down command-and-control structure to be successful.

Learn new ways to evaluate agile performance
-
Learn how self-organization can bring a greater level of agile capability
-
Build agile capability with an objective model based on the CMMI, Agile Frameworks, and independent research

Synopsis
Managing Projects in a Hybrid Agile / Waterfall Environment
This interactive talk will cover the importance of understanding the goals and very valid concerns of the waterfall culture, focused on fiscal responsibility, governance of resources, cost management and a culture of ROI. So many Agilists view waterfall as backwards-thinking, a problem to be managed, etc. and they dismiss the very valid needs of a disciplined, mature organization.
The irony is that Agile does not propose doing away with the goals behind waterfall; it instead offers an empirical method for getting to the same place with greater accuracy, efficiency, and impact. Understanding this is the key to success in hybrid environments.
Please bring your questions and experiences in your organization and together we will explore how to meet Waterfall where it is, and offer Agile techniques as an alternative means to quantify, demonstrate, and hone in our ability to deliver projects on time, on budget, and achieve our business objectives in a disciplined manner. We will also discuss the cultural barriers to making this shift including the need to feel in control, to know, to hold each other accountable and to demonstrate success. I will share experiences and context from the numerous fortune 500 clients I have personally worked with who have integrated Agile and waterfall successfully.

Biography
David Hersey has been leading Agile teams and coaching enterprises in the adoption of Lean and Agile practices since the late 1990s. He has a long history of repeatable results building scalable Agile teams that are able to sustain throughput rates between 2 and 3 times that of comparable traditional teams.
First introduced to Agile principles during the mid-1990s by Kent Beck, Ward Cunningham, and other members of the Smalltalk developer community, David began consulting with clients nationwide using Agile methods to decrease project costs while increasing business performance at a project, department and enterprise level.
In 2002 he became CTO of Valtech Technologies. At Valtech, David developed and operated an innovative model for Agile outsourcing which enabled businesses to achieve the benefits of fixed-price outsourcing while retaining a high level of scope flexibility to the business. The result was a win-win: the business was able to create high-value solutions, which enabled them to grow revenues; Valtech was able to optimize its delivery model, increasing profits and passing on savings to the business. This contract model has since been adopted by other outsourcers and is becoming a standard model for Agile outsourcing within several large organizations.
In 2008, Mr. Hersey founded Integral Agile, Inc. with the mission of enabling businesses to focus their IT investment on activities that produce the highest business value. He currently focuses on coaching leaders at fortune 500 companies seeking to scale their agile teams to achieve the same visibility to capacity, business impact and delivery risk at the program and departmental level.
