Organization Management and Tools Organizational logic Why, what and how of management How tools are developed General principles for management tools
WHY: Management Logic kristina@heakodanik.eeWillem P. A. van derTuuk Adriani & CeesTh. SmitSibinga
WHAT: ManagementFocuses Kristina@heakodanik.ee
HOW: Elements of Management • Management Involvement: how to coordinate the actions and reactions of individuals. • Goal Setting: what to achieve. • Learning and Development: what will and should happen, how can we improve. • Feedback and Coaching: how are we doing. • Ongoing Conversation: how is the implementation going by bringing together management, goals, learning and feedback.
HOW: Processes to Manage • Management: workflow and oversight. • Financial management and accounting, budgets, cash-flow, fund development. • Marketing: delivery of ideas, services, products. • People: staff, volunteers, board, partners. • Quality management and development. • IT management. • Communication. • Administration.
HOW: Principles and Tools for Management • Agile (12 principles, values) • Scrum (framework)
Simple Lifecycle: How tools are developed?General principles for management tools. • analysis • design • implementation • maintenance
Waterfall • Pre-analysis • Analysis • Design • Development • Implementation • Using
“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail” Benjamin Franklin
Waterfall: Verification and Validation “A test of a system to prove that it meets all its specified requirements at a particular stage of its development.” “An activity that ensures that an end product stakeholder’s true needs and expectations are met.” Is the solution doing what the customer wants?

Waterfall: Continuous Work • When the solutions is ready to use and customer has accepted it, still the development continues. • There can be still errors, environment changes, laws change, new requirements. • Need to log the change requests, do analysis, design and create new additions. A never-ending story!
Agility Agile software development: an umbrella term for a set of frameworks and practices based on the values and principles expressed in the Manifesto for Agile Software Development and the 12 Principles behind it. WhatisAgile? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9QbYZh1YXY)
The Agile Manifesto • Individuals and interactions over processes and tools • Working software over comprehensive documentation • Customer collaboration over contract negotiation • Responding to change over following a plan https://agilemanifesto.org/
? „Agile process will provide the most bang for the buck, but won't say exactly when that bang will be".
Scrum: WHY • Scrum is popular: makes people work efficiently, the productivity grows, management and customers are pleased. • Simple to understand, lot of trainings and it really works. • Can be used for complicated development projects where the uncertainty is very high. • Flexible framework, suitable for small and big projects.
Scrum: WHAT • Most used agile method: a flexible process framework used to manage product development and other knowledge work. • Best suited where a cross functional team is working in a product development setting where there is a non trivial amount of work that lends itself to being split into more than one 2 - 4 week iteration. • A methodology to support teams to organize work and gain the results. • Introduction to Scrum - 7 minutes video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TycLR0TqFA).
Scrum: Values • Commitment: Team members personally commit to achieving team goals • Courage: Team members do the right thing and work on tough problems. • Focus: Concentrate on the work identified for the sprint and the goals of the team. • Openness: Team members and stakeholders are open about all the work and the challenges the team encounters. • Respect: Team members respect each other to be capable and independent.
Scrum: Principles • Transparency: The team must work in an environment where everyone is aware of what issues other team members are running into. Teams surface issues within the organization, often ones that have been there for a long time, that get in the way of the team’s success. • Inspection: Frequent inspection points built into the framework to allow the team an opportunity to reflect on how the process is working. These inspection points include the Daily Scrum meeting and the Sprint Review Meeting. • Adaptation: The team constantly investigates how things are going and revises those items that do not seem to make sense.
ScrumRoles: The Product Owner • The product owner is a role team responsible for managing the product backlog in order to achieve the desired outcome that the team seeks to accomplish. • The product owner role exists in Scrum to address challenges that product development teams had with multiple, conflicting direction, or no direction at all with respect to what to build.
ScrumRoles: Scrum Master • The scrum master is the team role responsible for ensuring the team lives agile values and principles and follows the processes and practices that the team agreed they would use. • The name was initially intended to indicate someone who is an expert at Scrum and can therefore coach others. • The role does not generally have any actual authority. People filling this role have to lead from a position of influence, often taking a servant-leadership stance.
ScrumRoles: Team • The development team consists of the people who deliver the product increment inside a Sprint. • The main responsibility of the development team is to deliver the increment that delivers value every Sprint. • How the work is divided up to do that is left up to the team to determine based on the conditions at that time.
TODO - BUSY - DONE Scrum: Process • Customers’ requirements, product/service description, learning outcomes • Product backlog, user stories and tasks • Every task: • Plan (To Do) • Implement (Busy | In Progress) • Evaluate (according to requirements, learning outcomes, definition of done) and document (Done)
