About 5 years ago<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0we launched a<\/span>n<\/span>\u00a0initiative to\u00a0<\/span>broaden our strategy and message to meet changing needs within the marketpl<\/span>ace and enable\u00a0<\/span>our customers on their\u00a0<\/span>journey<\/span>\u00a0to a Lean-Agile enterprise<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Just as we help many organizations transform<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>we\u00a0<\/span>embarked on our own\u00a0<\/span>Agile\u00a0<\/span>transformation as well.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Patrick Tickle,\u00a0<\/span>Chief Product Officer, Jon Terry<\/span>, Chief Evangelist for Lean-Agile Delivery, and Cameron\u00a0<\/span>van Orman, Chief Marketing Officer,\u00a0<\/span>all at Planview, discussed<\/span>\u00a0our transformation\u00a0<\/span>journey in our<\/span>\u00a0recent webinar<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Re-Wire: Planview\u2019s Internal Agile Transformation Story<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>now available<\/span>\u00a0on-demand<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Below are some of the great questions and answers we<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>were unable to\u00a0<\/span>dive into during the session, as well as a few questions that merited\u00a0<\/span>a little more detail.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\"How<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Question 1: How did your Agile transformation take place? Did you start small with pilots and then expand or was\u00a0<\/span><\/b>it\u00a0<\/span><\/b>a big bang approach?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Our transformation rolled out in phases<\/span>\u00a0over several years<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0While Patrick, Jon, and Cameron go into great depth\u00a0<\/span>o<\/span>n\u00a0<\/span>our transformation within the webinar, below is a synopsis of our\u00a0<\/span>journey<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Phase 0:\u00a0<\/strong>Our\u00a0<\/span>software\u00a0<\/span>d<\/span>evelopment<\/span>\u00a0teams\u00a0<\/span>ha<\/span>d<\/span>\u00a0been Agile for\u00a0<\/span>more than a decade<\/span>, but it wasn\u2019t until about 5 years ago that we decide<\/span>d<\/span>\u00a0to expand\u00a0<\/span>our\u00a0<\/span>corporate\u00a0<\/span>strategy to\u00a0<\/span>embrace new ways of working and support a broader approach to connecting strategy to delivery<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>W<\/span>e<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>saw<\/span>\u00a0the impact\u00a0<\/span>Agile delivery<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>ha<\/span>d<\/span>\u00a0on improving the quality of\u00a0<\/span>work<\/span>, time to market,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>customer<\/span>\u00a0satisfaction,<\/span>\u00a0and employee\u00a0<\/span>morale<\/span>. W<\/span>e wanted to expand the Agile goodness into the rest of the business.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Phase 1<\/strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>W<\/span>e\u00a0<\/span>started by identifying trends<\/span>\u00a0in the market<\/span>, saw opportunities to innovate\u00a0<\/span>and<\/span>\u00a0areas where we could expand our footprint<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>Our customers (traditional PPM organizations)\u00a0<\/span>were on a path to transform,\u00a0<\/span>so\u00a0<\/span>we knew<\/span>\u00a0Portfolio Management<\/span>\u00a0needed to<\/span>\u00a0encompass both Agile work and\u00a0<\/span>traditional\u00a0<\/span>project<\/span>\u00a0delivery<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>We chose to expand to meet this market need, acquiring<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Lean<\/span>K<\/span>it<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>B<\/span>ut s<\/span>imply a<\/span>cquiring Lea<\/span>n-<\/span>Agile software was not enough to make the<\/span>\u00a0internal<\/span>\u00a0impact we envisioned. While our product offerings\u00a0<\/span>shifted to enable\u00a0<\/span>Agile delivery<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>we realized\u00a0<\/span>our culture and workflows had to adapt as well<\/span>\u00a0to the changing world of work<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Phase 2:<\/strong>\u00a0It was during this\u00a0<\/span>stage that the company\u00a0<\/span>as a whole felt<\/span>\u00a0more of\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0pivot.<\/span>\u00a0We invested in\u00a0<\/span>training, specifically in\u00a0<\/span>L<\/span>eading<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>SAFe<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>certif<\/span>ied<\/span>\u00a0about 40% of our staff<\/span>\u00a0over the course of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0<\/span>year.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>As product shifted to continuous delivery, our Marketing organization struggled to deliver the right work at the right time,\u00a0<\/span>setting the stage<\/span>\u00a0for<\/span>\u00a0an Agile<\/span>\u00a0transformation<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To help stand up the new way of working in Marketing, we made strategic Agile-first hires and sprinkled\u00a0<\/span>those folks\u00a0<\/span>throughout the department.\u00a0<\/span>W<\/span>e<\/span>\u00a0hired an excellent Agile coach<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0who understood the type of work Marketing delivers<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>We revamped the way we thought about Value Streams, formed and reformed teams around\u00a0<\/span>planning and our Go<\/span>–<\/span>t<\/span>o<\/span>–<\/span>Market strategies<\/span>, which\u00a0<\/span>were<\/span>\u00a0developed in PI Planning<\/span>. Most importa<\/span>ntly, we listened and learned from our customers, both in the language they use and the best practices<\/span>\u00a0they<\/span>\u00a0adopted.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Phase 3<\/strong>:<\/strong> Our current state is one of continuous inspecting and\u00a0<\/span>adapt<\/span>ing<\/span>, as Agile transformations are never\u00a0<\/span>truly<\/span>\u00a0over.\u00a0<\/span>We are\u00a0<\/span>taking<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>PI Planning into other departments,\u00a0<\/span>breaking down silos within the organization,\u00a0<\/span>continuing to train our employees on Agile\u00a0<\/span>ways of working<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and improving our ability to pivot our plans.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Question\u00a0<\/span><\/b>2<\/span><\/b>: What was the largest challenge in getting marketing people to understand the concept of a value stream?\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

It wasn\u2019t the concept<\/span>\u00a0of a value stream that<\/span>\u00a0marketing struggled with, but rather what this methodology looked like in practice.\u00a0<\/span>Our biggest challenge was measurement.\u00a0<\/span>When<\/span>\u00a0you\u00a0<\/span>plan, fund, and deliver<\/span>\u00a0by departments, you get optimized into those silos. The trick was\u00a0<\/span>really about<\/span>\u00a0reorienting and re<\/span>–<\/span>wiring people to think about the business objective<\/span>\u00a0we\u2019re solving for<\/span>, not the departmental\u00a0<\/span>outputs<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When we were looking\u00a0<\/span>to where we wanted to\u00a0<\/span>expand Agile within Planview<\/span>, we had the option to expand Agile within Dev<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>I<\/span>nstead<\/span>\u00a0we<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>looked further down the funnel<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0where we saw the highest need. As Product\u00a0<\/span>began delivering more\u00a0<\/span>continuously<\/span>, it was hard for Marketing to keep up. We had difficulty prioritizing our work, which led to us sometimes delivering the wrong thing<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>and were<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0overwhelmed with too much work<\/span>. What we planned couldn\u2019t pivot to changing needs<\/span>, or what we planned was too big and by the time we delivered, it didn\u2019t matter \u2013 it missed the mark<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0Morale was low. No one wants to be a value bottleneck.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Part two of the\u00a0<\/span>Re<\/span>–<\/span>wire<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>was\u00a0<\/span>realizing<\/span>\u00a0that the\u00a0<\/span>Agile marketing\u00a0<\/span>team<\/span>\u00a0me<\/span>mbers<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>enjoy<\/span>ed<\/span>\u00a0planning and delivering in this way<\/span>, but our strong departmental leaders needed to be brought along too<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>We needed them to\u00a0<\/span>lead the\u00a0<\/span>cha<\/span>ng<\/span>e.<\/span>\u00a0When we first started to transform the department, the deeply engrained hierarchy and processes were slow to\u00a0<\/span>adjust<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0With an excellent Agile coach, some Agile-first additions, and the visible difference Agile\u00a0<\/span>w<\/span>ays of working\u00a0<\/span>had on our value\u00a0<\/span>delivery,<\/span>\u00a0the organization more fully embraced the change. With each Program Increment, we lean further into the transformation and realize more of the benefits.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Question\u00a0<\/span><\/b>3<\/span><\/b>: How have you handled alignment of PI cadence<\/span><\/b>s across the organization<\/span><\/b>?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

To a large extent, we\u2019re not trying to run\u00a0<\/span>planning\u00a0<\/span>like a conveyor belt from Product to Marketing. The goal isn\u2019t to say<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0\u201cX is in Dev this PI, and will be in Marketing in the next PI.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>We have\u00a0<\/span>the ability<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0with some of our products<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0to launch features darkly<\/span>. This<\/span>\u00a0allows the different product teams to finish features or enhancements,\u00a0<\/span>and then<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>M<\/span>arketing\u00a0<\/span>can<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>communicate when the timing is right.\u00a0<\/span>Sometimes, the timing is right just as the product is ready, but that\u2019s why we do PI Planning \u2013 to gain that alignment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Within PI Planning event<\/span>s<\/span>, context setting and the presence of each of the teams<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0along with<\/span>\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>participation of\u00a0<\/span>extended leaders<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>play<\/span>s significantly<\/span>\u00a0into this conversation<\/span>. Understanding where the business is going and what large effort items are coming down the pipeline (and who all is affected)\u00a0<\/span>help<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0give the teams a better understanding of their current and future capacity within the coming PIs.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Leaders are there to guide, steer or affirm the teams that their strategic adjustments are well aligned to the business needs and capacity requirements. The beauty of PI Planning is that it provides the opportunity to get everyone in a shared space (in person or virtually) to hash out\u00a0<\/span>all of<\/span>\u00a0these cross-team dependencies<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0with<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>both<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the roadmap<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and business objectives<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>in mind.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Question\u00a0<\/span><\/b>4<\/span><\/b>: How are you running virtual PI Planning sessions?\u00a0<\/span><\/b>For an organization that might be ready to start PI Planning for the first time<\/span><\/b>,<\/span><\/b>\u00a0what risks do you see in the current work from home\u00a0<\/span><\/b>environment?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0 Can virtual PI Planning be successful?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The short answer is YES<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0Remote PI Planning can be successful<\/span>. We recently conducted our\u00a0<\/span>first<\/span>\u00a0fully<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>virtual PI Planning<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>meeting with great success for a few reasons<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We have a<\/span>\u00a0superb<\/span>\u00a0Agile coach, who understands the kind of work we do as Go<\/span>–<\/span>t<\/span>o<\/span>–<\/span>Market teams<\/span>\u00a0and conducted the event\u00a0<\/span>with excellent balance.\u00a0<\/span>Don\u2019t underestimate the need for coaching. If you can make it happen, you will see the return.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. We were able to keep\u00a0<\/span>all<\/span>\u00a0our work across each of the teams (requests, cross-team work items, committed features and stretch goals) in a single virtual Kanban board in\u00a0<\/span>LeanKit<\/span>. In addition to\u00a0<\/span>LeanKit<\/span>, we limited the platforms we used to a communications platform and a virtual meeting platform.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. With\u00a0<\/span>all of<\/span>\u00a0the distractions available at home, we kicked off the event going through our working agreements, including limiting the tools we were using and\u00a0<\/span>committing to ignore as many distractions as we could.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Lastly, i<\/span>t wasn\u2019t our first rodeo<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>We<\/span>\u00a0had several PI Planning sessions under our belt, which he<\/span>lped anchor the remote session<\/span>\u00a0in the familiar: the ceremonies, the working agreements, the principles, and the objectives and outcomes<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In all likelihood<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>just like us, your first PI Planning session is going to be tough<\/span>. We didn<\/span>\u2019t have\u00a0<\/span>all of<\/span>\u00a0the right people in the\u00a0<\/span>r<\/span>oom,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>but we chose to just go for it and learn for the next one<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Holding PI Planning remotely brings its own challenges,\u00a0<\/span>but the more events you do, the easier it gets. T<\/span>he saying goes<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0\u201cThe best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second-best time is right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>We say jump in<\/span>. We\u2019re all working through it together.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    To that end, we have put together our own\u00a0<\/span>Essential Checklist: How to do Virtual PI Planning<\/span>\u00a0to help you run your Virtual PI Planning event successfully, even if it\u2019s your first.<\/span>\u00a0The checklist includes a sample agenda, along with\u00a0<\/span>things to remember to do pre-, during, and post-PI Planning.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Question\u00a0<\/span><\/b>5<\/span><\/b>:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Have<\/span><\/b>\u00a0you identified areas where\u00a0<\/span><\/b>S<\/span><\/b>crum could work,\u00a0<\/span><\/b>and<\/span><\/b>\u00a0other areas where\u00a0<\/span><\/b>S<\/span><\/b>crum<\/span><\/b>\u00a0is likely not to work?\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

    For business functions<\/span>\u00a0(marketing, sales, legal, HR, etc.)<\/span>, we\u2019ve found that pure Scrum is\u00a0<\/span>just not quite right<\/span>\u00a0because\u00a0<\/span>Scrum<\/span>\u00a0doesn’t<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>fit our varied types of work. For example, if\u00a0<\/span>we<\/span>\u2019<\/span>re supporting a conference or customer event, th<\/span>e<\/span>\u00a0work cannot be contained and completed within a 2-week sprint for Marketing.\u00a0<\/span>We can do ch<\/span>unks of work within that timeframe, but not all the pieces and parts.\u00a0<\/span>Event dates are milestones that can\u2019t be adapted neatly within Scrum practices. Instead, we use\u00a0<\/span>Scrumban<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>–\u00a0<\/span>many Scrum ceremonies<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0with the continuous flow of Kanban<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0to manage our varied types of wor<\/span>k<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Question\u00a0<\/span><\/b>6<\/span><\/b>:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Has traditional financial planning and budgeting supported or served as a roadblock to implementation of\u00a0<\/span><\/b>A<\/span><\/b>gile?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0How have you adapted it or worked around it?\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Our traditional funding model\u00a0<\/span>is\u00a0<\/span>definitely an<\/span>\u00a0impediment that we had to\u00a0<\/span>(<\/span>and continue t<\/span>o<\/span>)<\/span>\u00a0work around. Finance assigns<\/span>\u00a0and tracks our Marketing budget by department. Our PO\/invoicing system require<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0department codes<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0so\u00a0<\/span>Finance\u00a0<\/span>know<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0where to route for approval.\u00a0<\/span>F<\/span>inance looks to department leads to provide rest-of-year forecasts and reconcile actuals vs forecast every month.\u00a0 When\u00a0<\/span>Cameron<\/span>\u00a0initially stated that\u00a0<\/span>he<\/span>\u00a0was going to break out budget by GTM team, finance tried to stop it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Now we have a compromise where department heads still provide finance\u00a0<\/span>with\u00a0<\/span>their month<\/span>ly<\/span>\u00a0reconciliations, forecasts, accruals and ongoing approvals<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>while teams plan and execute their budgets. That requires department heads to coordinate with the GTM<\/span>\u00a0teams<\/span>. It was bumpy the\u00a0<\/span>first\u00a0<\/span>month<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0but<\/span>\u00a0it<\/span>\u00a0has improved.\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span>here are some inherent inefficiencies in that approach<\/span>, which<\/span>\u00a0invites inspection and adaption over time<\/span>, which we conti<\/span>nue to discuss and determine incremental ways to address<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Question\u00a0<\/span><\/b>7<\/span><\/b>: You mentioned\u00a0<\/span><\/b>the\u00a0<\/span><\/b>way of selling had to change<\/span><\/b>.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0H<\/span><\/b>ow do you manage customer feedback\/demands and how\u00a0<\/span><\/b>do\u00a0<\/span><\/b>you feed that into your product roadmap?\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Our customer feedback loops didn\u2019t change significantly<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Instead,\u00a0<\/span>they matured.\u00a0<\/span>For many years,\u00a0<\/span>w<\/span>e\u2019ve<\/span>\u00a0had a\u00a0<\/span>robust<\/span>\u00a0customer feedback\u00a0<\/span>in process through our\u00a0<\/span>Inner Circle Programs<\/span>, which includes both large and small customer<\/span>s<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>The programs run biweekly, almost in a sprint level cadence<\/span>\u00a0and are\u00a0<\/span>operated by our Product Managers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    As\u00a0<\/span>these programs grew over time, we started<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>us<\/span>ing<\/span>\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0crowdsourcing<\/span>\u00a0capabilities within\u00a0<\/span>Spigit<\/span>, our Innovation Management<\/a> solu<\/span>tion which we acquired\u00a0<\/span>in 2018<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0Last\u00a0<\/span>F<\/span>all<\/span>, we leverage<\/span>d<\/span>\u00a0the ideation<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>feature<\/span>\u00a0of\u00a0<\/span>Spigit<\/span>\u00a0to run a\u00a0<\/span>challenge<\/span>\u00a0with our Inner Circles<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>allowing them\u00a0<\/span>to vote on\u00a0<\/span>which\u00a0<\/span>feature enhancements were made on one of our products<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Conclusion:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Our\u00a0<\/span>Re<\/span>–<\/span>wire<\/span>\u00a0webinar<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>did not serve as the wrap of our transformation, but rather acted as a progress report<\/span>\u00a0to discuss why we chose to embark on this pa<\/span>th<\/span>, to show you where we came from, and\u00a0<\/span>that we plan to\u00a0<\/span>continue to inspect and adapt as we grow our transformation<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>We have a long road ahead of us, but we are grateful to be walking alongside our customers who\u00a0<\/span>continue to provide us with the best feedback for the products they use every day<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    We are committed to our Agile transformation<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0not just because of the improvements and benefits\u00a0<\/span>created\u00a0<\/span>over the last couple of years, but because we are determined to be a strategic partner\u00a0<\/span>with boots-on-the-ground experience for our customers as they pursue their own journey to become a Lean-Agile Enterprise.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
