Agenda

Maximize value through continuous delivery

Continuous delivery maximizes the impact of your product development on value creation by allowing changes to be released at any time. We will look at continuous, incremental and progressive delivery and discuss how they affect the flow of value. These principles enable continuous learning and growth and promote value maximization.

Overcoming continuous delivery challenges

Continuous delivery brings challenges such as technology, legacy systems, people and processes. We will cover theories such as the Theory of Constraints and Queuing Theory and how to manage congestion. A Just-In-Time (JIT) approach helps reduce bottlenecks and optimize workloads.

Forecasting and preparing for continuous delivery

Effective forecasting is critical for continuous delivery. We cover tools such as Monte Carlo simulations and burn-up charts and define “Ready” and “Done” for each development stage. Topics such as backlog management, prioritization and dealing with technical debt, dependencies and impediments are also discussed.

Adaptive planning and continuous delivery in practice

Adaptive planning is crucial in dynamic environments. We discuss collaborative planning, capacity management, and metrics like velocity to set realistic goals. Strategies for dealing with emerging dependencies and bottlenecks are presented. Finally, we introduce frameworks like Scrum and XP that support continuous and adaptive processes.

Conclusion and reflection

Finally, we will summarize the most important points of the training. You will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have and we will discuss how you can implement what you have learned in your company. Finally, we will have a short feedback session to see if everything went well and then we will say goodbye.

2. Agile Forecasting and Continuous Value Delivery: You will develop the ability to effectively use forecasting techniques within an agile framework to predict and plan future work while maintaining flexibility. This includes understanding how to use data and metrics to make informed decisions about project schedules and deliveries. By mastering these forecasting methods, you will be able to ensure your team is responsive to change and continuously delivering value.

3. Skills and tools for continuous value creation

This training equips you with the skills and tools necessary to prepare and execute deliveries that adhere to the principles of continuous value creation. You will learn how to organize and manage your work to ensure a steady flow of valuable deliveries. This includes mastery of tools and practices that support continuous integration and delivery, as well as techniques for maintaining high quality and reliability in your deliveries.

4. Supporting continuous value delivery

You'll explore the most popular methods and tools that support continuous value delivery, such as Kanban, Lean, and DevOps. Understanding when and how to use these approaches will enable you to choose the right strategies for your specific context. You'll learn to identify the strengths and limitations of each method so you can adapt your approach to maximize efficiency and effectiveness.

5. Detect and resolve delivery delays

In this section, you'll learn to identify common factors that slow down delivery processes and develop strategies to resolve these issues. This includes understanding bottlenecks, resource constraints, and process efficiencies. You'll gain insight into techniques to streamline workflows, improve team collaboration, and remove obstacles to ensure your deliveries are on time and efficient.

6. Delivery types and their applications

You will gain a deep understanding of different delivery types, including continuous delivery, continuous deployment, and on-demand release. This knowledge will enable you to select the most appropriate delivery approach for your projects and ensure you effectively meet your organization's goals and your users' expectations.

7. Effective backlog management

You'll learn best practices for managing backlogs in an agile environment.
