Transcript

1. An Agile Civilization: The Iroquois
2. Organized Bottom-Up for 1,000 Years:! Family, Longhouse, Moiety, Tribe, Nation, Confederacy!
3. But most people don’t get to live on the Enterprise. So how do you make social decisions in the future?
4. The Iroquois didn’t have wealth … or poverty.! All social decisions were based on “Wampum”. ! Was Wampum money? Votes? Treaties? All three?!
5. “And they all lived SAFely ever after … “! Er … No. They didn’t.
6. There are still 120,000 Iroquois today. And there’s us.

11. Last time on Agile: The Next Generation …
12. Giant Squids conquered the world.
13. They used Impact Mapping & BPP to do it.
14. Tonight We Take It Back. The squids are smart. ! We need to evolve more smarts than them!
15. One tribe per epic (+ plus startups next release …)! Each squad has no more than six members.
16. A tribe needs 3 Wampum per member per release.! So to start everyone gets 3 Wampum.
17. 1. Each squad impact-maps its Epic.
18. 2. Lean coffee prioritization. Three dots each. ! (XSCALE use Royal Cod for this. SAFe uses WSJF.)
19. 3. Each squad ranks the “Whats” in its Impact Map. ! If there’s a tie, the tribe’s Product Owner breaks it.
20. 4. Collaborative review: give all your wampum to ! your most productive, most helpful tribe peers.
21. 5. Record wampum counts per tribe member! and rank all the tribe members.
22. 6. Each squad tells its top feature to the room.
23. 7. Each person spends all their wampum to reward! *OTHER* tribes than their own.
24. 8. Tribes with less than three wampum per person:! Lose your lowest rank members first. Condolences!
25. 9. Last release’s startups: have you earned enough wampum to form a tribe or join one? Announce it!
26. 10. Rich tribes can, if they wish, take on new members, if they’re willing. Or acquire startups …
27. Have we beaten the bloody calamari? ! No? Try another release?
28. So that’s what Picard’s crew were doing!
29. If time permits, impact-map A:TNG.
30. Share your photos! And Thank You for Tonight!
