En teambaserad organisation Àr ett ekosystem av team. Dessa kort Àr tÀnkta att anvÀndas för att kartlÀgga nulÀget för respektive team i organisationen och sÀtta mÄl för vilka typer av team man skulle vilja ha och dÀrigenom identifiera vad som hÄller teamen tillbaka frÄn att ta sig dit.
Den hÀr modifierade versionen av team topologier bygger pÄ det fantastiska arbetet frÄn teamtopologies.com som Àr skapat utifrÄn ett DevOps-perspektiv. De tillÀgg och justeringar vi har gjort pÄ ursprungsmodellen syftar till att möjliggöra en tydligare produkt-ledd organisation dÀr agila ledningsteam utifrÄn Agile Management Areas Àr en viktig del och justering för kundcentrerade produktteam dÀr ofta Àven marknad och tech möts i gemensamma team, i stÀllet för enbart stream aligned vilket Àr mer vanligt pÄ en IT / Infrastrukturavdelning.
Conwayâs Law Ă€r ett begrepp som pekar pĂ„ att system ofta speglar organisationen som bygger dem, dvs för att justera de teamen man i nulĂ€get har som ofta Ă€r av typen komponent-team och röra sig mot ett ekosystem som bygger pĂ„ produktteam behöver man göra en omvĂ€nd Conwayâs Law design. DĂ„ utgĂ„r man frĂ„n vilka förmĂ„gor man skulle vilja att organisationen, och teamen har, kanske vill man att teamen har förmĂ„ga att ansvara för en optimal upplevelse direkt till slutanvĂ€ndare utan mellanhĂ€nder. Ăger produktutvecklings-processen end-to-end. Tar ansvar för det de bygger över tid och ser till att det skapar verksamhets och affĂ€rsnytta pĂ„ bĂ„de kort- och lĂ„ng sikt – det vill sĂ€ga vara ett Produktteam. Viktigt Ă€r att betona att man alltid behöver en mix av team i alla organisationer, enbart produkt-team Ă€r inte efterstrĂ€vansvĂ€rt, utan vanligt Ă€r att man har plattformsteam samt Ă€ven enabling team, vad man dock vill gĂ„ ifrĂ„n Ă€r komplicerat subsystem-team (komponentteam), samt ha team med bĂ„de produkt, plattform och enabling uppdrag.
UtifrÄn det mÄlet kan man sedan identifiera vilka typer av team man har i nulÀget, samt vilka typer av team man behöver för att steg för steg förÀndra den tekniska arkitekturen och förmÄgan i organisationen för att möjliggöra mer autonoma produktteam pÄ sikt.
Alla team behöver Ă€ven fĂ„ tydligt definierade mĂ„l som de kan arbeta mot. Dessa mĂ„l ser olika ut beroende pĂ„ vilket typ av team de Ă€r, men mĂ„let brukar var att ha uppdrag för teamen som spĂ€nner över ca 6 – 12 mĂ„nader som gör att de sjĂ€lva kan se om de bidrar med vĂ€rde och stöttar dom i att göra löpande prioriteringar.

Vi Ă€r som bekant nyfikna av naturen pĂ„ Dandy People. Efter sommaren 2021 var vi specifikt nyfikna pĂ„ att lĂ€ra oss mer om vilka utmaningar, problem och möjligheter som finns för medarbetare inom offentlig sektor – och sĂ„ klart om det kanske skulle vara sĂ„ att Agila arbetssĂ€tt och tankesĂ€tt skulle kunna vara möjliggörare.
DÀrför höll vi en designsprint en hel vecka i början av Augusti för att lÀra oss mer om tillitsbaserat ledarskap och ledning (styrning) och hur de som arbetar i offentlig sektor upplever sin situation.
Denna rapport bygger pÄ svar frÄn en enkÀt som lades ut pÄ LinkedIn i samband med designsprinten i vecka 32 och 33, 2021. EnkÀten har varit öppen för vem som helst att svara pÄ. I slutet av presentationen har vi samlat alla originalbilder frÄn enkÀten med alla svar. Vi har dock inte tagit med den frÄgan dÀr de svarande anger sin organisation och roll.

Det finns mycket stor förbÀttringspotential i att prioritera att hitta stödjande arbetssÀtt för tillitsbaserad ledning och ledarskap inom Svensk offentlig sektor i dag dÄ hela 66% anger att det aldrig, eller bara ibland Àr prioriterat pÄ deras arbetsplats.

There are many ways businesses can organize to grow and deliver value, but not all of them are equally effective. Melissa Perri, the author of The Build Trap, acknowledges four primary organizational patterns that take very different approaches to achieve growth and value delivery, we have added a fifth pattern that is very common too, the budget-led organization.
Budget-led organizations focus on long term planning and mitigate the risk of people working on the wrong thing by having everyone hand in their plans on an often yearly basis and having them reviewed and committed to. This is often a time consuming process, not only to plan, but also to follow up on how all parts of the organization are doing compared to the plan. Important metrics are often deviation from plan as well as obsession over if the work is maintenance or innovation (opex or capex). This type of internal focus gives the organization a locked focus. No matter if the target moves away, the structures are set up to make sure you stick to the obsolete plan. It does not allow new insights to impact what gets delivered and the organization cannot have customer focus nor compete on a fast moving market. Most times people in the organization spend most of their time trying to find ways to game the system to be able to have any success at all.
Sales-led organizations work closely with clients to define the product roadmap, taking all of their requests, and sometimes customizing things especially for them. The challenge, however, is when it comes to scaling. Organizations with 50 to 100 customers or more cannot build everything uniquely to match the needs of each customer unless they want to become a bespoke agency. Most products delivered by sales-led organizations suffer from debts in all possible ways; product, usability and tech.

Highlighted questions to reflect over in this poster
âOn the Coverâ is a great exercise to define the vision for a product, service, company… you name it!
Use it with your team to define your vision. If you create one each you can then share your thoughts with each other. It might just be valuable to see if you are aligned with eachother on the big picture, but you can also create one picture together and build on what you all shared and find the next level together.
If you are far away from each other on important topics, talk about why and what that means. It is valuable to get a shared vision to be able to know if we are doing the right things and to engage the team.

When working in Agile teams, we want the teams to do usability testing to get quick feedback. This is the most efficient way to make sure we are building the right thing. The Test Canvas can be used to speed up the feedback process and enable more people to learn how to do it and join the process.
This canvas is created based on UX professionals practices and guide anyone through the process in a safe way as well as minimize the time to define and conduct usability testing on a continuous basis – it is perfect for building and scaling the UX capability in many product teams.
Download the test canvas for free as a high-resolution PDF >
The purpose of usability testing is to observe users and how they solve common user tasks in a prototype or existing service to see if the solution is working well. We want them to talk out loud so we can understand how they think when they use it. We want to be able to ask them questions so we can better understand their mental models and experience. Since it is a qualitative test where we listen to and look at how users behave and how our service performed it is usually enough to test with 5-8 people. Once you realize nothing new “big” is coming from the tests you know you have reached the limit for what is needed now. But once you have fixed those issues you might test again on new people. You find more information about this in the canvas.
Usability testing can be done on anyone and any user type. A user interview on the other hand is something else, that is when we need to learn if the solution solves a specific problem. In that case, we need to validate that on the target group and perhaps someone who is like our users and a specific persona. Often we then need to interview or observe 20 people instead of only 5-8.
Meeting with customers and doing usability testing, in the beginning, can be intimidating. A good way to get started is by creating a safe-to-fail environment by practicing with people you know. Remember, if the team can test on real users once in a while and get valuable feedback, it is so much better than never getting to meet with any users and never getting any validation on what they do. It is also a lot better than only having experts outside of the team, or even worse outside of the organization.
February 2021 was an amazing month for the evolution of agility. As a celebration of the 20th birthday of the Agile Manifesto, there was a month-long, worldwide, free, virtual festival, started by Scott Seivwright. It was open to anyone to join in as a participant and speaker or to host any kind of virtual event, and it was totally self-managed and co-hosted by ambassadors across the world.
Together with my team at Dandy People, and particularly Patrik Ekstrand who worked full time on this, we supported people to set up talks and events and promote them to the audience. A really big thank you to all the great speakers and everyone who joined in making new friends, building relations, and shared learnings! We are already looking forward to the 2022 event đ
As the festival closed, it had over 700 sessions, with speakers ranging from first-timers to co-authors of the manifest. Here is the official Youtube channel for the Agile 20 Reflect festival > And below I have collected the sessions that we hosted and recorded. You also find them on the Dandy People Youtube channel >
The product development process is the end to end process we go through to make sure we build the right thing. As a Product Manager or Product Owner, your job is to lead this process, or parts of it, together with your team.
The process looks the same no matter if you are working in an environment or product with legacy systems or a totally new product. This could be a waterfall, step-by-step process if you are in a slow-paced environment where not much is changing over the time it takes to think, build and ship it, but most often we need it to be more of a fluid process where we can go through it in different ways, with different methods depending on the need. We often want to get from start to end as quickly as possible to not just get quick feedback from stakeholders but also from real users to make sure we build the right thing and solve real customer problems.
The keys to building the right thing lay both in defining the right problems in connection to your business goals and finding the solution to solve the problem. When we work Agile we need to get quick feedback along the way and adapt the solution as we go, and we do that by embedding feedback loops into the process. As you can see above the process the feedback you get in the different parts of the process should help you either move forward or go back to re-iterate your assumption or solution, this is what we call Lean UX and Lean Startup depending on what we are building.
In this chapter we will look at the different parts of the process and what methods can be used to be able to deliver in an Agile way, to get customer feedback, and to involve the stakeholders, team, and customer in a good way along the process.
A couple of things to reflect on:
– Where are you in the process now?
– Do you do work in all parts of the process?
– Do you, or the teams, often jump directly into planning?
– Is someone else doing part of the process, or is no one doing it?
– Do you and the team evaluate and optimize what you ship?

This is a workshop that I have used a couple of times to enable shared ideas about product development with development teams. It is originally called âPrune the Product tree”, and part of the book Innovation Games by Luke Hohmann.
Last Friday we used it with the Dandy People team to look at Dandy and what we might need to, and like to focus on and do next, and what fruits we think it might give us.
I love these kinds of workshops and formats that are visual and where we can use metaphors and get creative in our discovery and prioritization together. The full workshop was over 4 hours (and we didn’t finish).

This is the ninth posting in the Agile Leadership & Management Series
Leaders play an important role in Agile organizations, as they give direction to the organization, manage the structures around the Agile teams, act as sponsors, empower both teams as well as individuals and, perhaps most importantly, foster a culture of psychological safety.
In Agile organizations, a leader is responsible only in one area. Either PEOPLE, PRODUCT, TECHNOLOGY, or PROCESS. The Agile Coaches coach the people in all processes and areas to improve the value and flow continuously. This is the core of an Agile Leadership team, also for the executives.
The cross-functional Agile Leadership Team works together on moving the organization forward while working within each area supporting their people at operational and tactical as well as strategic level.
The Main Mission for the Agile Leadership Team is to improve structures and increase the outcome of the organization.

This is the seventh post in the November Agile Leadership and Management Series.
The Strategic Leadership Room visualizes what we are doing in the organization, what we think we should be doing, and how things are going. It is a great way to enable a shared understanding and make strategic decisions together on what is needed, and when it is needed.
The Agile Leadership Team needs to facilitate this and invite the right people to make well-informed decisions. When the executives are invited to see what is going on with updates from the teams on both impediments, speed of flow, quality, how the teams are doing – and how the customer experience is, how the delivery of value is going and how the investments are going, they can support new strategic decisions if needed.

– When should you use Agile procurement?
– What are the different steps in an Agile procurement?
– How do you Agilize the process?
– Are there any successful examples?
– What are the most common pitfalls when getting started?
– How do you get started?
Mia and Mattias are the founders of agilakontrakt.se and on this website they have for about 5 years collected good examples and created tutorials and guides in order to support the agilization of the procurement process in Sweden.
They have also set up several conferences in the Nordics on this topic and hosted a network that meets 4 times a year and shares experiences to grow new capabilities within the public and private market in Agile procurement. Anyone is free to join this network, you find it on the website.
Here they have gathered the existing content in English: https://agilakontrakt.se/category/in-english/

Inspelningen Àr frÄn DIs HR-dag den 30 september 2020 pÄ Grand Hotel i Stockholm och online.
HÀr delar Mia Kolmodin pÄ 15 minuter med sig hur Agila metoder kan anvÀndas av HR för stötta organisationer att transformera sitt eget arbetssÀtt, samt stötta organisationen i en Agil transformation för att att leverera rÀtt vÀrde vid rÀtt tidpunkt.

Ămnet för Ă„rets DI HR-konferens Ă€r mĂ€nniskor och kultur med mycket Agilt fokus.
För att hantera den ovÀntade situationen har mÄnga företag nu snabbt tvingats att digitalisera mÄnga av sina arbetssÀtt, och kanske Àven att till viss del agilisera sig.
Vi ser Ànnu tydligare Àn tidigare hur viktigt det Àr att inte hÄlla fast vid lÄnga detaljerade planer, utan att i stÀllet snabbt stÀlla om och möjliggöra för medarbetare och korsfunktionella team att fatta snabba beslut baserat pÄ nya insikter för att lösa komplexa problem pÄ bÀsta möjliga sÀtt.
HR spelar en mycket viktig roll för att möjliggöra en Agil transformation med snabbare leveranser, mer fokus pÄ löpande innovation, teamarbete och strategisk flexibilitet. Med en mer snabbrörlig teambaserad organisation gÀller det för HR att bland annat sluta arbeta med lÄngsamma Ärliga cykler, som HR-hjulet, och i stÀllet leverera förbÀttringar oftare, att prototypa och bygga in ett lÀrande i arbetssÀtten för att förbÀttra medarbetarupplevelsen och minska ledtider, att hitta nya samarbetsformer och arbeta korsfunktionellt att stÀlla om frÄn ett individbaserat synsÀtt till fokus pÄ teamet.
Nycklarna till en lyckad agil transformation, 20 min förelÀsning online
Mia gÄr med hjÀlp av inslag frÄn praktiska case igenom de största strukturella förÀndringarna som ledning och HR behöver göra för att skapa förutsÀttningar för en teambaserad och snabbrörlig organisation och möjliggöra en lyckad Agil transformation.
DI HR’s heldagskonferens 2020 direktsĂ€nds frĂ„n Grand Hotel i Stockholm.
PÄ grund av situationen med Corona sÄ livesÀnds konferensen och Mias förelÀsning digitalt. Som besökare kommer du ocksÄ att ha möjlighet att möta oss pÄ Dandy People digitalt, stÀlla frÄgor till Mia och vÄra andra Agila experter, samt ta del av vÄrt coaching och utbildningsmaterial kring Agil HR, ledarskap, Business Agility och Agil transformation.

Vad Àr VUCA egentligen och vad betyder Agilt för rekrytering? Det och mycket mer diskuterar vi i det senaste avsnittet av Agila HR-podden med Frida Mangen. Jag med som en av gÀsterna tillsammans med de andra bakom vÄr senaste poster Agile Recruiting in a Nutshell.
Vi hade mycket spĂ€nnande diskussioner tillsammans under sjĂ€lva framtagandet av postern, och sĂ„ Ă€ven hĂ€r i studion – och vi Ă€r inte alltid helt överens đ Jag delar med mig av lite av mina tankar kring hur man kan arbeta med rekrytering pĂ„ ett Agilt sĂ€tt och hur man kan rekrytera för en Agil organisation.
Lyssna hĂ€r pĂ„ avsnittet “Rekrytering i en VUCA-vĂ€rld” hĂ€r >
The recruiting and onboarding process is something that often has to be adapted when organizations “go Agile”. We were curious about what can be done to adapt the process for the people working with recruiting, what it would mean for the candidate, and how and what to look for when hiring for Agility. So we got together as a cross-functional team to look at this with our different perspectives, Frida Mangen, known from the popular pod Agila HR-podden, Thomas Eklöf, and Nils HallĂ©n, both experts on recruiting and authors of books like “Innovative Recruiting (in Swedish), Björn Sandberg Agile HR and transformation expert at Dandy, and myself, to see if we could create a poster as a first step. The work of creating the poster started in October 2019 and was paused a bit during COVID19. Now we are so happy to be able to share it with you after 8 months!

You can think of these principles as a lighthouse. If you are in sight of the light you are on the right path, but if you lose sight of it then you are probably off course.
Learning
Dare to experiment! Test new ideas, gather data, learn, and improve! Beware that you still need to treat your candidates equally to sustain a reliable process.
Psychological Safety
Human relations before processes and tools. Consider how you can create an environment where the candidate experiences psychological safety. This will help you to assess how the candidate behaves in a normal setting, otherwise, you risk just assess their behavior under stress.
Potential
Potential eat experience for breakfast! Potential is critical for your future success. Rather than looking for readiness, i.e. previous experience, look for the right traits, motivators, capabilities, and behaviors.
Creating Value
Adopt a dynamic mindset for recruiting. Evolve the way you work with recruitment by continuously improving yourself and your processes.
We all love how Modern Agile supports everyone thinking and acting in ways that support Agility, that is why we created a version of the Modern Agile by Joshua Kerievsky specifically for Agile recruiting.

Many organizations are in need of leveraging Agile across the organization to improve collaboration, shorten lead times and improve quality. One great way to do that is to use Agile online trainings and facilitate the learning journey in different ways and embedding learning in your every-day work.
Since we will only get the impact of doing trainings when people actually use their learnings, starting to act and think differently all online trainings should focusing on driving curiosity, shared learnings and action.
To support organizations in tactics on how to engage and activate people through online trainings we created this poster that shows some ideas on how you can enable continuous learning and growth.

SjÀlva webinaret startar 09:00
BAKGRUND & INNEHĂ
LL
I mĂ„nga organisationer Ă€r det svĂ„rt och stökigt att jobba med KPIer pĂ„ ett effektivt sĂ€tt. KĂ€nner du igen dig i att olika delar av organisationen har olika KPIer (Key Performance Indicators), som ofta mĂ€ter det som âser bra utâ i stĂ€llet för vad som egentligen Ă€r viktigt, som kanske drar Ă„t olika hĂ„ll, och ingen agerar pĂ„ vad de visar?
Om man har ambitionen att skapa en Agil organisation sÄ kan det hÀr vara en viktig systemförÀndring som behöver ske för att lÄsa upp organisationen ur dödlÀget som ofta finns och möjliggöra samarbete och iterativt arbete tvÀrs över hela organisationen. VÀlkommen pÄ en djupdykning in i mÀtbarhetens hÀrliga vÀrld. LÀr dig hur rÀtt KPIer kan hjÀlpa er att nÄ visionen genom att möjliggöra effektiva leveranser pÄ strategin.
JOAKIM LINDER
Joaquim Linder Àr ansvarig pÄ MittMedia för att tydliggöra strategier och göra dem tydliga och möjliga att agera pÄ för de Agila teamen. Hans passion för att leverera kund- och affÀrsnytta har lett honom till att lÀra sig allt om hypotesdriven utveckling, KPIer och experimenterande i stÀllet för att leverera lÀtta men ineffektiva lösningar. I den hÀr sessionen kommer Joaquim att dela med sig av lÀrdomar, tankesÀtt och metoder som du sjÀlv kan anvÀnda för att aligna organisationen, se sanningen och leverera det som skapar vÀrde tillsammans.

For the first time in modern history, most of us have to learn how to work remotely and collaborate online to continue with business as usual and not close down the business just because we close down the office. This is a huge experiment and we should look at it as an opportunity to adapt and learn how to handle the unexpected.
We need to explore how can we run our business just as before, or even better. How can we make people feel like we are sitting and working together with our peers and teammates and do what we usually do to get stuff done, focus, enjoy our workday, have fun and deliver together?
Don’t forget, to get started quickly, try something out and improve from that is way much better than making the perfect plan, and never get started. Just make it good enough for now, and safe enough to try.
Here are some tips on how to do just that based on learnings from the Dandy People-team.
When making big changes in your ways of working and context it is wise to shorten the feedback loops and focus on making smaller improvements more often. Support your teams in whatever they might need and give them access to tools and coaching in the beginning, but let it be up to them to decide HOW to do the work. If you prioritize feedback and improvements you minimize the risk of disturbing the pace and quality of work and you can more easily adjust to what is happening.

This is a way to use Cynefin in the team to support their planning and everyday work to foster a culture of innovation.

Make sure to have the Product Owner and everyone in the team in the room when the team pulls in new work to the sprint. First, ask them to name what it is, and talk about what the outcome would be – what should change? What are the details, ask them to describe it.
Then you can ask the team in what domain of complexity the works are, obvious, complicated or complex, and mark it on the card. Then depending on the domain ask them to agree on a story points, size or timebox and mark that. And then what capabilities would be needed to do the story.
When this is done ask the team to write down what needs to be done to deliver the story, these are your tasks – and the team can get started to collaborate and deliver innovation
