Agile Yorkshire is a monthly gathering of IT professionals from in and around Yorkshire. It has met every month since 2007 to discuss Agile software development methods and extreme programming, plus a host of other IT issues.

Agile Yorkshire's monthly gatherings provide a platform for local practitioners to network, learn from each other and listen to some of the IT industries highest profile speakers.

Agile project management introduces new ideas into the economic model of software product development and for many organisations this takes some time to absorb. 

Adam Mitchell talks about his experiences of working with organisations during this difficult period. 

Adam Mitchell - Hello, I'm Your Project Manager

In her presentation at Agile Yorkshire, public speaking coach Catherine O'Connor challenged the belief that professionals must be "experts" to give a valuable talk, encouraging them to step up as authentic "contributors" instead. She introduced a three-step framework for crafting a talk: finding a topic that sparks your genuine enthusiasm, tailoring the message so the audience deeply cares, and defining your personal angle. By sharing lived experiences through your own unique lens rather than claiming absolute authority, your talk becomes engaging, personal, and less vulnerable to "right or wrong" debates.

This presentation explores the importance of creating “thinking space” at a time when AI is designed to save time, yet many professionals feel increasingly overloaded.

Through three career experiences, the speaker shows what happens when thinking space collapses, how it can be protected and how it can be restored. The examples range from a rushed product launch that failed through poor stakeholder alignment, to successfully scaling a loyalty programme to 15 million customers, and helping a divided team complete a complex five-petabyte data migration.

The session encourages us to pause before rushing into tasks or relying on AI, continually ask what value we are creating and for whom, and remember that people remain at the heart of every successful team.

Matthew Turnbull reflects on his 18-month trajectory from QA to development and ultimately embracing the role of Scrum Master. He shares insights on his early tendency to micromanage, which led to an appreciation for the power of coaching and the necessity of fostering self-directed teams. Matthew discusses the challenges of aligning Agile practices with stakeholder expectations and his own struggles with imposter syndrome. He celebrates the fulfillment derived from witnessing team growth in responsibility and flexibility, advocating for a culture of relentless improvement and exploration within the Agile framework.

Matthew Turnbull's Scrum Master Journey

Everyone involved with software product development can tell you about a project they worked on that they knew was going no where. They could feel the stakeholders' ambivalence or sense the lack of engagement from potential customers. As the team start to feel their work may be wasted, unease starts to build into a sense of foreboding as everyone waits for the inevitable crash.  

So how does that happen? and how can it be avoided? Andy Butcher's pitch for "*The Shit Nightclub Anti-Pattern*" is both funny and insightful as well as providing a cringing memorable metaphor to watch out for.

A lack of trust within working groups and organisational teams can have disastrous consequences for many aspects of work that ultimately conspire to produce worse outcomes. Trust is a fluid ever changing thing that is much harder to get than loose. 

Laurence Wood ran an excellent, collaborative session to help discover how trust is formed, how it changes over time and what events or behaviours might reduce trust across teams and organisations.

If you think of top performing teams as groups people who deliver high quality solutions over and over again in a time frame and budget that makes sense within their business context without disputes or drama while still enjoying their work and having a fun time you may also wonder if this can every be practically achieved in real life. 

Kev McCabe here talks about some core protocols that can contribute to high functioning behaviour with a delivery team and help keep delivery rate high while still maintaining respect and humane relationships within any team or organisation.

Kev McCabe - The Core Protocols for Shared Vision

The NHS is a behemoth organisation by anyone's measure. Not only does it move medical mountains but requires IT solutions that support a scale comparable with any Silicon Valley unicorn. Historically many of these solutions have been procured through traditional contracts and relationships with the large outsourcing organisations we hear about in the media together with the vast sums of tax payers money that have been paid. 

These outsourced solutions we often mediocre in performance and in meeting business needs. This public sector culture of outsourcing often creates many problems through inflexible contracts, prescriptive ways of working and difficult to navigate hierarchies of responsibility. 

To move away from this means shouldering far more leadership responsibility than many contemporary public organisations have been used to. It takes management bravery or what some might call good old traditional leadership. Andrew Meyer and Gary Green talk about the change in operational style that has revolutionised recent NHS Digital IT delivery and in doing so begin to forge a new standard. 

 Andrew Meyer & Gary Green - Create a Dynamic & Innovative NHS

Diversity has been talked about a lot over the last few years and is prominent in the news at the moment, we also know the IT sector and particularly software product development organisations are especially guilty of having a lack of diversity and the resultant influence this brings to product development and general team makeup.

The topic is wide reaching, obfuscated by cultural norms and not quick to fix. 

John Le Drew explores some of the issues, points out some personal gotchas and runs an experiment with magicians safe and some confectionery.

Change is a big part of the lean / agile culture either in the form of continuous improvement or continually adapting to customer needs or changing market conditions. Because of this we're all agent of change at some level. 

However, anyone who has tried to influence the actions of people around them, from a leadership role or not, will appreciate that resistance to change is alive and well in us all. It may be attractive to regard this as a failing of others, but people do things for a reason and those reasons are often deeply seated and long standing; probably built on past experiences and painful lessons. 

The lessons of our past are not likely to be swept aside easily. Jon Fulton asks us to consider this and question if we, as agents of change can do better and be less frustrated by the reluctance of other to follow our guidance. How can we become more effective as a result.

James Scanlan shares a confessional talk about the tension between agile delivery and enterprise architecture (EA). Reflecting on his own journey, he discusses how agile and EA often seem at odds, with agile being fast and responsive, while EA is slow and strategic. Drawing parallels to a vast, complex system, James explains that EA operates on a much larger scale than agile teams, which can lead to clashes in priorities. He emphasizes the importance of feedback loops in agile, and suggests that both agile and EA need to communicate and collaborate better. The key takeaway is that understanding and collaboration between the two can lead to better outcomes, even if both approaches aren't perfect.

Tom Hudson talks about the challenges of understanding large numbers, using examples like how a million seconds is 11 days, and a billion seconds is 32 years. He discusses how numbers grow exponentially and how our brains struggle with them. Using a variety of examples, he explains how numbers in technology (like CPU speeds and latency) work on a similar scale, often leading us to misinterpret their significance. Tom emphasizes that while we perceive all numbers as "fast" or "slow," the difference between them, like from a CPU register to a mechanical hard drive, can be vast. He concludes that understanding these scales is crucial for building high-performance systems.

Bernard Jauregui discusses various "agile smells" he's identified while working on different agile projects, particularly in larger organizations. These "smells" indicate issues within agile processes, such as developers avoiding code commits due to fear of breaking the build, secretive code practices, premature releases to production, manual interventions in CI/CD pipelines, and testers causing delays in deployments. He suggests solutions like pair programming, simplifying branching strategies, promoting openness, investing in test automation, and implementing DevSecOps. Bernard concludes by offering a humorous call for more agile "smells" to be added to his growing list.

Andy Butcher shares his thoughts on the relationship between architecture and agile practices. He argues that architecture should be integrated into the agile process, with architects being involved throughout the software lifecycle, from design to operational support. He emphasizes that architects should collaborate with teams and get feedback regularly to avoid creating designs that aren't fit for purpose. Andy also highlights three key agile architecture anti-patterns: maintaining a separate architecture team, relying on formal architecture governance, and using outdated modeling tools like Enterprise Architect. He concludes by suggesting that architects should act as "sat-nav" for development teams, guiding them with technical decisions as the project evolves.

Gary McAdam discusses the concept of Minimum Viable Product (MVP), which he first encountered in The Lean Startup. He explains that MVP is about building the smallest version of a product to validate a hypothesis. However, Gary highlights a common misconception: that MVP often turns into a negotiation of features rather than an iterative, hypothesis-driven process. He warns against using MVP as a way to fit in more features or launching a single MVP that neglects continuous learning. Gary stresses the importance of feedback loops, being data-driven, and collecting actionable metrics. He concludes by emphasizing the need to build, measure, and learn quickly, using real feedback to improve products.

Sally Bridgewater - Agile ADHD and How Scrum saved my relationship

The art of identifying what not to do or “the art of maximising the amount of work not done” as the agile manifesto describes it, is one the key secrets agile teams use to get things out of the door regularly. 

Trying to see the future and engineer things that you think may be useful in the future is one of the key risks that creep into projects. Everyone is guilty of this in some way and it requires honesty and discipline to fight against it. 

Ian Thomas lifts the lid on what goes on and what to avoid.


Ian Thomas - Does Anyone Remember YAGNI?

Agile transformation is a stated goal for many larger organisations, whatever that actually means. But the world continues to turn and the business and technology landscape will always keep changing. 

This necessitates organisations to keep learning and adapting, a changes that is probably even harder to achieve in an institutionalised way. Karl Scotland has been talking about this challenge for many years now both at conferences around the world as well as his own website. 

He visited Agile Yorkshire to talk about some of his ideas and observations.

Karl Scotland - Becoming a Lean Enterprise with Strategy Deployment

Changing the inner workings of the public sector has proven pretty difficult within the IT sector demonstrated by the succession of speakers we have hosted here at Agile Yorkshire. 

Matt Barnaby talks here to explain this isn’t an issue experienced by the IT community exclusively, but frustration is not failure and change is possible.

Matt Barnaby - Changing the Change with Agile in Public Services

Developers generally love the freedom of building greenfield projects. Unencumbered by past decisions and conventions engineers are free to try new things and take blank sheet approach to overall design. 

However they come with their own problems and new applications take a lot of time and effort to settle down and become both stable and loved by users. Legacy projects are far more common and often come as a tangle of code with an overall structure that may be obfuscated and where the hundreds of subtle fixes and micro business rules that are coded present and working are not obvious on casual examination. 

However with patience and discipline Joe Stead explains how they can be even more rewarding to tame.
