No one wants to demo this work, because everyone thinks the demo will wander all over the place. Worse, no one wants to demo, because they can't see the value for any user. Use the Demo to Guide Sizing. Start with the demo in mind.

Demo on a regular cadence. Which means you can demo at will. Demo Early and Often. If you want to move your managers from “we need it all” thinking to “how little” thinking, demo every single time you release a slice. Record the demo.

Not the thinking and learning that go into the deliverables where you end up with something demo-able, if not usable.” However, they don't deliver value, have team-based planning, a review/demo, or a retrospective. We used internal demos because the cost to release was so high.

Because the “teams” couldn't deliver something small, they didn't demo very often. Over months, they stopped demoing anything. Because no one saw any demos, management couldn't trust the teams to deliver. Even if the feature wasn't totally done, please demo it.

Managers will want to see demos in these four weeks to inform the next four weeks of portfolio planning. Managers can explain which demos they expect to see, especially if the managers explain the experiments they want. Many managers feel pressure to deliver finished work. They plan and replan—and ask the teams to plan and replan. They plan to be able to predict the future.

I mentioned how you could integrate the demo work into an iteration if you create a column for the demo. Here’s a picture of how you might create a kanban with a Demo state, just before the Done column. Here’s how you walk this board: Start at the column just before Done, the Demo column. Ask the team, “What do we need to do to demo this card, to move it to Done?” This Demo column on your board clarifies that impediment.

Have a demo remote available for people to view. Stop viewing remote speaking as a disadvantage and of less value. Make a case that it’s more valuable. The speaking profession took a hit because most “professional speakers” are also lousy marketers (they give advice that they can’t follow themselves.). The client has fewer expenses, the logistics are easier. Be proactive: 1. Do not touch your fees and consider raising them for speaking (see below).

A demo once every two weeks. (I I prefer a demo every time you release a story, but that’s me. If you use kanban, you might integrate a demo into the board. The last column on the right is the Demo column before Done. No demo meetings necessary. Whenever I teach agile approaches, I discuss the possible meetings a team might choose. Some people turn to me in dismay. They start adding up all the meeting time and say, “That’s a lot of meetings.”

See Jerry’s speaker demo reel. Memorability is what every brand strives for. But it is not enough. In the digital world we live in today, clients/customers can damage any brand they feel has acted unethically. Every brand walks a Trust Tightrope. Your clients expect you to: Act ethically Operate consistently and transparently Stand for something. Consumers buy a product or service based on reputation but nearly 60% will stop buying it if they don’t trust it.

The first was not waiting for the end of an iteration to demo or release. They demo'd every week on Wednesday mornings and then they released after the demo. So when does it make sense to customize your agile approach to gain a strategic advantage?

As one passenger on the flight explained, That 30-second demo of how to put the mask on properly is such an insignificant portion of most of our lives. According to the Wall Street Journal , passengers on Southwest Airlines flight 1380, which suffered an engine failure and broken window, didn’t use their oxygen masks properly.

See Jerry’s speaker demo reel. Too often marketing gets disconnected from sales and operations and customer service. Is your marketing operating in a silo? You may not know if you’re running the company but there are simple questions you can ask folks in the marketing department to find out how far they are out of touch. Here are the ones I’ve found always work: You talk about our customer avatars.

A few years ago (2009) Simon Sinek wrote a book called Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action, He spoke about it in a TED talk which kind of went viral. In that talk he did a great job of publicizing the idea but never got around to describing how to determine your why or that of others.

See Jerry’s speaker demo reel. Serendipity is what happens when we make unexpected connections and create possibilities that never existed before. For elite marketers it is not a matter of chance. It consists of three components: Relevance Novelty Unexpectedness. Those can be combined in each and every piece of content and every behavior you exhibit in your business. The quality you need to strive for is to be both surprising and useful.

See Jerry’s speaker demo reel. Do something. Measure the results. You don’t have to be sure your marketing is going to work. But if you don’t take action you will never know. That idea will always just rattle around in your mind. It will stagnate and die never having seen the light of day. It will be resigned to the scrap heap having never been tested. It will die, stillborn. Action is better than inaction. We learn from our mistakes.

They may have been referred to you or you connected at a networking event then she or he simply called on you in your business. No matter how that initial meeting occurred you have now reached a point of mutual trust. Before you go putting money down or signing an order or otherwise making a purchase from your new friend, what do you know about the team of which they are part?

Ask for a regular cadence of demos, too. The more often you see a demo, the more often you can see the team succeed. I see too much micromanagement, even in supposedly agile organizations. Micromanagement tells people, “I don't trust you.”

So, let's assume the team spends a total of 4 hours planning, retrospecting, demoing, all that non-creation time out of the 40 hours the team works. (I I would add demoing in as value creation, but I'm not sure how accountants categorize feedback loops.

I like demos to know when if we're on track. Demos can also tell us if we're getting close to done. Demos can tell us if we've done enough. Does your team have to keep two sets of “books”? You have an agile roadmap to see where you're headed. You have a smallish backlog of the near/upcoming work. You're delivering on a frequent basis.

Once our customers saw demos, they wanted to change things. Back in Part 1 , I wrote about how stage-gate approaches were as agile as we could use at the time. We had one delivery, so our agility was about canceling the project if we couldn't finish it.
