Background Agile in
Ericsson R&D Rijen
› Started with one project in April 2007 (~30 employees)
› Rolled-out to the whole R&D organization in Rijen during 2008
(~250 employees)
› After downsize in April 2009:
– R&D in Rijen reduced with about 100 employees
– R&D started to work with low-cost external partners (Mexico, India, Poland,
White-Russia).
– To keep our commitments we introduced Agile at our partners also
including Agile courses
– Continuous evaluation of way of working (e.g. related to tools to support us)
– A few employees are certified Agile scrum owner

How to start scrum
› Choose a first pilot project.
› Bring everyone (including bussiness representatives) together for two
day. Prepare teams how to divide the roles
› 1st day training of practices
› 2nd day execute! Preplanning & planning game. Start 1st iteration
› Keep additional capacity to tackle obstacles
› Improve via retrospectives
› Use an Agile coach for daily issues and improvements on the fly
› Make it safe for the people
› Ensure that people are inspired

How to scale
› Scale of teams:
–
–
–
–
–
Repeat the steps that are used for the start (see previous slide)
Seed teams: spread experienced people over new teams
Get an experienced Agile Coach
Create a group of retrospective facilitators
Management ‘is the change’ & prioritizes to solve the team issues and
impediments
› Scaling end to end:
– Mobilize product management and sales
– Agree that roadmaps and sales contracting can/must be adapted over time

Commitment and involvement of
the business?
› General:
– Do not throw with agile terminology
– be transparent and quick
› Demand organization/product management
–
–
–
–
Work together from day one
Ask for involvement (use management push if talks don’t help)
Build upon transparency. This raises trust
Measure where possible Value, Speed & Satisfaction
› Other areas (supply, sales, 3pp, etc.)
– Create a way of working that is simular
– Eg. Instead of one big blob acceptance test at the end user, do a regular small
acceptenace test
Does the client change along?

3 things we wish were true
› The customer knows what he wants
› The developers know how to build it
› Nothing will change along the way
3 things we have to live with
› The customer discovers what he wants
› The developers discover how to build it
› Most things change along the way

De grenzen van de
organisatie (2/2)
Phase 1: Agile introductie (2007)
› Agile was puur een R&D aangelegenheid
› PO (en Project Management) waren de klant
› Nog veel te leren over de invulling van de verschillende rollen
› Agile was nieuw in de Ericsson organisatie
Phase 2: Spread the word (2009)
› R&D Nederland is als pionier binnen de Ericsson organisate de Agile
boodschap gaan uitdragen
› Product Management ging zich actief bezighouden met het vullen van de
product backlogs (de langere termijn visie van het product)
› Door Tacit introductie is de aansturing van development aanzienlijk gewijzigd
Phase 3: huidige situatie (2012)
› De grens ligt nu bij de SPM (Strategical Product Manager)
› Customer Units zijn nog niet Agile
› Steeds meer units binnen Ericsson werken nu Agile
Ericsson Internal | 2012-10-17 | Page 17
Hoe draag je een product
over van development
naar operations?
Wat zijn de stappen in ETM product development:
› SPM (requirement clarification)
› PO plus SA (architectuur studie en vertaling naar User
Stories)
› Scrum Team (implementeren User Stories, incl.
Functionele- en System Test)
› LSV Team (integratie en non-functionele testen op
hardware)
› Netwerk Integratie (installatie en testen bij de klant)

Agile SW Development
Tacit: Outsourcing / Working with Partners
By Vincent Greeven, Manager PMO
What is Tacit
knowledge
Tacit knowledge (as opposed to formal or explicit knowledge) is
knowledge that is difficult to transfer to another person by means
of writing it down or verbalizing it.
Source: wikipedia.com
Tacit knowledge is knowledge that is in the head of the worker and
is difficult to articulate in a process manual.
Since difficult to write down in “steps” or “rules” tacit knowledge is
difficult to outsource and difficult to manage as a supply
Source: Global Outsourcing of Knowledge-Based Services: Strategy and Relationships, Subroto Roy,
University of New Haven and K. Sivakumar, Lehigh University
Ericsson Internal | 2012-10-17 | Page 21
What is the Tacit
concept
› Maintain Tacit knowledge within Ericsson
› Outsource bulk work, characterized by explicit knowledge
(Explicit knowledge is everything that is documented by processes, architectures etc).
› By maintaining tacit knowledge within Ericsson we ensure
that:
– Partners are not given all knowledge that allows them to easily
become competitors
– Ericsson maintains knowledge so it can support its customers
– Ericsson maintains the customer intimacy
– It is at all times possible to replace partners
› Ericsson can focus its own people on core activities that
add most value
Ericsson Internal | 2012-10-17 | Page 22
Tacit goals
› Increase Ericsson (development) flexibility
› Lower development costs
› Market proximity
