Super adaptive

The extremely fast and agile way of doing projects

Benefit: Sooner results, with less risk and less effort.


The total cycle of 4 steps takes approximately 1-1.5 hours.

Super adaptive is a light weight, common sense approach to business agility and innovation.

Step 1

AIM

Get the end-to-end team (does the work and should be able to ship) and stakeholders in a room.


Define: What is our dream? What do we want to achieve?

Prioritize: What should we try now first, as a very first version/first piece, for now? Focus on 1 thing.

Duration: 5-10 minutes

Step 2

TRY

Let the team build our first version/first piece in an extremely short cycle of 1 hour. End to end, with all necessary skills in the room.

Focus on 1 thing, build as real as possible, as small as doable in 1 hr. (Forget about the rest, for now :)) Stakeholders can leave.

Duration: 1 hr

Step 3

REFLECT

Stop. Demo the results to stakeholders, get feedback and look back, what was good, what needs to be improved?

Duration: 5 minutes

Step 4

REPEAT

Repeat the whole process from step 1, continue until you are satisfied. Typically, at the end of the day the work is done within 3-4 iterations.

Duration: 0 minutes

Case example: improving conversion

1 Aim

Bigger goal: We want to improve the conversion on our website

This coming hour: Let’s improve the check out and make it clearer and easier. Let’s remove all the clutter and provide 1 way out.

2 Try
Team with all skills builds what can be done in 1 hour

Quick sketch by the designer while everybody watches. Front-ender shares a screen and everybody thinks along so we can try things. When done, we test it, we fix it and prepare a demo.

3 Reflect
Demo and reflect

Get key stakeholders and demo

Get feedback

Team reflects what went well what to improve

4 Repeat
Back to step 1

There, check bigger goal

Prioritize options forward and choose the next piece to build.

Benefits

Sooner results

After 1-2 hours we already have first potentially shippable results: reality based results. After a day, mostly the work is done and ready to ship. You can now start generating traffic, users, turnover and earn the real effect of the work. This is often an equivalent of 2-4 weeks of work in other processes.


Safer

Based on a series of experiment after experiment in order to learn quickly, before we go bigger gradually


Reduce long meetings without effective results

Reduce big plans and paper work, that never come true and that are not effective

Reduce endless circles of emails going back and forward

Be more effective!
