Public Impediments – Charleston Oct 2014
October 15, 2014
Until you are perfect, you have impediments to fix.
Here are the ones identified quickly in the course in Charleston.
From an Agile point of view, I am not sure I would agree all are impediments.
- Team member looking for other work
- Lone wolf attitude with some team members
- Changing technology
- Lack of specific skills
- Uncontrollable outsiders’ influence
- Team churn
- No success criteria
- Poor communication
- Different areas/teams not working together
- Micro-management
- Unrealistic expectations
- Project uncertainty
- Lack of QA
- Lack of Development [people]
- Not enough teammates or do not have all skill sets needed
- No contact with end users
- Scope creep
- Scope changes
- Funding – money was cut
- Not understanding what the customer really wanted
- No direction or poor plan
- Unclear requirements
- Lack of formal or clear requirements
- Customer not trained properly in agile
- Intractable customer
Not sure I understand what each person meant by every one of these. But I feel strongly we start with a rough public list. And then we aggressively work on fixing the most important problem first.
Maybe this list helps your people identify a better list for your team.
