Aggressive Scrum to produce real value – Jeff Sutherland interview
Brent Barton has a good interview with Jeff Sutherland on a great topic. Watch! https://youtu.be/rT28dmremZc
Lean Agile Open – April 15, 2016.
[Ed. Note: This was written 4/16/2016. We have had many Open Space events since 2016.] We had a great event in Charlotte yesterday, and I hope you did not miss it. Self-organizing people did the best they could (which is actually a lot) to learn as much as they could with other smart people about Lean […]
Scrum makes work a Game.
You know, of course, that Scrum is named for the Scrum formation in rugby. Generally, Takeuchi and Nonaka were inspired by the ‘rugby’ they saw in several great companies and how they created new product innovation. Sutherland and Schwaber read that article in HBR titled “The New New Product Development Game.” That was a key […]
Poppendiecks: The tyranny of the plan
Here is a transcription of Mary Poppendieck’s talk. (The tyranny of the plan). You will find this insightful on many levels. You might find it more fun to see the video. Your choice.
Agile Manifesto – History…
As you know, the Agile Manifesto and the Agile Principles define agile, to many of us. These statements were written and agreed to in 2001. There has been some debate about them, but they provide some excellent principles to remember as you are doing agile. If your practice embodies these principles, then I think your […]
Why are we doing Agile?
We just had Southern Fried Agile in Charlotte. See SouthernFriedAgile.com I have 5 take-aways. For today, the first one. Why are we doing this? We are not doing Agile for Agile’s sake. We are doing it because we think it will help. And the most important people to help are…. well, first, everyone. Everyone at […]
Can we make a promise?
Well, can we? There are some who do ‘waterfall’ (well, to be fair, something very roughly like the waterfall that Dr. Royce defined in 1970), and some of them seem to believe that we know enough early on, and change will be small enough for the rest of the effort, that we can promise a […]
Is Scrum about spirit?
I hear people talk about Scrum quite a bit. And I talk about Scrum. Usually we are talking about the basics of Scrum, which sometimes seem so mundane. Get a Team, make them a real Team, do the SM role well, do the PO role well, have some better meetings, build some artifacts, etc, etc. […]
6 Myths of Product Development – Take 2
Months ago, I mentioned here a great article. It is the article titled: Six Myths of Product Development, by Stefan Thomke and Donald Reinertsen. From the Harvard Business Review. These are mostly lean product development ideas. Strongly recommended. Especially good for managers and executives. Here are the fallacies or myths it mentions in one list: […]
Deliver Faster
Why do we want to deliver fast, and then faster? Well, the first reason is…that’s what the customer wants. The customer is thirsty. They want a drink now. She does not want to wait for 3 months to get a major delivery of 200 water bottles. A drink now, please. The second reason: time to […]
