"...and all those moments will be lost in time,
like tears in rain.

Time to sprint.”

…but seriously, I HAVE managed to make Agile work through a little deception. We told management we were basing the setup on SAFe and Scrum, then turned around and told the (entirely unexperienced in Agile) teams to just start there and feel free to change whatever needed changing.

What we didn’t compromise on was daily connects that included the business stakeholders (for fast feedback and alignment) and the retros. We focused on teaming, collaboration and culture, keeping tools light and KPIs few.

Went from delivery averages of 3 months to 2-3 weeks. UAT dropped from 2 weeks to being checked off during the Demo. The users already knew what would be delivered and how it worked, as they had been co-creating with the technical team all along. This was in a conservative industry, maintaining systems on SAP ECC platform.

»User Stories Sometimes Do More Harm Than Good« scrum.org/resources/blog/user- #Agilist.in #Agile #Change #Lean #Kanban #Scrum

Scrum.orgUser Stories Sometimes Do More Harm Than GoodUser stories are one way to describe Product Backlog items, but too often they’re misused or forced into every situation. The original intent, from Extreme Programming, was about sparking collaboration through the 3 Cs: Card, Conversation, Confirmation, not filling in a rigid template. Scrum doesn’t prescribe a single format, and alternatives like Job Stories or Hypothesis-Driven Development can be more effective depending on the context. At the end of the day, the value comes from the conversation, not the wording.

I have yet to work on a team where #scrum actually works.

I've watched burndown charts go up and to the right as intervening requests piled in.
I've watched engineers argue longer about the ticket estimate than they actually spent working on the ticket.
I've watched people game the system repeatedly to make the metrics look good.
I've seen metrics look awful for months at a time and the execs don't care (even though execs mandated scrum).

Does this ever work?

Ich suche noch immer leicht verständliches Material zum Thema #SelbstorganisierteUnternehmen

In Richtung Frederic Laloux „Reinventing Organizations“

Und zwar explizit für Menschen, die bisher nur die "normale" Arbeitswelt kennen. Weder von #scrum noch #Agile was gehört haben noch sonstige Anknüpfungspunkte zu #NewWork

Möglichst auf deutsch. Und möglichst kein Managementsprech.

Hat da jemand was?

Edit: siehe meine Antwort vom 21.08.

»Product Owners - Are you using the right Personas?« scrum.org/resources/blog/produ #Agilist.in #Agile #Change #Lean #Kanban #Scrum

Scrum.orgProduct Owners - Are you using the right Personas?In order to create valuable and useful products, it is necessary for the Product Owner to understand the needs and expectations of the customer. However, it is not always possible to have direct access to the end user. And that could create some challenges. In scenarios, where the Product Owner does not have a direct access to the end customer, they will have to rely on other approaches to build an hypothesis of the needs and expectations of the customer. In this article I explore one such approach - Personas.

Too many Agile teams still get velocity wrong.

In my latest article, I unpack why story points & Fibonacci-based estimation are not “Agile busywork” but the foundation of predictable delivery. When used correctly, velocity isn’t vanity — it’s a trust-building tool for teams & customers alike.

If your team can’t master story points, how can they trust you to deliver high-value software?
