So in other words, the project manager is the combination of the product manager and the scrum master

Your hypothesis for transformation captivated me 8 years ago and always will.

Didn't address the topic

I would prefer the T-shirt size approach. But I agree with you. Orgs tend to kill frameworks with ease!

Understanding the mindset of people is crucial to having them come with you on the transformation journey, assuring them that this is place for them is so important to making them feel safe about discussing experiments on ways of working and to make mistakes in that journey. I discovered LeadingAgile back in 2016, in my early days as a scrum master, and it's in my speed-dial list of sites for guidance on Agile.

Agile is cancer. Destroys every project it touches. Autistic morons love Agile.

love the description of risk ❤

It is remarkable that coaches, leaders, and managers continue to concentrate solely on team optimization regarding velocity, capacity management, the crafting of user stories, the utilization of Jira, and report generation, all the while neglecting the impact of cultural elements on the overall system.

Scrum alone is inadequate for organizing dependencies, and even when scaled, Scrum frameworks struggle to organize a system that delivers value across an entire company.

Leaders often delegate responsibilities to others. Orchestrating a system means that as a leader, you remain accountable until the desired results are achieved.

Hmmm ...

I am desperately looking for an Agile consultant position anywhere in the world. I have experience implementing agile transformations in companies like Infosys, TCS, Accenture and Wipro. I am from India. Please help, please !

We're you spying on my team's Daily😉. This tip makes team wake up to their sprint goal.

Thank you. Very enlightening conversation. Great.

Really useful tips, salute.

Agile is a failure

Please share the link to the Miro template.

Thank you for this video!

I can't believe how bad understanding someone with that amount of experience can have. I worked with some of the biggest companies in their industries, and scaled agile simply doesn't work. It will never work. It's not important how good velocity is, if the thing a company is building is a waste.

Promo*SM 🌸

LeadingAgile is practical

AI will be taking up software dev too

Drinking the cool aid. No thanks - not 5 years old for gods sake

Velocity and estimates in the context of similarly sized makes no sense whatsoever. The velocity, or at the speed at which a team grinds away the backlog is the raw data for certainty. And that is a statistical exercise. In the context of statistics you are not interested in similarly sized bodies of work. You are only considering the average size of them. In certain cases that is not needed either. Personally whenever I build something, I also build up a scenario where the customer uses it. Depending on how deep I go, I know the exact value of my work. And by exact, I mean dow to a $100 precision per year per 100 users. If i open up the SAFe tools we are using, none of the titles has anything to do with the customer value... Plenty of team performance metrics and a whole lot of planning reaching into almost 6 months ... this when our customers change their behaviour roughly once a month. Yeah .. SAFe does not work. And no, not even as a training wheel for agile.

Good presentation. :)

Absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much!!

What a productive conversation

1:31 The sprint goal was in the original 2010 scrum guide and page 48 of Agile Software Development with Scrum (2002, red yellow green blue) says it was added to give the team wiggle room for sprint success.

It's clear to my that processes are part of what makes a culture, and that Agile is not a process but a mind set that helps in the design of processes. What I think I understand a system is, is that it's a structure and/or a strategy that will help us use Agile in order to create effective processes for a rich and effective work culture. I other words: Find out what your vision is, and use the Agile values and principles to achieve that vision. Is my assessment correct? If not, have no mercy.

Agile is a mindset that helps teams to define processes. Adopting Agile as the work philosophy that it is, requires a change in the business culture.

I think it’s all a process but the “culture” Change is the end product of all the changes made.

Start with basics and make little changes to lead into bigger things

True

Being practical

Very well put

I love this concept and would love to hear more on this if possible!

love this conversation - thank you guys. The question about the many lenses - this feels like could be boil the ocean moment, although agree that they are all the same. So how to divide up the problem? Sounds fascinating to work with companies through these discussions!

Tailored systemic change is the way to go.

Allan - thanks for sharing this with me!

Just give that persons less tasks per sprint!

On the development side I agree that pair programming with various team members is a solution. Would also look at the way the team deploys their code and move from feature branching to Continuous integration where small changes are built tested reviewed and merged on a daily basis to ensure that issues are detected as early as possible. Would also rope in the tester on the team to pair with Felix to see if automation tests and AI tooling like GitHub co-pilot could assist in improving throughput while at the same time maintaining quality. On product side need to check if story maps clearly layout achievable releases while having a backlog that reflects ALL work (user stories, tech debt tickets, Architectural upgrades and defects) in small batches for quicker feedback. On team building retros should be facilitated to encourage collaboration but also make it possible to have uncomfortable conversations. 1:1 coaching session also vital to uncover personal problems, interpersonal hostility and skills journey map planning. Complex issue with many possible areas to investigate.

Can u put them on another team, which they are more apt for? Can they support by doing more unit testing or bug fixing. Pair programming is definitely a good idea!

LeadingAgile blew my mind, in a good way. I'm sick and tired of the culture talk without concrete plan/roadmap of real fixes for the broken system. With coaches getting angry and blaming C-level for "not getting it" to top it off. Hope you guys get more and more attention :)

Appreciate your candor, authenticity, and open sharing which was very beneficial to me in my journey! Thank you!

You're on your way to RUclips stardom.
