Did you hear them say: "Agile teams cannot keep deadlines"? It's a common misunderstanding of agile methods. In fact, agile methods are better at keeping deadlines than traditional methods! 👇 This article explains how to deliver on time with agile methods https://lnkd.in/ehnGycDU #agile #deadline

Kanban vs Scrum They are different for me. Of course, there are common things. But there are also strict differences. I have heard this opinion from my colleagues: "Look! The boards are the same! These are the same "methods". Digging deeper, I fell in love with Kanban with its diversity and opportunities for teams to experiment and create something of their own) Do you have any examples of setting up a unique Board in your teams?

Who has not played the Ball Point game yet? Despite its omnipresence and its simplicity, I love how much learning this game packs into a short amount of time! Getting teams started on fundamental Scrum and general agile concepts is fun and easy that way. Within a few minutes they not only learn, but really grasp important Scrum and agile concepts: 🎾 Scrum sprints with plannings and retrospectives 🎾 Estimating 🎾 Continuous improvement 🎾 Time-boxing 🎾 Sustainable pace Let alone enjoying team work, failure culture and fun! When have you last played the Ball Point Game with a team? #scrum #agile #games

I'm excited to initiate a discussion about Supervision coaching within the agile framework. It's important to clarify that Supervision is distinct from Intervision (Kollegiale Beratung); it focuses on coaching with a broader perspective encompassing Me, We, and Us. I greatly appreciated the opportunity to attend the EMCC Training led by Virginia Anderson, MBA, PCC, ORSCC, CAC, CPCC, which aimed at enhancing the Certified Agile Coaching curriculum. Agile has very little to do with methods and tools. I will explain during these days?

Scrum Master and Product Owner have emerged as job titles giving new relevance to agile project management certifications. So which 👩‍🎓 certifications exist and 🤔 how do they differ? Find out on the #TPG blog: https://bit.ly/4d465Ey   In this week’s article by Antje Lehmann-Benz, trainer at TPG The Project Group, we explain why Scrum certifications and other agile approaches and certificates make sense. We take a closer look at the Project Management Institute’s Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) and the Agile Practice Guide. Finally, we provide an overview of the following agile project management 📝 certifications as regards prerequisites, fees, validity and purpose:   ✔ PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) ✔ Certified Scrum Master (CSM) ✔ Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) ✔ Certified Scrum Practitioner (CSP) ✔ Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)   This will make it easier for you to judge which path would be most advisable for you or your employees.   #agile #ProjectManagementCertification #certification #scrum #PmiAcp #psmI #csp #SAFe #ProjectManagement

Oh, the often misunderstood story of velocity in agile 😫 👉 No, velocity of an agile team does not always go up! 👉 Yes, a drop in velocity can actually be a good sign! Read more about velocity in the Agile Compass: https://lnkd.in/ekzHibJQ #agile #extremeprogramming

"Story points are crap! Stakeholders want hours, days and dates!" Do you hear that sometimes when you propose estimating in story points or t-shirt sizes? Some managers misunderstand story point (SP) estimates as a simple kinda esoteric layer to disguise real person hour estimates. This often ends in them establishing a fixed "exchange rate" between SP and person hours. But that completely misses the point of story points and relative estimation! Yet, stakeholders are right to demand specific date ranges instead of abstract SP. They need something to plan with. And the bridge between abstract story points and specific date ranges is the concept of 👉 VELOCITY Understanding velocity lets agile teams make pretty precise predictions of when stakeholders can expect to get certain features. I explain the concept and quirks of velocity in this article in the Agile Compass: https://lnkd.in/ekzHibJQ #agile #velocity #productmanagement

Here are the slides of Matthias Eschhold and me of our talk about Domain-Driven Design and Scaling Agile Setups at summit – community learning experiences Scaling Agile Summit. Matthias' powerful message: If you don't include your Architect early in your Refinement Process, that means before writing Features, then you will get a terrible Architecture.

The gifted Markus Borg of CodeScene again offers us a fascinating piece of research. Have you ever been a Scrum Master or Agile Coach where organizational bias meant that all bugs were somehow always dumped on one or two developers, even in a cross-functional team? Have you thought about the downsides to this common anti-pattern, such as lack of knowledge-sharing & skill-building across the team? Or worse, have you ever been *that* developer? Altho' I'm still reading this paper, already I can see how Markus' new empirical study points us toward a better way. Even if it may not fit your context (now), it's useful to think about on the helpful automation front. https://lnkd.in/epkbFuEJ #engineeringexcellence #defects #bugreports #bugs #troublereports #bugassignment #developers #developerautomation #westrivetomakepeoplesworkeasier #continuousimprovement #automation #respectforpeople #developersupport #agile #agiledevelopment #tooling #engineeringmanagement

Are you doing Scrum? Did you ever check if you fulfill the preconditions to do so? Too often Scrum is applied in a way that sets it up for failure. I wrote about the most common preconditions teams miss in the Agile Compass: https://lnkd.in/edqhtd42 #scrum #agile #team

Do your daily stand-ups feel like a waste of time? You‘re not alone. So what can you do? One option would be to stop doing daily stand-ups 🤔, but that doesn‘t fix the real problem. The smarter move: Improve your daily stand-ups by: 👉 understanding what they are REALLY for 👉 actually getting value out of the daily stand-up 👉 have it reduce meetings overall (yes, reduce!) Daily stand-ups, especially the daily scrums in Scrum, are so often misunderstood and done poorly. I wrote how to make it better in the Agile Compass: https://lnkd.in/eSMuPECa #agile #scrum #dailystandup
