Does GROW sound familiar? It is originally a model used in coaching and was developed by Sir John Whitmore in the 1980s. I’ve changed the focus to bring it to work delivery rather than self-improvement.

The GROWS™ Method is an empirical process, featuring short-feedback loops and iterative and incremental delivery of working software, using software engineering and organizational practices appropriate to the skill level of the team and organization. GROWS leverages the best that we've learned with current approaches and places them in an inclusive, sustainable, growth-centric environment, customized to fit the most important team of all—yours.
Mickael Ruau's insight:
Scrum and even waterfall can work well in the Obvious domain. More agile approaches are required for Complicated domains. A high level of skill and ability is needed for Complex domains.
The GROWS Method™ will help you and your teams navigate the treacherous waters of Complex domains, and help you avoid slipping into Chaos.

GROW model - WikipediaThere have been many claims to authorship of the GROW model as a way of achieving goals and solving problems. While no one person can be clearly identified as the originator, Graham Alexander, Alan Fine, and Sir John Whitmore all made significant contributions. Max Landsberg later described GROW in his book The Tao of Coaching.

I’ve introduced and used it to help a CEO shape an organisational redesign, with standard agile team iteration planning, and almost daily as a simple mental model I use to think things through. It works for individuals and for teams. It's called GROW.
G - what is the GOAL that we are trying to achieve? Why are we doing this at all? Who cares and why does it matter to them? Why does it matter to us that we deal with this?
R - what's our current REALITY? What is actually happening right now? What and who will help or hinder us in achieving the goal? What other commitments or other liabilities do we have that will take our time and attention? What degree of our capacity can we focus on this goal? What else is coming up that could impact us and get in the way of achieving the goal?
O - given what we now understand of the goal and our current reality, what OPTIONS present themselves? What are the various approaches we could take to achieving the goal and what are their respective merits and downsides?
W - finally having assessed the options in the context of our current reality and the goal, what WORK will we commit to doing to achieve the goal? Which option will we select and what's the plan to execute it to a successful achievement of the goal?
