The Theory of the Dead Horse in Scrum | by Sjoerd Nijland | Serious Scrum | Devops for Growth | Scoop.it

Commitment can lead to rigidity when the commitment is set to ‘the plan’ or ‘the destination’, instead of ‘the goal’.

On Uncertainty, Prediction, and Planning

On Uncertainty, Prediction, and Planning | Devops for Growth | Scoop.it
Key Takeaways

The software industry has a dismal track record when it comes to predicting and planning in the face of uncertainty.
There are a significant number of biases that prevent us from learning, including cognitive biases and compensation structures.
Statistical approaches to predictions can be successful if we expend the effort to create learning-based models such as Monte Carlo simulations.
Highly uncertain environments are best exploited using the iterative learning models inherent to Agile methods.


Extremely uncertain, non-deterministic environments are best exploited by the incremental learning model of hypothesis testing (Hypothesis-Driven Development) and learning to embrace the discomfort associated with uncertainty.

The original Lean "versus" Agile for knowledge work - or is it "and"?

The original Lean "versus" Agile for knowledge work - or is it "and"? | Devops for Growth | Scoop.it
"When will it be done?" is a damaging question when dealing with complexity & uncertainty. Leadership needs to be about blaming those who fail to help or who fail to ask for help, over blaming those who fail. According to Richard Hackman's research, over 80% of a team's performance is determined by structure, with <10% from coaching after team setup. Indeed, the counter-measures to the 5 dysfunctions of a team are remarkably similar to the Scrum values. Daily Huddles and War Rooms tend to get facilitated by senior leaders. Lean & Agile can provide alignment , and the level autonomy depends on the level of servant leadership. Taken to the extreme, command & control with blame game is a good strategy to bring about the 5 dysfunctions of a team. I put it to you that the ideal for dealing with complexity 21st century is aligned autonomy, self-managing teams, and Team of Teams.

Not what you think it is: Roles and Responsibilities Workshop | by Jean-Pierre Lambert | Jean-Pierre Lambert's blog

Not what you think it is: Roles and Responsibilities Workshop | by Jean-Pierre Lambert | Jean-Pierre Lambert's blog | Devops for Growth | Scoop.it
My point is: why doing a big workshop to talk about all the roles and responsibilities in the team when what we actually want is to talk about the new people joining the team?

Can’t we just focus on the new people joining the team and get it done quickly?

However, in order to run some kind of expedite version of the workshop that focuses on some people you need a welcoming environment… An environment where it’s OK to talk openly about issues. A psychologically safe environment.

Which brings us to the real value of the workshop…

One Way to Handle Mid Sprint Scope Changes in Scrum

One Way to Handle Mid Sprint Scope Changes in Scrum | Devops for Growth | Scoop.it
The Scrum Guide doesn't directly address how to incorporate scope changes into your Scrum implementation. As such, it is left up to the implementers to decide how to handle it. What I mean by scope changes is a material change to an existing Product Backlog Item(PBI), or an emergency last minute PBI. The strategy(chart) below…

Focus on Steps, not Leaps

Focus on Steps, not Leaps | Devops for Growth | Scoop.it


Scrum presents you with a lot of opportunities to focus on such small, tiny improvements:

Every Daily Scrum is an infinitesimal step : to re-commit to the Sprint Goal, filter out the noise and keep the Development Team focused on the high priority work.
It's a microscopic opportunity to re-plan and collaborate on " What's the most important thing we as a Development Team need to accomplish today"?
In the Sprint Retrospective take that tiny step to slowly expand the Scrum Team's capabilities in-terms of : Definition Of Done, the engineering quality practices, limiting the work in progress, team collaboration, trust, transparency, shared accountability of work and team spirit.
In the Sprint Review, take that minuscule step to tap into the stakeholders feedback, inspect the Done functionality and raise the transparency on the release progress and focus for the upcoming Sprint.
In the Sprint Planning, take that baby step to create a meaningful Sprint Goal, that unites the Scrum Team with a singular objective. You won't get to one synergistic Sprint Goal the first time. That's okay, keep at it. Improve in the successive Sprints.
Take that minimal step to spend time collaboratively as a Scrum Team to refine, review, re-order, discuss, decompose & delete the Product Backlog items during the Sprint, in every Sprint; consistently.

Don't miss these micro steps that Scrum offers. Latch on to them firmly. Commit to those small incremental improvements. Get them done in the Sprint.

These pave the way for the solid transformations like : valuable high quality Done Increments, maximizing the value delivery, better stakeholder engagement, responding to changing demand and enabling business agility!

Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams - Wikipedia

Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams

Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams is a 1987 book on the social side of software development, specifically managing project teams. It was written by software consultants Tom DeMarco and Tim Lister, from their experience in the world of software development. This book was revised in 2013.

Mickael Ruau's insight:

Peopleware is a popular book about software organization management. The first chapter of the book claims, "The major problems of our work are not so much technological as sociological in nature". The book approaches sociological or 'political' problems such as group chemistry and team jelling, "flow time" and quiet in the work environment, and the high cost of turnover. Other topics include the conflicts between individual work perspective and corporate ideology, corporate entropy, "teamicide" and workspace theory.

 

The authors presented most subjects as principles backed up by some concrete story or other information. As an example, the chapter "Spaghetti Dinner" presents a fictional example of a manager inviting a new team over for dinner, then having them buy and prepare the meal as a group, in order to produce a first team success. Other chapters use real-life stories or cite various studies to illustrate the principles being presented.

Does Agile Suck in some Cynefin domains? - Oliver Wyman Digital: Engineering | Devops for Growth | Scoop.it


If the governance is in the Chaotic domain, do not think that using Scrum or any other Agile technique will solve your problems; what you will end up with is Acephalic Agile, as described by Andy Wilson’s post. You must solve management problems with management, not methodology.

Perhaps we can summarize this in the following table:
Governance domain
Disorder/
Chaotic Complex Complicated Simple
Development

Dans son livre Adaptive Project Framework: Managing Complexity in the Face of Uncertainty, Robert Wysocki explique avoir observé qu’en ce début de 21e siècle, tout domaine confondu, environ 70% des projets nécessitaient une gestion de projet «adaptative» (tel qu’illustré dans la figure ci-bas).
Le paysage de la gestion de projet
Fig. 1 - Le paysage de la gestion de projet (R.Wysocki) (Traduction et adaptation par Claude Émond)

«Adaptative» est le mot qu’il utilise pour caractériser une approche «agile structurée» comme le Scrum, en opposition à une gestion de projet «extrême» ou l’agilité n’est plus structurée, mais plutôt improvisée, spontanée et réinventée constamment.

8 steps to ensuring Success by Being Agile beyond Scrum! | Hexaware | Devops for Growth | Scoop.it
Scrum is definitely the basic and starting framework. But to succeed with agile, it works well when applied effectively with other agility practices.

Product/ project team should make a multi-faced approach to be agile. They can start agile transformation by following Scrum and then slowly moving to agile maturity with inspection & adaption, adapting suitable agile practices and investing in right tools & technologies.
