How much documentation is enough? In ancient times, a banner had to be simple enough to be read by a man astride a galloping horse, and so let that principle guide you. #agile

Ironic how Jeff Bezos, who brought us the enabling constraint of the "2 Pizza Team", fails to recognize the value of timeboxing by wanting to live forever.

Afghanistan is every big lumbering outsourced project I've ever known. The real threat comes not from external forces, but from assumptions made and the organization's own gravity. Every time, management hubris is followed by catastrophe on a camel.

Labour mocked for asking staff to use ‘agile ceremonies’ in plan to axe 90 jobs: independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi… My 2c: Getting it right, and holding Scrum *events*, may improve credibility. Quote: “I mean, what the **** are ‘agile ceremonies’? Has a certain The Wicker Man energy to it?”

It’s time for IT departments to speak a new language: techradar.com/news/its-time-… My 2c: #Agile transformation is largely cultural...and most of that hinges on inculcating the soft skills that organizations will need for deep and pervasive enterprise change.

Leveraging the #Agile Manifesto for More #Sustainability: infoq.com/articles/agile… My 2c: Think of sustainability as a quality criterion -- something required for product increments to be "Done" & fully usable. Empower developers so they're in a position to commit to & achieve it.

Can Supply Chains Be Both Agile & Lean? sccgltd.com/featured-artic… My 2c: They often have to be. Agility addresses uncertainty: Sprint Goals are achievable mitigation targets. Yet risk exposure is itself unpredictable. A lean-agile team manages risk to both feature delivery and flow

Why You Should Refactor — Not Rewrite — Your Code: forbes.com/sites/forbeste… Meow: Continuous refactoring is cheap and helps you stay on top of #TechDebt. Having to undertake an expensive rewrite is just one consequence of failing to do so.

It's tempting for those who aren't Developers to attend a Daily Scrum, because jumping in on a 15 minute window is easy. The rest of the time you get to stay in your bubble & it means less change to your day job. Shoehorn collaboration into 15 minutes & you have an undaily Scrum.

A good Daily Scrum is 15 minutes out of a busy day of collaborating with the SM, PO and others, for those developing the Increment to stand aside from the buzz and say: "Where are we now in our progress to the Sprint Goal? Where would we hope to be this time tomorrow?" #agile

What is Moonshot thinking & how can I use it in my startup? eu-startups.com/2021/07/what-i… Meow: Think of a moonshot as a complex challenge with many uncertainties that must be brought under empirical process control. In Scrum, each Sprint is a successively more ambitious rocket launch.
