Being a #leader can be a challenging task, especially when you are working with a team that is #resistant to your leadership. Nonetheless , there are several strategies that you can employ to overcome this resistance and become an effective leader.
@allenholub Scrum is just one of the thousand practices of #Agile. #Scrum is agile but agile not scrum. Nonetheless,You can definitely be using scrum without being agile
Sprint
Backlog (both sorts)
DoD
Scrum Master
Product Owner
Daily Scrum
Sprint Review
None of these are important or have anything to do with Agile. They are not mentioned in the Agile Manifesto. You can be perfectly agile without them. Agile≠Scrum. Just sayin'. →
Pair programming is one of the most used #agile practices. But is it really agile and robust? What is your experience? I believe it may focus on lots of #learning and #high#quality but not always its saves #time and #cost
Can #ChatGPT help #Scrum do twice the work in half the time? Tried converting a complicated PHP script to Ruby. ChatGPT choked. Took the first part of it and then did a hour debugging session to get it to work. ChatGPT is good at taking the error output of the Ruby compiler and correcting the program. Needs to run faster and work on larger programs.
@jeffsutherland What struck me the most were the countless real-life examples and this sentence which I will never forget in my daily routine as a #ScrumMaster:
"All that matters is how fast something is delivered and how good it is"
Looking to revolutionize the way you work? Check out the book 'Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time' by @jeffsutherland. Just finished reading it and you can learn how to increase productivity and improve team collaboration with the game-changing #Scrum
@allenholub How would you keep a track of the work that was done, number of hours worked so you can maintain a project within a budget and scope without a backlog? What about new feature and product design? I really would like to know your thoughts as it is very controversially interesting
Backlogs are a symptom, not a tool. The very existence of a backlog tells you that you don't have the capacity to do the work, so you defer it. Replace the backlog w/ capacity. Improve processes. Don't work on non-value-add stuff. Minimize waste. Hire ppl. Do whatever it takes.
Good discussion of #happiness metric at #Scrum Inc. I showed them that real happiness can be measured by time in #Flow state which can be data driven by Garmin watch Body Battery - twice the energy with half the stress yields twice the work in half the time.
You don’t have to only code to be in tech. Thinking of a career switch?
There’s a whole huge #agile community, waiting for you☺️ Reach me out for more tips #ScrumMaster#ProductOwner#AgileCoach
New to #Scrum? From my experience, start by understanding the values that drive the framework: Focus, Courage, Commitment, Respect, and Openness. These values are the foundation for successful #agile practices and high-performing teams. What do you think?#ScrumMaster#AgileCoach
