Big agile "transformations" can make some interesting ideas and conversations, but they can also backfire. And they usually bite off more than they can chew, and suffer from "big up-front design gets it right" fallacy. As always, start small, learn, pivot. #agile #lean #digital

If the improvement you are working on doesn't affect the constraint of the system, then it is not going to have any effect, no matter how well you do it. Find the constraint and focus on that! Do you know what your constraint is? #TOC #systemsthinking #theoryofconstraints

Don't focus on whether something is "truly agile" or not - focus on whether it improves the organization and customer value! Sometimes that is agile, sometimes it is Lean or something else, sometimes it is waterfall! The point isn't to 'be agile" for the sake of it. #agile #lean

It's pretty tiring that people continuously think that every team has to choose between Kanban and Scrum, and that's the only decision they need to make. Scrum doesn't fit every context! Scrum is a starting point, it will not give you all the answers #scrum #kanban #leanthinking

Scrum teams don't commit to Sprint Backlog items - they only commit to the sprint goal! A big and common misconception in #scrum. #agile #softwaredevelopment

Agile doesn't mean Fast and Cheap! It means early and frequent. Agile isn't a productivity hack or cheat. It's a rethinking of how we approach and organise software development work. #agiledevelopment

The dreaded "three questions" is a pretty bad pattern to use for a Daily Scrum. - it contributes to the event becoming a status report - perpetuates a focus on individual work and reporting rather than teamwork - most information given is a duplicate of any VMB #dailyscrum

So if the "three questions" aren't good for a Daily Scrum, what are? - how can we increase our chances of meeting the sprint goal? - what is the biggest risk in the sprint and what can we do about it? - who is most in need of help right now and how can we help them? #scrum
