!Book an Agile Mindset Training today! 🧘 🤯 Thank you Felix Rink for this great introduction to Flight Levels and Ulrike Strauss for organizing it for the Agile Women Alliance 😍 I have a ton of takeaways, but this picture from one of the slides was my favorite (from Klaus Leopold's book "Rethinking Agile") 👇 😂 Many companies invest in huge transformation projects including - "Agile mindset training" - Complete reorganization of all teams - Implementing agile practices mostly on team level What could possibly go wrong? - Top-down "implementation" of new ways of thinking - People overwhelmed with too much change at once - Local suboptimization Can you "train" an agile mindset in a workshop? How would that work? 🧘‍♀️ What can you do instead? - Visualize the Situation - Create Focus - Establish Agile Interactions - Measure your Progress - Improve  - Repeat 🔁 Check out the Flight Levels Academy for more insights 🛫 I am already excited for the FL2D workshop with Felix in February 🤩 — 🔔 Follow me for related content… and more tasty agile cookies 🍪 🤔 Facing some challenges that keep you up at night?

Did you know: Employees do not always go for the best solution? …and that‘s not because they‘d be stupid, lazy or mean, but it‘s because of company culture. How you can change this is what I describe in this article in the Agile Compass: https://lnkd.in/e-_jvin3 #agile #productivity #leadership

Here are the slides of Matthias Eschhold and me of our talk about Domain-Driven Design and Scaling Agile Setups at summit – community learning experiences Scaling Agile Summit. Matthias' powerful message: If you don't include your Architect early in your Refinement Process, that means before writing Features, then you will get a terrible Architecture.

Did you hear them say: "Agile teams cannot keep deadlines"? It's a common misunderstanding of agile methods. In fact, agile methods are better at keeping deadlines than traditional methods! 👇 This article explains how to deliver on time with agile methods https://lnkd.in/ehnGycDU #agile #deadline

What a fine thing! On June 3, 2024, I had the opportunity to take part in the "Heart of Agile Masterclass" with Alistair Cockburn at QualityMinds GmbH. Immediately, I felt the spirit and passion in the air that must have been present when the Agile Manifesto was written. Alistair is one of the co-authors of the Agile Manifesto and one of the pioneers of agile software development. Surprisingly, he also invited Jon Kern, another co-author of the Agile Manifesto, to the masterclass. "Heart of Agile"? This is a condensed approach that goes back to the core of agility, aiming to achieve excellent results. Collaborate - Deliver - Reflect - Improve are the four core aspects. - Collaborate: For information to flow, collaboration should occur as directly as possible between individuals and groups. Especially in a remote setting, this aspect becomes particularly noticeable. - Deliver: We make assumptions about customer needs, for example, and base decisions on them. But are we correct? To find out, we need to deliver quickly and gather feedback. "Release early, release often," and do so in small steps. This allows us to correct our course quickly and deliver value as early as possible. - Reflect: What have we learned? Let's regularly take a pause, reflect, and gather insights. - Improve: Instead of making big changes, let's take small steps towards improvement. In product development, for example, this results in a shorter "time-to-value" span. Practice was thoroughly emphasized in the masterclass, and I had a real aha moment. We were asked to choose a topic we would like to improve. I opted for my sleep routine and I thought about how I could improve it a tiny little bit. As a Scrum Master, I love an iterative approach, but at the same time, I found it incredibly challenging to formulate small improvement steps instead of wanting the big picture all at once. Of course, "Heart of Agile" is much more. For those who want to dive deeper, I highly recommend attending the masterclass during Alistair's Europe Tour in May-June 2024. Be agile ❤️!

Diana Larsen opens the Agile World 2024 in Munich with a great Keynote „Lead without blame“ - really inspiring! Everybody knows the famous „what happened?!“ meetings in which we point our fingers on somebody who is ‚responsible‘ for the unexpected outcome. Why don‘t we see failure as a learning and try to adapt our future plans #together based on this learning? We increased our level of information with this ‚failure‘ and are able to take better decisions now. Blaming doesn’t improve motivation, and it never will! Let‘s create a culture of leading through learning 💡 #agileworld #dianalarsen #leadwithoutblame #learningleadership
