"Story points are crap! Stakeholders want hours, days and dates!" Do you hear that sometimes when you propose estimating in story points or t-shirt sizes? Some managers misunderstand story point (SP) estimates as a simple kinda esoteric layer to disguise real person hour estimates. This often ends in them establishing a fixed "exchange rate" between SP and person hours. But that completely misses the point of story points and relative estimation! Yet, stakeholders are right to demand specific date ranges instead of abstract SP. They need something to plan with. And the bridge between abstract story points and specific date ranges is the concept of 👉 VELOCITY Understanding velocity lets agile teams make pretty precise predictions of when stakeholders can expect to get certain features. I explain the concept and quirks of velocity in this article in the Agile Compass: https://lnkd.in/ekzHibJQ #agile #velocity #productmanagement

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 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

Did you know: User Stories are NOT about writing 😲 Many people think of user stories as a different format in which to write requirements. But that totally misses the point. I wrote a little article about what User Stories are, really: https://lnkd.in/evUeBPZ5 #userstories #agile #productmanagement

!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?
