Comic Agilé no. 5 - The 'why' of going agile (reshare) ‘Going agile’ will most likely increase the value-add of your organization, happiness of employees and engagement of customers, but it will not make you better at meeting the Iron Triangle of Project Management. Therefore, if your company is adopting agile practices and principles for improving your current waterfall approaches, educate your leaders on what agile really means, exactly what it will improve and what it will definitely not improve. #agile #irontriangle #comicagile

Comic Agilé no. 264 - The Ketchup Effect (reshare) Make it possible for Developers to actually collaborate, and then reduce WIP! #agile #ketchupeffect #comicagile

There is a little more than two weeks left before Bjarte Bogsnes comes to Copenhagen to enlighten us on #BeyondBudgeting. There are still a handful of seats left. Secure your spot here: https://lnkd.in/eaim4zRW

Comic Agilé no. 63 - Mob/Ensemble Programming (reshare) Mob/Ensemble Programming, or Software Teaming as Woody Zuill calls it, is about working collaboratively in groups of three or more developers to deliver software of high quality and/or to share knowledge between the developers in the team. One person, called the Driver, will be controlling the keyboard and mouse and doing the actual typing, while the others are Navigators and spend their time thinking, discussing, reviewing and reflecting. Frequently, the roles are interchanged, so everyone gets to type and think. In this day and age, during and after a pandemic, many teams are not physically together anymore. This, however, shouldn’t hold you from practicing Mob/Ensemble Programming. Even if all team members are together only remotely, it’s still possible to get the benefits of this practice by being in a collective call and sharing the screen, as long as you make sure to change the roles frequently. #agile #mobprogramming #ensembleprogramming #comicagile

Comic Agilé no. 102 - The Agile Project Manager (reshare) Having “Agile Project Managers" is a symptom of your organization holding on to waterfall ways even after your "agile transformation". Some people call this a Dual Operating System. Therefore, dive into why your organization has this role (e.g., because your agile setup is still surrounded by a stage-gate-based execution or funding model) and start identifying and removing this root-cause. Explain to Upper Management how you won’t harvest the real benefits of agility before transforming an end-to-end part of your organization (such as a customer-facing product or Value Stream), and start getting rid of these Agile Project Managers by removing the need for having them (i.e., governance and Dual Operating Systems). #agile #agileprojectmanager #projectmanagement #comicagile

Comic Agilé no. 312 - Appraisal Being selective is very human. #agile #comicagile #bestplacetowork #comicagile

Comic Agilé no. 147 - Sprint 0 (reshare) One-to-many Increments are delivered during a Sprint. Therefore, there’s nothing called Sprint 0 where the Scrum Team can ignore the rules of the game of Scrum and not deliver any Increment. If you need some time before beginning value delivery to create a vision, roadmap, Product Goals and initial discovery and build up of a rough Product Backlog, then feel free to do it, but just don’t call it a Sprint (or Scrum). Instead, try to create the mimimum Increment that you can actually make. Usually, the learning is much bigger when doing this than when just going "pre-work" for a whole Sprint. #agile #scrum #comicagile

Comic Agilé no. 205 - Grass vs. Glass (reshare) Like any other big change or initiative, if going agile is just a grassroot movement in your organization without the buy-in, support and sponsorship from Upper Management, it’ll eventually hit the glass ceiling and stop growing into something that can really make a difference for your organization. Therefore, an agile transformation should be driven both bottom-up and top-down; without the passion and drive of the teams (the grassroots), it’ll never happen, and without Upper Management in on it , it’ll never make a real difference (break the glass ceiling). And, when you do get the needed support from 'above', remember to take an agile approach to going agile, and slice your agile pilot so it can deliver end-to-end value, identify representative experiments that make the lessons learned from agile ways of working relevant for the rest of your organization. #agile #grassroot #classceiling #comicagile
