This is my favourite officially approved SAFe case study. https://lnkd.in/ehnxSAnV The reason I like this SAFe case study the best is … wait for it … because it does not do SAFe! That’s right this officially approved article on SAFe by a top SAFe expert, does not do SAFe! Its for the SAFe ‘Community Contributions’ series by Luke Hohmann, who is a ‘SAFe Fellow’, which SAFe describe as the “most prestigious distinction, recognizing individuals who have exhibited the highest level of thought leadership and transformational expertise for implementing the Scaled Agile Framework.” Impressive, most impressive. The reason its not a SAFe case study (despite what it says) is because it breaks at least one of the many SAFe rules that make SAFe … errr well … SAFe. But can you tell me which exact explicit SAFe rule it breaks? For even more learning you may wish to avoid two days in a scaling course and instead join my Certified LeSS Basics course for only a day. Link: https://lnkd.in/eQiYH9tg Whereby you can learn about scaling and descaling. Potentially twice the learning in half the time :P

How to optimize your Scrum events? What can you do better? What are common mistakes to avoid? Here are a few secrets you might not have known. Listen to the episode. I’m sure you’ll learn something new about sprint planning, review, retro, daily scrum and the sprint itself. I feel honored to be a guest on Temitope Awere ‘s Agile Matrix Podcast. I had lots of fun sharing my experiences. And Temitope humbly threw in his deep expertise in agility, too. I’m sure it helps you improve your Scrum practice as well. #scrum #scrummaster #podcast

🚨 We are asking too much of "certifications" 🚨 The PSM1 and PSM2 would total 32 hours of optional training and are both multiple-choice. We are asking too much of certification, and any attribution of job or role capability from them is a fallacy! The assessments from Scrumorg are designed as self-assessments of knowledge. They are study aids... not a validation of the skills of the person who has them. Here is what Scrumorg says: - PSM I holders have a consistent terminology and approach to Scrum; 656,075 people - PSM II holders have proven that they have an understanding of the principles and application of Scrum; 42,825 people (6.5%) - PSM III certificate holders have a deep understanding of the application and practices of Scrum and the Scrum Values in complex team and organizational situations; 1,177 (0.2%) Why have only 0.2% of those who have gone down the Scrumorg route progressed to PSM3?
