🚀 HOLD ON SCRUM-BLING! Ever feel like Scrum meetings are just a series of "I'm still working on it" remixes? 😂 Recently, a chat with a customer about their Scrum approach took me down memory lane to an article - I wrote on the subject. It's all about navigating the puzzle where the talk about the process often overshadows the actual doing. 🔄 Why does it seem like we're sprinting in place sometimes? Why do our daily stand-ups feel less like agile jumps and more like morning calls of duty? I've been there, and I bet you have too! So, I'm sharing my article to help us all get better with Scrum: https://lnkd.in/e7vjh--j https://lnkd.in/eTFmjxwj TL;DR: 1. Scrum isn't a magical bug fix for company culture. --> It's like expecting a new phone case to improve reception. 📱 2. Think of Scrum as a marathon, not a sprint. --> Joke included 😂 3. It's all about the team. --> There's no 'I' in Scrum, but there's definitely an 'um'... as in 'um, who forgot to update the task board again?' 🤔 4. Daily meetings should help us, not bore us. --> Check for muted microphones or snoring noises!💤 Together, we can tackle Scrum's challenges. 🛠️ #Scrum #Agile #ProjectManagement #SoftwareDevelopment #TeamWork

🚫 When Not to Choose Scrum? 🤔 Scrum is a powerful framework, but it’s not always the best fit for every situation. Here are a few scenarios where Scrum may not be ideal: 1️⃣ Stable, Predictable Requirements Scrum is designed for adaptive work with changing requirements. If a project has clear, stable requirements, Waterfall or traditional methods may be more efficient. 📜 2️⃣ No Dedicated Product Owner Scrum relies on a dedicated PO to manage the backlog and prioritize work. Without this role, it’s hard to implement Scrum effectively. 📋 3️⃣ Highly Specialized Teams Scrum emphasizes cross-functional teams. Kanban may be a better fit if your team members work only on specific tasks without much overlap, as it allows specialization without structured Sprints. 🔄 4️⃣ Teams Unwilling to Self-Organize Scrum teams are self-organizing and responsible for their work. If the team prefers managerial direction, a traditional approach might suit better. 🛠️ 5️⃣ Short-Term Projects with Tight Deadlines Scrum’s iterative nature might slow things down for short-term projects with tight deadlines. Project-based methods or a time-boxed Kanban could be more effective. ⏰ 6️⃣ Minimal Need for Continuous Improvement Scrum promotes continuous improvement. Scrum may not align with project goals if stakeholders are focused on immediate results without iterative feedback. 📈 🔑 Key takeaway: Scrum is flexible but not one-size-fits-all. Choosing the right framework means aligning with your project’s needs, team structure, and desired outcomes. ❓Have you encountered a project where Scrum wasn’t the right fit?

Daily Scrum, the essential ingredients. The Facilitation Canvas, by Anthony Boobier, is an excellent way to look at the essential ingredients of a successful Scrum Event. Here is an example of a Daily Scrum Canvas. Make one for your team and make it your own. Purpose: To ensure progress toward the single objective of the Sprint, the Sprint Goal People: Developers: Mary, Sven, Ncuti, Indira, Tom, Chao Optional Observers: Product Owner- Prakash, Scrum Master- Myself Inputs: The Sprint Backlog (Sprint Goal, PBIs to Build, Plan to Build), Definition of Done  Agenda- Walk the Board: - Start with the upper rightmost task in progress - Ask, "What do we need to do to get this to done today?" - Move right to left to In Progress for the first PBI in the Sprint Backlog, "What do we need to do to move this into progress today?"  - Move top to bottom, repeat. Environment (virtual): Miro Kanban Template (showing the Sprint Backlog), Zoom Conference Call (cameras on), Jira plugin for Miro (automatically updates based on the changes to Miro so no one has to do it manually). Outcomes: An updated plan for how the team will meet the Sprint Goal. Outputs: An updated Sprint Backlog reflecting any changes needed to meet the Sprint Goal. Pitfalls: Team is still trying to give me status. Architect interrupts and derails  When did you last put together an agenda for your Daily Scrum? Is this useful? Please like, comment, and share.
