Are your Daily Scrums a waste of time? It might not be the Daily Scrums that’s at fault 😱 I wrote about it in the Agile Compass: https://lnkd.in/eSMuPECa #scrum #dailystandup #agile

What does it mean that “Scrum is a … framework…” (from the Scrum Guide). Let’s give this a closer look. From Cambridge Dictionary: Framework: “A supporting structure around which something can be built” “A system of rules, ideas, or beliefs that is used to plan or decide something” As a framework, Scrum provides us a rack to hook up practices, techniques, methods, etc. Yet also lets us easily replace these with better ones as we discover them. A framework does not provide you with these specific practices; it lets you choose what works in your context. The framework does not force you to use story points, velocity, burn charts, user stories, Jira, or whatever practices and tools you are currently using. These should be what works for your team in their context. The definition of “framework” also says that it is about building something. What can Scrum build? Scrum on itself… Nothing. Building is in the hands of the teams. Yet, Scrum brings us a focus working towards goals, and supports us planning towards these. It helps us build teams that become more and more effective in delivering value for the product’s users. Therefor teams can use Scrum to build (almost?) any complex product or service. So, what for are you using Scrum as a framework? What are you building? How does Scrum support you? How does it allow you to replace practices and techniques by better ones? These are core concepts I cover in my Professional Scrum courses. Interested in more? Watch out for upcoming posts or take contact for more clarifications. Don't want to miss any of these posts?

Are you doing Scrum? Did you ever check if you fulfill the preconditions to do so? Too often Scrum is applied in a way that sets it up for failure. I wrote about the most common preconditions teams miss in the Agile Compass: https://lnkd.in/edqhtd42 #scrum #agile #team

Just the other day, we were asked the million-dollar question that we get asked regularly: “Where do I start? And how do I start?”   Starting something is very different than learning about it, and for some, it could be scary, receive pushback, or just be overwhelming.    An Agile way of working doesn’t have to be hard. Take Scrum for instance.  Continue reading the blog here https://buff.ly/3UqiKdn #Agile #AgileInNonprofits #Scrum #GettingStartedWithScrum #FiveSteps

Day 9: Embracing Inspection in Scrum 🚀 In Scrum, Inspection isn’t just about checking boxes—it’s about empowering teams to improve continuously. 🛠️ By inspecting our work, we get to see what’s working, what’s not, and what can be done better. But here’s the catch: inspection is only valuable if it leads to action! 🔄 Let’s break down where inspection happens in Scrum: 1. Sprint Planning 🔍 – Do you have the right priorities? Is your goal clear? 2. Daily Scrum 🔄 – Are we on track? Any blockers? 3. Sprint Review 📝 – Does the increment meet the Definition of Done? How can we improve? Reflection for today: Are you actively using inspection to drive positive changes, or are you just going through the motions? 💡 What’s one thing you inspected and adapted this week?
