Hi everyone! New on my blog, "Agile (is dead|sucks|is (🐂|)💩|is irresponsible|is a bad idea)". Another significant theme to emerge from from my April 1st AgileAI.ca experiment was an indication of the backlash against Agile itself and its use in the software industry. https://lnkd.in/enQJijB6

Day 1 at the Scrum Alliance Regional Scrum Gathering - Bangalore An incredible session by Karthik Rameshkumar from GitHub. His talk on "Supercharging Developer Productivity: A Scrum Master's Cheat Sheet to Agility in the Age of AI" was both insightful and empowering. Karthik delved into the transformative power of AI in enhancing developer productivity and provided actionable insights for Scrum Masters to navigate this new landscape. His practical tips and strategies are sure to help us all drive agility and efficiency within our teams. #ScrumAlliance #RegionalScrumGathering #Bengaluru #Agility #AI #DeveloperProductivity #ScrumMaster #TryScrum #GitHub #ContinuousLearning #WeBoldlyGo

Failed Agile Speedrun: * Do first Sprint where the Team can decide how to implement things * Do the first Review without briefing the Stakeholders * Stakeholder rants about the solution the team has implemented * Sentitive Dev is traumatized by this and rants internally * Devs refuse to work without concrete specifications Voilà, Agile has failed after only one Sprint! Brief the Stakeholders to respect the effort done in the review, even if they don't like the way it was done, and even if from their domain knowledge they know that it isn't usable like this. After that phase of the review, they can carefully mention reasons why more work needs to go into that feature, and give some insight from their domain. Think this woke snowflake strategy isn't effective nor efficient? In the long run it is. #agile #respect #trust #failedagile

Hi folks! Coming Monday, July 1st on my blog, "Agile (is dead|sucks|is (🐂|)💩|is irresponsible|is a bad idea)". Another significant theme to emerge from from my April 1st AgileAI.ca experiment was an indication of the backlash against Agile itself and its use in the software industry. Stay tuned!

Talk for Agile India 2025,Bengaluru I'm thrilled to share that I've proposed a 20 minute talk for Agile India 2025 on the topic "Organizational Structure as a Catalyst for Software Architecture Design in Embedded Systems" the session will explore how well-aligned organizational structure can drive efficiency, collaboration, and innovation in designing the Architecture.

Interesting discussions today at Agile Tampere and time flew really fast. Peter Palmér shared experiences from Scania. I also attended workshop with Terhi Aho and got ideas about micro experimentation. Ramya Sriram walked through ideas for finding flow. Marko Klemetti gave refreshing real demo on Devops that you don't usually see in conferences. The day ended with panel discussion about future of Agile and what comes the next. Framework discussions slow down but a good raise was that retrospectives will be usefull anyway if you want to develop - what ever the direction is. Sustainability and minimizing work done (and making only the essence) was also mentioned. What do you think is the next big thing?

#100DaysOfDataOps Inspired by the posts of David Knickerbocker I have decided to start my own 100 days of.... My initial DataOps journey is likely going to take that long. Today I was reminded of ScrumPLoP, the pattern language that lies beneath Scrum, as described by the Scrum Patterns group in the book "A Scrum Book: The Spirit of the Game" (https://lnkd.in/gbBP9Tzx). A definite must-read for everyone that has anything to do with Scrum. The pattern language describes patterns within a specific setting, as described by Christopher Alexander. Where Christopher describes the general view, the Scrum Patterns Group projects this onto software development. As I am now researching DataOps I wonder whether there exists a Pattern Language of data platforms. Would we be able to describe the ongoings of data within a business in a similar pattern language? Maybe this is already being done somewhere? Maybe my Pattern Language mentor, James Coplien, knows (this is, of course, a thinly veiled attempt to goad him into responding 😜). Or maybe someone else who reads this has thoughts on it. Do feel free to jot them down. #PatternLanguageOfData ? #DataOps
