@allenholub waterfall is “give me a big pile of money, and here’s what you might get for it one day” whereas agile is “give me a little money, ill give you something, and while you like how its going, keep giving me more”. The craziest thing is the perception that agile requires more trust

@allenholub When the authority and the responsibility to take decisions are far from where the work happen, estimates are also used as a (poor) proxy for knowledge and trust.

Estimation is a form of compensation for opaque processes. When you can't see progress, comparing estimates against actuals is the only way to tell you're "on track." Making your work visible is a better solution.

The reason enterprises keep getting disrupted by startups is not just speed of delivery, #agile, or customer-focus... It's that they see #prodmgmt and software as a cost center instead of a growth driver.

Here’s the actual “Spotify model”: Be agile. Build the org around relatedness, autonomy, mastery, purpose. Respect people & trust them to work in whatever way they see fit. Communicate strategic direction & let the teams make it real. It’s got nothing to do with squads.

If people at Toyota lost their bonus because of the "productivity loss" associated with pulling the Andon cord, they'd never pull it, and Toyota would never see the productivity improvements that are a side effect of improved process.

I really do wish that people would focus less on “motivating people” and more on removing the stuff that’s currently demotivating them.

I have never seen an “Agile maturity model” that did not lead to considerable dysfunction. Truly agile organizations develop their own context-specific ways of working. A “maturity” model assumes a “correct” way to do things and a consistent evolutionary path. 1/2

I get this feeling that I am a part of history. Even though it is a trying time but the feeling of the whole country united against a deadly virus is what that matters. Thank you Prime Minister #modi ji for this… instagram.com/p/B-CRqzkH5Ky/…

It is way easier to claim you saved money by hiring "off-shore" talent when you ignore cost of management, cost of delay, cost of handoffs, cost of defects, and cost of maintenance.

To prevent code delivery: add silos, batches, queues, approvals, gates. If you would like a software DELIVERY org, try to get rid of those.

@willsansbury @johncutlefish I worked remote for a year like this. Always on video between two iPads, one above my monitor and the other in the office on top of a rolling ipad stand. My team would wheel me around the office and into meetings.

All software is written to satisfy a human need or desire. Know who they are and seek to understand the need from their perspective. It will help immensely.

A key metric to demonstrate the effectiveness of #MobProgramming - “Question Queue Time” - how long do you wait for answers of questions to enable flow & delivery of true business value - @WoodyZuill at #MobProgramming2018 @AgileNewEngland
