OUR RECENT AGILE COACHING ENGAGEMENTS
CONFERENCE DISCOUNT TODAY
CHAPTER ONE - “CHAOS REPORT”
be the problem?
What seems to
In come the Japanese. Time is just after WW2.
We have good processes
in software development.
Right?
In come the Japanese. Time is just after WW2.
Also, we govern our
projects with proven stuff:
ISO, PMI, …
We know our way
around top technologies:
Java, .Net, JavaScript…
Yet sometimes…
Or most times
Or pretty much
All the time
But there is light…
RUN SMALLER PROJECTS
RUN AGILE PROJECTS
TAKEWAYS FROM “CHAOS REPORT”
CHAPTER TWO – “AGILE TODAY”
“AGILE” IS JUST AN UMBRELLA TERM FOR MANY METHODS
• The term “Agile” was oined in 2001. in Utah as a common denominator
• Defined by a set of principles and the Agile manifesto

JUST MAKE IT MORE AGILE
TOP 10 ANTI PATTERNS OF SCRUM USAGE
#1 NOT WILLING TO ADAPT YOUR PROCESS
SCRUM IS NOT A PROCESS. IT’S A FRAMEWORK FOR EMPIRICAL PROCESS CONTROL
IT’S A VEHICLE, NOT THE DESTINATION
#2 MAINTAING THE PRODUCTION
SCRUM IS TIMEBOXED. IT’S YOUR FIRST CLUE
ITERATIONS PROMOTE FOCUS FOR 1-4 WEEKS. CAN YOU WAIT THAT MUCH? USE KANBAN OR WATERFALL FOR THAT.
#3 JUST SHORT OF A TEAMTHERE’S 2 OF YOU. YOU ARE A COUPLE. GET A ROOM.
EVEN AT 3, YOU SHOULD COSINDER ALTERNATIVE GROUPING METHODS
#4 UNABLE TO HAVE STABLE TEAMS
FIRST OF ALL – I AM NOT BUYING THIS. STOP STARTING AND START FINISHING.
OVERBURDERN WILL HAPPEN, THE PRINCIPLES ARE NOT ACCEPTED
#5 PROJECT TOO SIMPLEBACKLOG IS NOT LARGE ENOUGH FOR AT LEAST 3 SPRINTS? REMEMBER: COMPLEX PRODUCTS
NOTHING TO LEARN ALONG THE WAY, JUST REPETITIVE WORK? USE KANBAN OR WATERFALL.
#6 HETEROGENOUS SKILL SETS
1 DEVELOPER, 1 DB GURU AND 1 SCIENTIST WALK WALK INTO A PLANNING POKER GAME.
PULL PRINCIPLE WILL NOT WORK. PARTS OF THE FRAMEWORK ARE STILL USABLE.
#7 DON’T WANT TO LEARN (SCRUM)
SCRUM IS NOT SIMPLE AND WILL NOT BRING RESULTS UNLESS YOU LEARN AND RE-LEARN IT.
COACHING; INTERNAL TRANSITION TEMS; READING A LOT. KEYS TO SUCCESS.
#8 DON’T BELIEVE IN ITORGANISATION WANTS THE BENEFITS, BUT DOESN’T LIKE THE PRINCIPLES.
PRACTICES WILL RARELY WORK WITHOUT ACCEPTING THE PRINCIPLES
#9 SELECTIVE SCRUMSCRUMBUT CITY. YOU ARE PROBABLY RUINING IT.
ARE YOU SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING?
#10 DON’T LIKE BIG CHANGESCRUM IS OPINIONATED ABOUT ROLE NAMES.
SCRUM CHANGES A LOT OF THINGS AT ONCE.
