Free-range chickens and other Agile habitats

Airing out the laundry

Ride the Pendulum

One-size-fits-all? Always?

Pigs and Chickens

! Just so we have common understanding…

The change-up pitch

“Un-cage the chickens” for inspect-and-adapt agility

Development Sequence for Small Groups

Norming -> ! Forming -> Storming -> Performing *

Cooped Chickens

! If you’re in the room, you are giving an update

Circling Hawks

! If too many hawks are circling, remove them –  (*temporarily)

Prairie Dogs? (Gnus with News?)

! Get updates from ‘deputized’ members

Planted Parrots

! Are all members listening, or just “waiting to talk”?

Sample Patterns and Tools

Work the board

Tell me a story

Go dark

Take a hike

Free-Range Chickens

! Share knowledge if you have something to contribute

Where’s the (Agile) love?

! A good Scrum Master can flex the daily stand-up to meet Team needs

Picking up strong signals

! Can your Team ceremonies be adjusted from time to time? –  Watch –  Listen –  Adapt –  Solve

! Avoid ‘Cargo Cult Science’

Free-range: Healthy growth, better “meat”
