The Daily Scrum can be reduced to a status meeting where likely a Scrum Board or a Burn Down chart is referenced perhaps… but do these tools help with transparency?

Una transformación ágil es un proceso complejo, desafiante con muchos problemas que algunas veces se estanca debido a líderes que no maduran en la adopción del empirismo y hacen el cambio para resolver problemas complejos a través de la entrega de valor en ciclos cortos. Los líderes permiten el crecimiento o limitan el crecimiento de los equipos y la capacidad de ser ágiles en la organización. El evolucionar hacia un liderazgo que no use el control sino la autogestión para lograr resultados implica un cambio de mentalidad. Algunos factores o aspectos claves por considerar para convertirse en líderes ágiles serviciales pueden ser los siguientes:

Incremental delivery - or delivering value frequently - is a core concept of Scrum and yet it is so often misunderstood. Some might argue that it's wasteful to not make a few additional small changes or updates when you're already deep in the code. However, this perception is often rooted in a misconception. In reality, not using incremental delivery can be far more wasteful and inefficient.

It’d sure be nice if all the Stakeholders for a Scrum Team all agreed with the Product Owner on the direction for the product wouldn’t it? Or would it? Sounds kind of boring to us! Fortunately of unfortunately, Product Owners often have to navigate the challenges of working with Stakeholders who all hold different views on the direction of the Product. How do you manage this challenging situation? PST'S Jason Malmstadt, Robert Pieper, and I not only share some thoughts on this subject, but also a simple tool you can use with your Stakeholder crew!

Scrum is utilized in various industries, and as a result, leaders from diverse backgrounds are tasked with guiding Scrum Teams. While technical expertise can be an asset, it's not always a prerequisite for effective leadership in an Agile environment.

La transformation digitale, suite à la transformation numérique démarrée il y a plus de 20 ans, a bouleversé notre quotidien. Cette révolution a bien évidemment changé de dimension avec l'avènement de nouvelles plateformes digitales, le cloud, le big data, l'omnicanalité, l'évolution de l'expérience utilisateur, etc. L'accélération et l'évolution des modes de consommation presque exponentielles dans leur adoption, en particulier en période de Covid, a complètement transformé l'horizon. Et comme Satya Nadella l'envisageait déjà en 2015, toutes les entreprises sont maintenant concernées par ces problématiques. La transformation est certes technologique, mais n'oublions pas que ce sont des humains qui sont à l'œuvre et que ces changements influent énormément sur les manières de travailler.

Does your Scrum Team find itself locked into destructive conflicts where each team member is convinced that their way is the only way, the best way and that everybody else who dares to disagree is crazy? Are you interested in shifting the dynamic from an "us vs. them" adversarial conflict to an "us vs. the challenge" partnership? What would be like if your team could harness every conflict to reveal new possibilities the team can align around? In this video, I will share an approach using the 10 Thinking Hats Of Scrum that can help your Scrum Team elevate the context of your conversations by evaluating options in the human-centric context of the people the Scrum Team exists to serve.

​​​​​​​We often get caught up in the tools we use and feel like we need to get our money’s worth by using every feature. Instead of creating transparency, using every feature of a tool often degrades the transparency of the Product Backlog. Keeping things simple and using a method such as a naming convention might be all that you need. Consider what is simple, is easiest to manage, and gives you the opportunity to create the most transparency.

Effective Sprint Planning is pivotal in Scrum. It hinges on ensuring the entire team grasps the Product Backlog, having a lucid product goal, and fostering a genuine team spirit. Without these, the path to building great products becomes muddled.
