TL; DR: Is a Scrum Certification a Sound Investment Advice? Do you need a Scrum certification to become good at what you do? Not really. It took me nine years after I started working in this industry to get my first certificate.

"Scrum is a lightweight framework that helps people, teams and organizations generate value through adaptive solutions for complex problems."1 Scrum Teams generate value by creating and delivering Done Increments.

Misconceptions about Refinement—the process of adding detail, order and size to individual Product Backlog items can be highly detrimental to a team's ability to deliver value to the business frequently. In this article, we will discuss some of the most common myths about Refinement in Scrum.

Am eigenen Leib hatte ich bereits erfahren, wie unvorhersehbar die Entwicklung von Software sein kann. Stundengenaue Vorhersagen, wie lange die Umsetzung einer User Story dauern wird, kann deshalb niemand geben. Davon wegzukommen, indem die Arbeit relativ geschätzt und die Größe als Anzahl von Story Points festgehalten wird, klang genial. Die Anzahl der Story Points, die innerhalb eines Sprints erledigt wurden, als Velocity zu bezeichnen und zu nutzen, um damit Prognosen für die zukünftige Umsetzungsgeschwindigkeit zu treffen, fand ich genauso vielversprechend.

Since I first started working with Scrum in 2005, I have wondered what would eventually come along to replace it. Scrum has now been around for over 25 years, so surely something else would emerge?

SAFe® war schon immer ein kontroverses Thema innerhalb der agilen Gemeinschaft. Deshalb habe ich bereits 2017 eine erste Umfrage zum Net Promoter Score® des Scaled Agile Framework SAFe ® durchgeführt. Das Ergebnis war damals -52.

Декілька років тому, ще перед пандемією, я мав нагоду відвідати конференцію, присвячену гнучким підходам до створення продуктів. Наприкінці події відбулася панельна дискусія зі спікерами, серед яких було немало відомих людей з європейської аджайл-спільноти.

In this vlog I share with you how to scale Scrum using the Nexus framework.

That is the very essence of Empiricism - that there exists no "correct" way of working on a complex situation. And even if it does exist, it is not possible to know it in advance. Hence the entire process should be a series of controlled experiments and data-driven decisions aiming towards the overarching goal.

The Scrum framework comes with its own guardrails and values, but it is worth taking a moment to consider the base upon which Scrum is founded by examining the principles and values of the Agile Manifesto.  The Agile Manifesto includes four values and 12 principles that describe a better way to approach complex work.  In this article, we will discuss each of the 12 principles and what they mean in the real world.

In Scrum geht es darum Wert zu generieren. Und die Product Ownerin ist verantwortlich für die Maximierung der Wertschöpfung. Dieser Blog beleuchtet die Fragen: Was ist Wert? & Wie kann man Wert maximieren.

The most perceptible activity that can take place in Scrum is the Sprint Review. The feedback-driven working session enables the demonstration of the functionality built during the Sprint to get feedback from the Stakeholders. In the following article, we will discuss the aspects of Sprint Review.

TL; DR: The SAFe ® NPS ® Score as a Scaling Framework Is -56 SAFe® has always been a controversial topic within the agile community.

Often enough one can stumble upon the article titled "X principles of doing something". It feels that the learning there is often incomplete as the opposite side of the spectrum is simply not there.

Scrum involves a radically different mindset that involves fully embracing Empiricism, or making decisions based upon what is known. Rather than creating project plans, teams rely upon Goals to measure success. The list of the most valuable things to do next is the Product Backlog, and it is the plan, but it is an ever changing plan that evolves as more is learned.

Leider ist das Wunschdenken und entspricht selten der Realität von UX-Professionals und Scrum Teams. UX-Experten, die mein Professional Scrum mit UX-Training besuchen, berichten, dass sie teilweise mit 3 Scrum Teams zusammenarbeiten. Würden sie an allen Scrum Events teilnehmen, dann bliebe keine Zeit mehr, um ihrer UX-Arbeit nachzukommen. Damit haben sie zweifellos recht.

Mit anderen Worten das Produkt ist schwer zu bedienen, unnötig kostspielig, schwer zu warten und kann nur langsam erweitert werden kann.

Forget all these Agile Maturity Scans which are often treated as management reports and too focussed on the mechanical side of "do these things and the maturity goes up". Change itself should be considered an empirical journey with no end state. It’s always on the move, so start with making your transformation brutally transparent.

A guide on how to act professionally by seeking out evidence to test what you believe to be true about Scrum, teams, and change

The 2020 Scrum Guide includes five values that are important to every successful implementation of Scrum.  These values are courage, commitment, focus, openness and respect. These values don’t get much attention, but the longer I practice Scrum and coach teams, the more important I find them.  This article will outline each value and provide examples of how they play out in the real world.

Scrum uses an iterative, incremental approach to deliver value to the business through the medium of the Sprint. The purpose of each Sprint is to deliver a Done, usable increment. It sounds straightforward, but it can be tricky to achieve. Here are the three steps to Done in Scrum.

Over the years, I kept getting questions about the differences between Product Manager and Product Owner. In this video I explain why the product manager is not necessarily the Product Owner and how we should view the Product Owner instead.

La mayoría de las organizaciones de hoy en día quieren hacer un presupuesto en Agile.  Básicamente porqué se enfocan en brindar calidad y obtener la satisfacción del cliente, y eso es lo que Agile proporciona ya de salida. Para lograr esto, el desafío radica en dejar de trabajar de maneras tradicional y empezar la andadura en metodologías de desarrollo ágiles.

ch stimme den Teilnehmern zu, dass sie einige Zeit erfolgreich sind, wenn sie nicht wie Amazon alle 11,7 Sekunden eine neue Version ihres Produkts bereitstellen. Jedoch weise ich sie auch darauf hin, dass sie bei dieser Argumentation einem Irrglauben erliegen: Nicht die Mitbewerber entscheiden über Erfolg und Misserfolg eines Unternehmens, sondern die Kunden! Wenn Unternehmen weiterhin erfolgreich am Markt bestehen wollen, sollten sie sich also nicht an ihren Mitbewerbern orientieren, sondern an ihren Kunden.

Spesso in formazione si discutono le differenze fra metodologia e framework. In questo articolo troverete la risposta alla domanda: "Perché Scrum non è una metodologia?"

Does whiskey really help with Sprint Goals? Well, maybe not, but it sure would have helped my nerves creating this simple video about them. The basic idea is that Sprint Goals come first, and they will help the team focus.

Can you be Agile with fixed-bid Projects? It can be a challenging leadership problem and problematic to resolve. However, there is no direct and clear answer to the query. For clearing the dilemma, I have to recall the elementary difference between a project mindset and a product mindset.

Scrum hat sich immer wieder als das beliebteste Framework für die Software-Entwicklung erwiesen. Angesichts der Tatsache, dass „software is eating the world“, ist ein erfahrener Scrum Master (m/w/d) heutzutage sehr gefragt. Diese Nachfrage führt dazu, dass Fachleute aus anderen Bereichen des Projektmanagements auf den Arbeitsmarkt für Scrum Master drängen, ggf.

There is often confusion in what happens in a Sprint with regards to the Increment and releasing. Short summary of this article: during a Sprint, one or more increments are produced. This happens when a Product Backlog Item meets the definition of "Done". At least once every Sprint, but it can happen more often. When a Product Backlog Item meets the definition of "Done" (and therefor becomes an increment), it can be released. Releasing can be done at any moment in time!

The Canvas plays the role of a guide for the Team Coaches. The coaches can follow the guidelines of the Canvas and partner with their teams and their stakeholders to maximise the required abilities to move forward successfully, achieving the shared goals.

Scrum has proven time and again to be the most popular framework for software development. Given that software is eating the world, a seasoned Scrum Master is nowadays in high demand. And that demand causes the market entry of new professionals from other project management branches, probably believing that reading one or two Scrum books will be sufficient. Which makes any Scrum Master interview a challenging task. A good starting point, though, is to ask a candidate to walk in the shoes of an imaginary opponent trying to make the Scrum Master fail by culturally accepted means.

Personnellement j'ai toujours aimé travailler avec des équipes d'une dizaines de personne au maximum, avec un parcours qui leur permet de comprendre Scrum et l'utiliser à son plein potentiel. Il faut du temps pour y arriver et quand on y arrive c'est un vrai plaisir de voir un groupe de personnes devenir une Scrum Team !
