Here’s a question I think about a lot when leading digital transformations and guiding agile teams. How should I think about team happiness? Why and how is team happiness important?

The goal was, and still is, to establish a shared understanding of the requirements with the agile development team without overly specifying how the story should be implemented. More mature agile. Product owners wrote stories in customer-centric language defining why, what, and for whom the story was being implemented.

We’ve been practicing agile for twenty years since the manifesto was published and transitioning to DevOps cultures for about ten of them. We’re trying to improve customer experiences, develop digital products, And IT Ops predates these best practices going way back to the days of mainframes in pre-web data centers.

Many agile and scrum teams want to be left alone so that they can do their work. The last thing they want is leaders looking over their shoulders and overseeing their to-do lists, even when they struggle to complete their sprint commitments.

Why are some organizations stuck with fr-agile development processes? Hint: It's not because you need to "scale" agile. Many organizations succeed in getting an A-team practicing agile and then look to "scale" their best practices to the rest of the organization. And several frameworks are focusing on this scaling.

Many leaders that are new to scaling agile ask me about measuring individual developer and tester productivity since most agile metrics such as velocity are aggregate measures around a team's performance. These leaders support team dynamics and some promote agile's self-organizing principles.

Similarly, it's easier to define what an agile mindset isn't than what having an agile mindset actually means. . It's pretty easy to describe a "bad culture," but articulating what "good culture" looks like is less straightforward. window.dojoRequire(["mojo/signup-forms/Loader"], function(L) { L.start({"baseUrl":"mc.us14.list-manage.com","uuid":".

"We're practicing scrum, scaling agile, but not seeing the benefits we were expecting," is a comment I hear all too often. The simple answer is, following scrum ceremonies and focusing on scaling rituals isn't going to achieve agile mindsets, culture, and transformation.
