Scrum is a system integration test to see if it's possible for an organization to deliver value in a Sprint. That test reveals the system's failures, or impediments, that we then must go and fix.

LMAO... and quite impressed with Open AI chatbot

Open AI chatbot prompt: "Rewrite Baby Got Back in the Style of the Canterbury Tales."

Once upon a time in the land of Canterbury
A lady fair with a behind so hearty
Walked in the room with a waist so small
And a round thing in front of us all

[Stacia Heimgartner Viscardi @AgileEvolution_]

@mstine matt, this is great! this is by and large how my brain works but i could never quite put it into words. thank you!

@AgileFaye @agileschools agreed .. “here’s a concept i read about, applied, and learned x/y/z” is very useful and inspiring. Or “here’s how i connected it to something else i was doing already and what i learned as a result”… the creation of a new pattern or thing is always exciting!’

@neil_killick i utilize an outcome-based prioritization model for complicated stakeholder wrangling. Get them in a room and score their requests against a common set of outcomes together and discuss. This reveals the squeaky wheels and lower value items very quickly.

@agileschools … but to just create component teams and call it a day… seems like a choice amongst other possibilities. Cost, time, etc all factor into these decisions. In some cases it may be the right decision. i think that politics and turf sometimes fuel these decisions.

Give every component team a product owner and call it agile. Transformation done.

[Stacia Heimgartner Viscardi @AgileEvolution_]

@agileschools I found myself internally debating this one. depends, like most things - how big the product gets, how many other uses a component of a system grows to satisfy. The question that remains in my mind: keeping a system small and easily changeable, even when it grows,…

[Stacia Heimgartner Viscardi @AgileEvolution_]

@agileschools … i suspect that’s the real hard work. I think of basic architectural principles and good coding and testing practices which in theory aim to keep things small and flexible…. and when things get too big and unwieldy rearchitecting to rein it in….

@RonJeffries 🤣 I was worried there for a minute, Ron!
