Coaching and Developing Product Communities

[David Hussman @davidhussman]

Navigating complexity often requires a thoughtful collection of measures. In early XP projects I led, we balanced goals (outcomes) w/ velocity (a simple sizing tool to shorten learning cycles) Velocity in Scrumland tends toward overly certain that getting things done equals value https://t.co/bPVR2GbPT7

[Jeff Gothelf @jboogie]

Velocity and outcomes are opposing incentives.

If part of your org is focused on one and part on the other, you're set up to fail.

Thanks Adam - I’ll try to go out as I came in, naked and campus.

@jeffpatton @davidhussman Dave I've always really appreciated your friendship and folksy wisdom. I still describe your sartorial style as "Dress-camping". You've demonstrated how to make the most out of these last months with your family. I'm lucky to have known you. Thanks for treating me so well.

.@davidhussman thank you for introducing me to Agile in a simple manner at IDeaS Pune. It permanently changed my perspective.
More power to you.

@jeffpatton @davidhussman We had the honor of bringing David along for a week in Budapest. He connected with folks in a magical way. But the best part was walking the streets with him and seeing the world through his eyes: joyous wonder at everything. Dude is awesome.

2/2 - Being on a similar path to Gerry, I’m more impacted than ever. I once wrote to him in frustration. His advice to me: “stop yelling into the wind and try to expand views and actions with actions and deeds.” He grounded my challenge quickly with openness and simplicity.

[David Hussman @davidhussman]

1/2 - So sad to wake to the news that Gerry Weinberg has died. Along with other big hearted thinkers like @WardCunningham Gerry’s ideas shaped many of mine for the better and meaningfully changed how I approached human interactions actions. He will be missed.

[David Hussman @davidhussman]

Me too ;-)

@jeffpatton @davidhussman @davidhussman thank you for the opportunity to work with you on Chicago Agile Open Space Meetups, Agile Day Chicago and being an attendee in your Agile20XX sessions. Whenever I was in the room with you, your passion for the craft is unbelievable, and I’ve learned so much from you

Yesterday, three muso buds (one being my step daughter — an ugly word) gathered in my house to talk songs for a service and it exploded into a spontaneous house jam that made my day and started us burning down the house.

[Jeff Gothelf @jboogie]

@jeffpatton @davidhussman Music and agile? That's the Reese's peanut butter cup of awesomeness. We're thinking about you David.

[David Hussman @davidhussman]

I’d dig hearing more about your trajectory change.

My good friend @davidhussman is battling cancer. If he’s your friend, or he or his work has touched your life, now is the time to let him know.
