#AgileCincy June Meeting:
Introducing the Self-Management Guide
with @waterscrumban

Self-Management means many things to different people, sometimes seeming like a kind of 'unobtainium' key element to value creation in the world…https://t.co/JLP0A4UWst https://t.co/pcenR6Kdv2

[Dave Dame @DDame]

Most of you know I’ve always leaned on humour.

What you may not know is how often it’s helped turn discomfort into connection, from growing up with cerebral palsy to work, love, and even a recent comedy show where I became part of the set.

I wrote about it here.

Just passed the 3-year anniversary of my viral video A Plan is Not a Strategy. With over 5.6 million views, I think it the most viewed pure #strategy video of all time. Let’s see if it can add another million+ views in its fourth year! Thanks #harvardbiz for the collaboration.

a friend is trying to get me to organize a 25th anniversary conference/event for the agile manifesto next feb in Florida. I have good idea of how to set it up, but won't move w/o a good organizer or two & sponsors.
Anyone keen on taking it up?

Worthy Read: Un-SAFe at Any Speed: Rethinking Scale and Agility by Sam McAfee

"Empowering teams to make their own decisions is the key to achieving positive business outcomes."

🤔 Why doesn't scaling Agile work when it's focused purely on process? This article explores the disconnect between true Agile principles and large-scale corporate transformations.

Here's what you'll learn:
🌱 The spirit of Agile dates back to Toyota Production System, with "Respect People" as its foundation
🤝 Self-organizing teams are central to Agile success
⚠️ Process-focused transformations often separate "thinking" from "doing"
👥 Leadership must prioritize supporting people and teams over enforcing processes
🔄 Scale requires small, autonomous teams working together, not top-down processes

The article offers practical suggestions for better organizational transformation:
🎯 Question assumptions and corporate policies
💪 Support leaders who take risks for meaningful change
🧠 Take seriously the human aspects of organizational change

❓ What's one example of a corporate policy or process at your organization that could use a fresh perspective? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

[Greg McKeown @GregoryMcKeown]

Take a few hours this weekend to think about three big questions:

1. What's essential that I'm underinvesting in?
2. What's nonessential that I'm overinvesting in?
3. How can I make it effortless to get the most important things done?

Long form conversation with SFBABAM (San Francisco Bay Area Business Agile Meetup), and I got spicy several times in there.

If you just keep doing, you will burn out and grind to a halt. Build downtime into your schedule just as you would make time for all the other stuff that needs to get done. #principleoftheday

[Adrienne Shulman @age_shulman]

How do large orgs choose between AWS, GCP, Azure? Some will try cloud agnostic solutions to avoid vendor lock in.

- Cloud agnostic solutions are complex with resources spread too thin
- Can’t avoid lock-in, but you can manage it
- Build exit strategies
