Less is more. More Lean, agile, Scrum and more. It's the craft. It's the empathy. It's the System. I think. For now. Let’s see. It’s complex

@allenholub @CGLambdin @wo_hl Usually, people are told what agile ceremonies to do without ever having experienced the outcome. In Cargo Cults, people were exposed to the outcomes but did not understand the process. The parable of the praying Buddhist monks with the tied-up cat may be an alternative.

@johncutlefish NPS is for early S-curve products people would promote. Complexity theory. JTBD

[Martijn Oost @MartyOO]

@allenholub @loicknuchel “Just” listening is often even better ;-)

@RobMeaney Do you know https://t.co/cvE1iQdbJH

@johncutlefish Maybe research teams or sprints could even be done cross-functionally? Adding more skills to the mix.

[Martijn Oost @MartyOO]

@allenholub You missed the most important one: anything that doesn’t add value to the customer is waste.

@johncutlefish People close to the work feel the actual pain of context switching and know how hard it is to really get stuff done.

[Martijn Oost @MartyOO]

@tottinge Even when agile does work, autonomous teams that self-organise, collaborate and iterate to great (new) products, it often gets squashed by management for being out of control.

[Martijn Oost @MartyOO]

@fxgai @tottinge By now faux-agile has been around for so long that even the agile “experts” are mimicking it and have often never seen the real thing. 😢

[Tim Ottinger @tottinge]

Every single agile failure I've seen has been of the same kind: don't establish atomic, autonomous, self-organizing teams; do solo assignments in a two-week treadmill, and push for more ticket-closing constantly.

It's miserable and fails.

@PeterLudemann @allenholub You are describing T-shaped perfectly. Although in your case it is probably more m or w. What I really like is paint drip. Willing to continuously learn to be able to work together at and across the boundaries of each other’s expertise to create next level products

[Martijn Oost @MartyOO]

@allenholub What does work mean? What does Agile mean? I think the key is in the gradual, now that we know what working Agile should/could look like. I have seen it work bottom up, but it was so gradual that I would probably get frustrated now.

[Martijn Oost @MartyOO]

@newproductdog Are you lolling the same about Clayton Christensen predictions? Honest question! I Respect the man, his work, the theory tremendously. But maybe somethings can’t be predicted. Maybe especially new s-curves by apex predators?

[Martijn Oost @MartyOO]

@CharlesTBetz @CGLambdin How can you be accountable for the product as a team if you don’t have at least some cross-functionality?

[Martijn Oost @MartyOO]

@Bouboutyassine Eens fascist altijd fascist.

@Travelling_Fool @stephanie_leue Shouldn’t the focus of product be solve the peoples problem?
