I’m making a list! What are all the reasons you’ve heard that agile/lean/design thinking/okrs/product discovery et al “won’t work here”?
Reply with what your company, boss, colleagues say.
RT for reach please.
@ttorres Great, I appreciate your take on that. Navigating the business leader/business owner/product leader/product manager/product owner morass can be a bit of a challenge at times ;)
@ttorres thanks for hosting the Continuous Discovery Habits webinar yesterday, it was great. Followup Q: as you describe the negotiation between Product Leader and Product Team on outcomes (#19), is that PL role the same as or distinct from the Product Mgr within the Trio (#10)?
A common misunderstanding about Agile and “Big Design Up Front”:
There’s nothing in the Agile Manifesto or Principles that states you should never have any idea what you’re trying to build.
You’re allowed to think about a desired outcome from the beginning.
Historic outcome in Minnesota last night: half our federal delegation is now women w/victories for @TinaSmithMN@BettyMcCollum04@AngieCraigMN & @IlhanMN . We’ve come a long way since U.S. Rep Coya Knutson lost to 6’4” Odin Langen whose slogan was “A big man for a man-sized job.”
I call it “a meeting” when it’s a waste of time, collaboration when it’s useful; a “requirement” when I disagree, a good idea when I like it; “process” when I hate doing it, the way we work when it makes sense. Probably too cynical. Too many mandatory backlog grooming meetings.
As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the App Store, let us not forget the fallen apps we thought we needed from Day 1 (July 10, 2018). To Tetris, Light, and Monkey Ball: you are forever in our ❤️s.
@jboogie@jeffpatton I attended your Smart Scrum Product Ownership course last year in NYC, and loved it. Hoping to send some colleagues next time you offer it again the U.S. Any idea of when that might be?
