Want to scale agile? Don't. Descale the work. Want to do an agile transformation? Don't. Focus on Flow, Quality, Happiness and Value

My “coaching - unruly and wild” session at #SGVIE19 was full and fast and exciting - thanks to all who dared to dive deep!
If you want more of that come to Berlin for P3 in November;-)

Insightful and thought provoking - enjoyed spending time with this lovely lot last week at 42 Acres in Shoreditch, exploring "awkward conversations" with Tobias Mayer. Try sharing what your needs are with Benji, and be kind to traffic wardens☝️ #awkward #…https://t.co/M0xUQA3Qud

In most cases, teams are better off going at a slower pace, than running flat out in the wrong direction https://t.co/x8Rktk5asw #agile #scrum #softwaredevelopment #trueagile

When we learn to "work small" (1-4 days to finish something) & always check that our work is helping achieve a vision (defined via chartering) & reflect & adapt (on a fixed/variable cadence), our need for fixed-length time boxes (& estimating what goes in them) evaporates. #Agile

In most cases teams are better off going at a slower pace making the right turns, then running flat out in the wrong direction. #agile #scrum #softwaredevelopment #trueagile https://t.co/IsSwebk1J1

Listen Agile haters.
I hear you.
You have had some bad experiences of these practices forced on you or used with ignorant/ill intent.
I get it.

Agile with intent to make work more joyful and orgs more responsive is a beautiful thing.

I hope you get to experience it.

Fully Agile organizations tend to have lots of management going on, but hardly any managers. The teams manage the work just fine, thank you.
