What's the number one reason #scrum implementations fail?

@Avi_Bueno Cool that you’re having that discussion on the platform that’s been “destroyed”

[Andy Walters @realAgileAndy]

@allenholub Finally, I agree with you on something ;)

[Andy Walters @realAgileAndy]

@allenholub Because story points are relative estimations, which trigger an intuitional rather than logical cognitive process. Intuitions tend to be more accurate because they incorporate context. I actually prefer T-shirt sizing or TFB / NFC / 1 because they veer even more intuitional.

@johncutlefish When I was younger I observed a more senior PM deal with requests that were likely ‘no’s by saying ‘Good idea, I’ll wite that down.’ It made the person feel heard and 9/10 times they would forget about the request anyway.

@ShaanVP @sama @OpenAI Hey there, I’m the Founder & CEO at https://t.co/ZEURFlqOys, we built the world’s first legal conversational intelligence approved by OpenAI for commercial use. Would be happy to talk!

[Andy Walters @realAgileAndy]

@allenholub We use estimates to ensure a shared understanding of the story. If estimates vary widely, that’s a clue we may not be on the same page.

We also calculate monthly velocity as a canary in the coal mine to find productivity black holes (but management can’t use this against devs).

[Andy Walters @realAgileAndy]

@allenholub Agree 💯, I wrote a blog about this recently 😁 https://t.co/su6UGEefh5

[Andy Walters @realAgileAndy]

@dgheath21 Agreed. Queuing theory underlies so much of what we do.

Uhmmmmm peeps how is #540B not the birth of artificial general intelligence? Yes, the blue lines are the unedited output of a computer. By all accounts we’ve blown past the Turing test at least. h/t @lukeprog

@GabeSullice Lol. I guess consider outsourcing your tier 1 support?

[Andy Walters @realAgileAndy]

Excellent article. I’ve seen the QRF model succeed as well.

[François Zaninotto @francoisz]

The QRF Team Model: How to organize an engineering team to address both the planned work and the interruptive tasks, mixing Scrum and Kanban. Great model, great article! #Agile #Leadership https://t.co/hzGlUKc8KT

@leobarnes Agreed. And if you don’t understand why agile works, you won’t know which tools to pick. That’s why the foundational knowledge is so important.
