Effective #standup - try this
Since the #agile movement began, daily standup has been its most well know and practiced event. However, few teams use it effectively, i.e: working out a strategy for how we are going to move the needle towards the goal today…https://t.co/vbxvyj63po

Lacking #alignment, #purpose? Try OKR’s

It’s difficult to have #autonomy at different levels if there is no alignment, not to mention a complete lack of #focus on the key #objectives of the organisation.

Objective and Key Results (#OK#OK#OKR) are a go…https://t.co/Byimvyhyp7

#Prioritization myths - Priorities???

@andycarmich recently highlighted the fact that, the plural of priority is a recent addition to our lexicon (see Google Ngram image below). As you can see, it wasn’t really around until the 40’s. If you look at the r…https://t.co/XFwAywtj7W

#Prioritizing challenges? Try Purpose based alignment model.

To build the right thing, it’s important to *filter* decisions about what to build. This isn’t always easy. Here’s a simple, but effective #model to determine an organization's strategic decisi…https://t.co/QFAH8gAdwp

Little's law - reducing #wip, increases #leadtime

While I think the best way to internalize this is by trying one of the #kanban simulation games, this simple math based demo by Todd Little (last name is coincidental) helps in understanding this crucial…https://t.co/6i44uflixO

Dogmatic adherence to a practice like TDD is deeply foolish.

Dogmatic avoidance of a practice like TDD is equally foolish.

Learn the practice. Learn it well. Become skilled at it. Then apply it with your best judgement.

Example of #WIP at airport post #LKIN19-after security check people removed their bags and left the trays back, which in no time stopped the line. Totally avoidable situation if each traveler had moved the tray to ‘done’, which took just 3 secs to do!

Limiting #WIP wins almost, always. Game without a name with ⁦@bertocoetsee⁩ at #LKIN19

#kanban metrics by @sudiptal at #LKIN19
- Data to driven continuous improvements.
- To improve confidence in your predication, ensure good data (reduce the spread).
- Work on the right thing at the right time.
- Reclassify class of service type based on urgency

[Vinod @Synaplasticity]

Kanban at scale ....
1. Organization as network of interdependent Services’s.
2. Scale out sequentially.
3. Design each service individually using #STATIK .
4. Use #kanban cadences for coordination and improvement.

Interesting way to narrow down on key #initiatives using a purpose alignment model - ⁦⁦@toddelittle⁩ at #LKIN19

#kanban maturity model is not your typical model but a codified roadmap based on ⁦@lki_dja⁩ and his fellow kanban specialist and practitioners’s successful implementations. If you want to use it to assess, do it by observing outcomes and not by ticking checkboxes. #LKIN19

[Vinod @Synaplasticity]

@toddelittle conducted a brilliant workshop on Little’s law and the futility of estimation in agile projects at #LKIN19

[Vinod @Synaplasticity]

More work you start, more gets done, right? Wrong! Just the limiting working in progress simulation is worth the time. Stop starting and start finishing. Thank you @andycarmich for your wonderful insights. #kanban method #KMP https://t.co/Y3hDZTUjXO

#Agile #misconceptions - #Scrum fundamentals

If you ask about Scrum, you are likely to hear about sprints, the 3 roles, 5 ceremonies and 3 artifacts. What gets lost in ritualistic implementation is understanding why Scrum works - #empiricism

I don’t recommend estimating tasks at all! I like to see the tasks really small, ideally less than an hour each. Don’t estimate them, just ask ‘is this an hour or less?’ If it’s not, break it down further.
