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…lnkd.in/f-npSXh
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…lnkd.in/fnjPWKp
#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…lnkd.in/eN7bRF7

#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…lnkd.in/fGWD7vB

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…lnkd.in/fPkvQ7r
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!

#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

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. - @andycarmich, #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

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 lnkd.in/f3dwRUn

A6 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. Read more: agilelearninglabs.com/2015/0… Thanks for joining our chat!
