Moderation ist im Scrum Rahmenwerk fest verankert. Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review und Sprint Retrospektive sind dadurch bestimmt, dass innerhalb einer vorgeschriebenen Zeitspanne ein Ergebnis erreicht werden soll. Der Scrum Master facilitiert die Zusammenarbeit so, dass das Scrum Team dieses Ergebnis auch erreicht. Was ist, wenn er nicht zur Verfügung steht?

Agile approaches like Scrum have long promoted the importance of working at a sustainable pace. This principle was made part of the Agile Manifesto due to a common practice in the software industry where people were(/are) expected to work extra hours in order to meet a deadline. Commonly this was(/is) used to mask inevitable inaccuracies in planning, poor management and quality issues.

Scrum Teams are often given goals with the expectations that they need to be achieved. This anti-pattern leads to waste and disengagement. The article explores the purpose of setting goals in a complex environment.

Being an effective Scrum Master or team member inevitably involves difficult conversations. How we approach challenging discussions can mean the difference between a transformative moment and one that goes sideways. Fortunately, there is a lot we can do to prepare for those times when we need to wade through a thorny issue. Let’s look at some strategies for facilitating difficult Scrum Team conversations.

Im Sommer 2021 nahm ich an einem Werte-Workshop teil. Der Tag endete für mich mit mehr Fragezeichen auf der Stirn, als er begonnen hatte. Nicht die Diskussion über die Werte verwirrte mich, sondern die Frage: Was unterscheidet Vision, Mission, Strategie und Roadmap? Im letzten Jahr habe ich viel gelesen, recherchiert und mit erfahrenen agilen Coaches darüber gesprochen, was eine Vision, eine Mission und eine Roadmap auszeichnet. Dabei bin ich auf die folgende, überraschend einfache Erklärung gestoßen. Um dir ein Jahr Arbeit zu ersparen, teile ich sie hier mit dir:

Almost all Scrum Teams use a type of board to visualize their work giving them a better understanding of where they are currently and helping them make upcoming decisions. In this post, we investigate the techniques of effective collaboration on Sprint Board one by one.

Grow confidence, celebrate small successes, and build the muscle to get through the hard stuff.

In this video podcast episode, PST Joshua Partogi share his opinion how Scrum Masters stay relevant so they won't be seen as an individual that can be replaced by Artificial Intelligence like ChatGPT.

Originalmente se tiende a asociar Scrum y la Agilidad al desarrollo de software, pero esto no ha limitado la posibilidad de su uso en diversas industrias como, por ejemplo: marketing, manufactura, la industria de la panificación, etc. La figura muestra una lista de industrias que están adoptando Scrum para mejorar su enfoque de entrega de valor y redefinir sus formas de desarrollo de producto. ¿Qué otras industrias conoces donde se usa Scrum o potencialmente puede usar Scrum?

I need your support, dear community. For months, I have been working on turning the popular Scrum Anti-Patterns Guide PDF into a new book from Scrum-org’s Professional Scrum Series, published by Pearson. There is one challenge, though, I like to ask for your support: which cover shall it be — red or blue?

„Als [Rolle] möchte ich [Funktion], um [Nutzen].“ User Stories, die so geschrieben sind, bergen drei große Probleme: 1. Sie ignorieren den Kontext oder die konkrete Situation. 2. Sie verwenden Personas. 3. Sie koppeln die Funktion mit dem Ergebnis für den Nutzer. Hier die Probleme im Detail:

In the heat of "the battle" teams tend to forget why they use the Scrum framework after all and what the foundations are of it. Why do we have Sprint Planning sessions every other week, why does our Product Owner has these or those accountabilities, why did we started using a team board after all, why did... 

This is the fourth part of the four-part series on conflict. In the first part, we explored why we need conflict. In the second how to establish a space that will be conducive to exploration of ideas. In the third some techniques to review suggestions and ideas. In this post, we will explore a pattern to guide the group through a conflict objectively. 

9 von 10 Agilisten verbringen ihre Zeit damit, Dinge zu verbessern. Aber was bedeutet „besser“ eigentlich? - Ist es besser, wenn weitere Prozesse zur Qualitätssicherung eingeführt werden? - Ist es besser, wenn weitere Funktionen zum Produkt hinzugefügt werden? - Ist es besser, wenn wir stets neue Methoden in den Ablauf der Retrospektive einfügen? - Ist es besser, wenn wir noch ein weiteres Chat-Tool einführen, damit das Team besser kommunizieren kann? An welchem Punkt ist „besser“ dann gut genug? Ich nehme dir die Antwort vorweg: Wenn „besser“ „mehr“ bedeutet, dann niemals. Mehr Prozesse, mehr Features, mehr Methoden und mehr Tools sind keine Garantie für Agilität. Wenn du wissen willst, welche Frage sich Agilisten stattdessen stellen sollten dann lies weiter...

In Scrum planen wir viel: Es gibt einen täglichen Plan, wenn die Entwickler während des Daily Scrum darüber nachdenken, wie sie heute dem Sprint-Ziel näher kommen können. Natürlich spiegelt das Sprint-Ziel selbst ein größeres Etappenziel wider, das das Scrum-Team für wertvoll hält, um die Probleme seiner Kunden zu lösen. Außerdem gibt es das noch Produkt-Ziel, ein mittel- oder langfristiges Ziel des Scrum-Teams. Schauen wir uns drei kritische Probleme an, die Scrum-Teams mit Produkt-Zielen haben, und ein praktisches Tool, das Ihnen hilft, das Durcheinander zu vermeiden.

Sprint Planning is one of those events that even experienced teams don’t use to its fullest potential.  Here’s why. Many teams see the Sprint Planning event as the time for selecting which Product Backlog items (PBIs) they will deliver in the upcoming Sprint.  And that’s it.  There is so much more that teams can do to maximize the value they get from Sprint Planning.

We plan a lot in Scrum: There is a daily plan when the Developers think about progressing toward the Sprint Goal during the Daily Scrum. Of course, the Sprint Goal reflects an intermediate target the Scrum team considers valuable to solve their customers’ problems. Moreover, there is the Product Goal, a mid- or long-term objective of the Scrum team. Let’s check three critical issues Scrum teams have with Product Goals and a practical tool that helps you avoid the mess.

Are you a product owner? Do you need some coping strategies? Here are two tried and tested strategies. First, become a developer and use the notion of a product owner helper from large scale scrum. Secondly, have a speak now or forever hold your silence meeting.

Der Scrum Guide enthält viele Regeln und Empfehlungen, aber kannst du sie unterscheiden? User Storys zu schätzen ist nicht verpflichtend. In Scrum gibt es keine verpflichtenden Best Practices! Scrum ist ein Rahmenwerk und keine Methode. Der Scrum Guide beschreibt deshalb nur das „Was“ und nicht das „Wie“. Deshalb sind Praktiken immer nur Empfehlungen. Scrum Master, die Best Practices als verpflichtende Scrum Regeln auffassen, behindern die Agilität im Unternehmen. Agil zu sein bedeutet, sich an den Kontext anzupassen. Allerdings ist dieser für jedes Team, jedes Produkt und jedes Unternehmen verschieden. Damit du nicht auch zu diesen Scrum Mastern gehörst, findest du hier eine Übersicht der wichtigsten Regeln und Empfehlungen aus dem Scrum Guide.

In this article, I will try to give you some ideas on how a Scrum Master can serve the organization and also some practical examples.

El informe sobre el estado de Agile en 2022 es un documento que proporciona una descripción general del estado actual de las prácticas y metodologías ágiles, incluida información sobre su adopción y eficacia.

Does the following situation ring a bell? You enter a room and immediately get involved in a situation, listen how a problem is described, see a task or read a request. A single look, a single sentence, a small wink makes you think you perfectly know what is going on. This blogpost invites you to step back and listen before you act. It provides questioning techniques to help you as Scrum Master, Product Owner, Developer or Agile Leader to stay a little bit longer in the state of "actively do nothing" and listen before you act.

Let’s unpack what defines trust and how, although it does not sit among them, the Scrum values help build trust among team members.

Nexus es el marco ideal para escalar Scrum debido a que no modifica Scrum. Es ideal para quienes ya usan Scrum debido a que su adopción se basa en Scrum. Nexus mejora la visiblidad y transparencia de las dependencias entre los equipos, dependencias externas y de otro tipo que elevan el riesgo de no entregar incremento de producto integrado entre todos los equipos que escalan a través de Nexus. Un evento clave es el Nexus Daily Scrum donde participan al menos un integrante de cada equipo Scrum del escalamiento además del equipo de Integración, Product Owner y Scrum Master.

This is the second part of the four-part series on conflict. In the first part, we explored why we need conflict. In this post, we explore how to establish clear boundaries at the start of the event to provide the environment that will enable you as a facilitator to navigate through conflict.
