Qualquer pessoa responsável pela gestão de resultados dos negócios também deseja aprimorar esses resultados, melhorando seu desempenho nos negócios. Independentemente de quais estratégias eles usam, espera-se que os gerentes revisem e aprimorem regularmente os processos de negócios.

On today's episode of YOUR DAILY SCRUM: Can one person be both the Scrum Master and Product Owner on a Scrum Team?

When I made the transition from traditional project management to agility and Scrum, I was excited to step out of the chaos and feel more purpose in my daily work.

In the Evidence-Based Management framework, we measure opportunities in terms of a concept we call Unrealized Value, which can be thought of as the benefit that would be realized if we could satisfy all of the currently unsatisfied outcomes of our customers.

There is a new a new Scrum Guide out - version 2020. What has changed for Scrum teams practicing Kanban?

In the The Evidence-Based Management Guide we talk about the Intermediate Strategic Goal and I likened that to the Product Goal in the 2020 Scrum Guide.

Story Points and velocity have been used for many years in the Scrum community and have been engrained so much in the way that things are done that most folks believe that they are part of Scrum.

While the new Scrum Guide is less prescriptive and more inclusive, it also ties loose ends by including elements better, namely the previously free-floating Sprint Goal and the Definition of Done with the creation of Scrum commitments. This inclusion works remarkably well in the former’s case; regarding the latter, we need a shoehorn, though.

A brief overview of the word changes between the 2020 and 2017 version of the Scrum Guide.

Der Nexus Guide -- der Leitfaden zur Skalierung von Scrum -- wurde aktualisiert! Der Nexus Guide 2021 enthält weniger Vorschriften, Erklärung von spezifischer Terminologie und einen Ergänzender Theorieabschnitt.

Many organisations wrestle with the seeming incompatibility between agile and release management, and they struggle with release planning and predictable delivery.

There is no need to choose between Scrum and Kanban, but certain myths have led some to believe this is the case. It’s time to debunk them once and for all.

Most Scrum Teams that I encounter don’t do refinement of their Product Backlog and try to work on things that they don’t understand correctly.

Many teams are struggling with delivering modern software because they are not building with Test First Principles. Test First gives us the assurance that we have built the correct thing, that what we built is what the customer asked for and that when we change things we don’t break anything inadvertently.

In my last post about Professional software teams creating working software David Corbin made a good point. How do you determining what “Free from fault or defect” means? Since that is different for each Product and may change over time you need to focus on Quality and reflecting that quality in a Definition of Done (DoD).

Explains why staggered iterations harm software delivery, increasing technical debt, and recommends cross-functional teams, test-first, and working software each sprint.
