In-Depth: The Double-Edged Sword Of Diversity In Teams 34:49

14d ago34:49

34:49

We're back! How diverse is your team? Do you have members from different age groups, different genders, different roles, and different cultural backgrounds? Is that diversity beneficial to team performance, or is it challenging, or both? This was the research question of an academic study we performed with Prof. Daniel Russo. This study has been pe…

In-Depth: How Scrum Motivates Through Shared Goals And High Autonomy 26:13

9M ago26:13

26:13

The first thing people tend to see when they look at the Scrum framework are the roles, the artifacts, and the events. But that is only structure. There is much more going on in Scrum teams that we can understand better from other perspectives. One such perspective is motivation. Scrum is deeply rooted in insights from academic research into what m…

In-Depth: The Fine Art Of Making Your Improvements Actionable 19:42

10M ago19:42

19:42

“We consistently observe that teams struggle with continuous improvement. Instead of keeping it small, simple, and practical, teams go for ambitious — but vague and unclear — improvements.” The improvement actions that come out of Sprint Retrospectives and other reflective practices are weak when there is no sense of scope, no sense of timeline, an…

In-Depth: What Makes A Good Product Owner? 27:18

Why Doesn't The Agile Community Practice Empiricism? 23:17

23:17

"SAFe destroys autonomy", "estimation is a waste of time" and "Scrum Masters can't also be Product Owners" are just a few of the strong claims that are often made in our professional community. But where is the evidence to support these bold claims? We sampled 50 posts with similar bold claims and found that only 3 offered *any* kind of evidence. T…

In-Depth: Are Scrum Masters Sufficiently Focused On Valuable Outcomes? 34:03

34:03

Are Scrum Masters perhaps too focused on the process, and too little on whether or not that process actually delivers valuable outcomes? How is that for you, as a Scrum Master? This is a hunch based on countless conversations we've had with Scrum Masters, including our own practice as a Scrum Master. But what do the facts say? So we read relevant s…

In-Depth: Does Scrum Only Work In Small Organizations? 22:44

1y ago22:44

22:44

A common belief among Agile practitioners is that Scrum works best in smaller organizations. Things are simpler there, and you don't have all those impediments of your typical corporate. Since much of our day-to-day experience is also with smaller to medium-sized businesses, we are also included to believe this. But is it consistent with the facts?…

Do your Daily Scrums feel like a pointless ritual where everyone just lists what they’ve done yesterday, and what they do will do today? Does Sprint Planning feel like a waste of time because everyone only wants to know what they have to do? And does your Sprint Review consist of team members listing their individual accomplishments?

Do you start a new Scrum team by explaining the roles, artifacts, and events? Do you rarely consider how to build coalitions and persuade people in power to support your work with Scrum?

In-Depth: Stable Or Fluid Teams? What Does The Science Say? 31:03

1+ y ago31:03

31:03

Recently, the concept of “fluid teams”, “dynamic reteaming” or “ad-hoc teaming” has gained traction in the Agile community. Although the concept has many different definitions, a characteristic they share is that members move in and out of a team during its lifetime. However, decades of academic research into teams and workgroups have underscored t…

Do high-performing teams communicate more than low-performing teams? 🤔 If you think "Yes!", you may want to reconsider. Scientific studies often find the reverse. When researchers compare high-performing teams with low-performing teams, they consistently find that high-performing teams communicate less. This has been observed with flight crews, nuc…

Why is code quality so often an issue?

Agility And Business Agility Are The Same 15:30

2+ y ago15:30

15:30

There is a growing trend in our industry to distinguish between “Agility” and “Business Agility”. The idea here is that Agile is limited only to teams and to software and that more is needed. Many consultancy firms are now jumping into that gap with additional frameworks and models. This makes no sense to me. I think that this distinction reveals a…

Five Tips Every Starting Scrum Master Should Know 15:52

When we started as #ScrumMaster, the thing that scared us the most was how to translate those lofty ideals into actual down-to-earth behavior. While it sounded great that #Scrum is about #empiricism”, we had no idea what that should look like with our teams, how we should behave to support that and how flexible we could be with the framework of Scr…

In today's episode, we make the connection between the Scrum Framework and continuous improvement. Few Scrum Teams start from a position where everything works smoothly.
