Limiting Your WIP 25:57

2M ago25:57

25:57

In our previous episode, we talked about the importance of visualizing your current work-in-progress to uncover bottlenecks, enhance decision-making, and provide clarity on your team's workload. Now, let's tackle what often comes next: realizing you have too much work in progress. Why does this happen so often to development teams, and what can we …

Visualizing Your WIP 23:32

2M ago23:32

23:32

When the kind of work we do is invisible (like software development), it can be a challenge to keep track of what work is going on at any given time. That's where visualization can be a great tool for understanding your team's work in progress. Building on last episode's discussion on creating workflow visualizations, in this episode, host Phil Led…

Agile Team Management and Visualization (It's Not What You Think) 17:42

2M ago17:42

17:42

A lot of what we do in software development is invisible. If someone is typing furiously on their keyboard, you don't know if they're about to finish that new feature or if they're complaining to their state representative. One of the things that tends to be invisible is the actual process of getting something from “request” to “deliverable.” Every…

Day One of Managing Agile Teams 25:36

2M ago25:36

25:36

When managing a new team, it's tempting to come in guns blazing with new ideas and changes. Not only can this cause resistance, however, but you might be heading the wrong direction to begin with. Start with Fact-Finding and Reason-Finding before Recommendation-Making. In other words, one of your first moves should be to ask a lot of questions—"why…

How To Manage Software Teams - Fundamentals 20:34

2M ago20:34

20:34

Many of us who were thrown into management positions over development teams had to learn on the job. And when that happens, it can be easy to fall into the role of what you THINK a manager should do—be the rule enforcer and hold the team accountable. But as a dev team manager, your primary role should be to enable your team to deliver value effecti…

If you're a CTO, manager, or team lead looking to develop software faster, this episode is for you! If someone has told you that you shouldn't -want- to shorten time to delivery, this episode is also for you. Because they're wrong. Wanting speed isn't a bad thing—assuming you are building the right thing (which is the main problem Agile addresses).…

Why Are You Doing This? 20:40

3M ago20:40

20:40

Have you stopped and asked yourself and your organization, “Why are we doing this?” You may or may not be surprised to find out that a lot of organizations make decisions, choose frameworks, and prioritize projects simply because of inertia and not because there's a real reason behind it. Why would you put time and resources into maintaining struct…

Hey Managers - Is Agile a Scam? 22:26

3M ago22:26

22:26

Hey managers, let's talk straight: Is Agile a scam? In your context, it just might be. Agile has become the default for teams, but do you truly understand WHY you're using it or if you even need it? In this episode, we're stripping away the Agile buzzwords, getting back to basics, and exploring the essence of Agile from a manager's perspective. For…

Slicing Stories Vertically vs. Horizontally 18:23

3M ago18:23

18:23

Should we be slicing stories vertically or horizontally? Does it even matter? Should we organize the requirements in our user stories by architectural layers or by small units of functionality? Both approaches divide the work up into smaller batches, but what good are pieces of software if they're not actually usable? That's what happens when we sl…

Scaling Agile - Is Less More? 20:20

20:20

Wondering what scaled Agile framework is right for your organization? If this is your question, this episode is not going to answer it for you because we don't think that's going to bring you the most value. Instead, we're going to challenge you to take a step back and ask why you need to scale and why you're Agile in the first place. Just because …

Business Analysts in an Agile World 25:35

Traditionally confined to creating hefty upfront requirements documents, BAs find themselves at a crossroads in the Agile world. However, we believe BAs hold the key to promoting agility and delivering maximum value to organizations. In this episode, we challenge the notion that BAs are mere translators of requirements into user stories. Instead, w…

What Was Rally Thinking? 22:20

If we had a dollar for every piece of “authoritative Agile advice” out there, let's just say that we'd have a lot of money. Sharing the successes, failures, and lessons learned is so valuable to all of us on an Agile journey. But it's important to keep your filter up for not only false information, but also true information that doesn't fit your si…

QA in an Agile World 22:58

5M ago22:58

22:58

Traditionally, QA has been synonymous with manual testing and has been established as its own post-development phase. But in an agile landscape, that setup can lead to bottlenecks and silos. That's why we advocate for making QA a strategic player throughout the entire development journey—not just at the end of development. Tune in to gain insights …

Can User Stories Be Too Small? 20:06

5M ago20:06

20:06

We all know we should get user stories as small as they can be, but can we go too far? Yes, user stories should be as small as we can get them, but they also need to be a valuable delivery (e.g. a user story should not just be a technical task). Tune into this episode for actionable tips on what to do (and what not to do) to keep your user stories …

Should We All Go Back to the Office? 21:54

You might be wondering what this controversial subject has to do with agility, but people in the agile community are already trying to figure out how this topic works in an agile environment. How do we reconcile with the work-from-home debate when one of the principles of the Agile Manifesto is that “the most efficient and effective method of conve…

The Biggest Lie Your Developers Tell 23:27

6M ago23:27

23:27

When you ask how long a project is going to take, do you ever feel like your developer team is telling you what you want to hear rather than reality? Unfortunately, this problem is all too common in software development when it comes to estimating deadlines and giving progress updates. We're not claiming it's anything nefarious—humans are just bad …

MVPs - How Will You Measure 23:00

6M ago23:00

23:00

So you've defined success for your MVP. But have you thought about how you're going to measure whether it's successful or not? It sounds simple, but it's often not. Some measurements are black-and-white and easier to extract information from. But others (like sentiment) have a lot more gray areas and can be tricky to make decisions based on. In thi…

Next in line on MVP series, we're talking about defining success for your MVP.

MVPs - Feature Selection 19:45

How do you decide which features should make it into your MVP? When people first think about MVPs, usually this is the point they jump to (side note: if you haven't listened to our previous episodes in our MVP series yet, go back and listen to those first!) With countless feature options and probably many strong opinions, it can be challenging to n…

MVPs - The User Journey (Don't Stop Believin') 19:58

7M ago19:58

19:58

Forget about software for a second and think about what your user actually wants to accomplish. Why would they want your software in the first place? What are you helping them to get done more easily than they could without your software? Those questions are what you should be thinking about when it comes to user journey—not screens or features. Be…

MVPs - The "Who": Personas 22:47

7M ago22:47

22:47

Next up in our series about MVPs, we're talking about personas. To know if people are going to use your product, you first have to understand the people you would be building the product for—because no product can be built for “everyone.” In this episode, Host Phil Ledgerwood breaks down MVP personas into three parts: identifying potential users, u…

MVPs - The "How": The Vision 16:32

7M ago16:32

16:32

In the next episode in our series about MVPs, we're talking about the vision: the thing that guides, outlines the scope, and captures the value of the MVP. Everything we do in the MVP needs to be geared towards the vision—not towards your idea of the final product. If it’s extraneous to the vision, it’s extraneous to the MVP. Sticking to the vision…

We're covering the last assumption of Little's Law in this series, and this time we're looking at why consistent units must be used for all measures This one seems obvious and trivial, but that doesn't always translate on a practical level when we're thinking about how we want our work items and the planning around them to look.

It's time to unpack another assumption of Little's Law, and this time we're looking at how and why the average age of WIP must not be meaningfully changing. This is probably one of the most misunderstood assumptions because people think everything must be the same size. But the key to remember here is the word "average." Little’s Law needs the aver…

We've been working our way through a series on the assumptions of Little's Law, and this episode is about the importance of keeping your WIP constant in your system as a whole. Little’s Law doesn’t tell you the right amount of WIP—it just wants it to be stable so that you're pulling work at the same rate that work is completed. This way, your syste…

A Little Help - Finishing What You Start 22:12

When a card gets pulled to work on, that should mean that the team is committing to not only starting it but also (and more importantly) finishing it. Now, we all know that it's not always that simple. Blockers happen, new priorities come down the management pipeline, and, unfortunately, cards in progress are forgotten or pushed backward into the b…

We all know keeping our WIP limited is a good thing—Scrum does it with a Goal and timebox, and Kanban does it with a stated limit.

Do You Really Have a Team? 17:43

Everyone says they have a software development team, but do you really? Or is it just a group of individuals who kind of work together? Software development is a team sport.

What outcome are you expecting from Agility? This is the most important question for organizations and teams to be asked when it comes to using Agile methods, but it's also commonly overlooked.

Story points—some teams find them useful for having discussions to align their understanding of what a story entails. But the points are not actual quantities of anything.
