Developing software for a specific date brings its own set of unique challenges. I recently did this (again) with a great team and here are the lessons I learned:
"...and all those moments will be lost in time,
like tears in rain.
Time to sprint.”
…but seriously, I HAVE managed to make Agile work through a little deception. We told management we were basing the setup on SAFe and Scrum, then turned around and told the (entirely unexperienced in Agile) teams to just start there and feel free to change whatever needed changing.
What we didn’t compromise on was daily connects that included the business stakeholders (for fast feedback and alignment) and the retros. We focused on teaming, collaboration and culture, keeping tools light and KPIs few.
Went from delivery averages of 3 months to 2-3 weeks. UAT dropped from 2 weeks to being checked off during the Demo. The users already knew what would be delivered and how it worked, as they had been co-creating with the technical team all along. This was in a conservative industry, maintaining systems on SAP ECC platform.

Ich suche noch immer leicht verständliches Material zum Thema #SelbstorganisierteUnternehmen
Und zwar explizit für Menschen, die bisher nur die "normale" Arbeitswelt kennen. Weder von #scrum noch #Agile was gehört haben noch sonstige Anknüpfungspunkte zu #NewWork
Möglichst auf deutsch. Und möglichst kein Managementsprech.
Hat da jemand was?

Creating better #software means applying simple techniques, in small steps, consistently, for long periods.

"Simple techniques, applied consistently over extended periods" - What Andrew Robson said about developing #bonsai also works for #software #development:
The things that help us create better software more effectively (#agile #engineering / modern software engineering) are not necessarily hard to do. But they require practice and experience, and we have to apply them consistently.
Here's how and why... https://videos.devteams.at/w/rN5KRLwkAycaGaFaU4Txnm

A great post about the role of the #Agile Coach in times of Ai.
"The Agile coach role isn’t disappearing.
It’s deepening.
In a world where AI can write your backlog, prioritise features, and even create a retro board…
You might wonder: what’s left for an Agile coach to do?
But here’s what I’ve noticed: when AI speeds things up, teams skip the hard bits.
The awkward conversations.
And that’s where coaching comes in."
