As promised (warned), here is part 2.
The match was action packed though mostly one-sided with the #BlackFerns dominating after an impressive initial try by #Japan. It’s not worth trying to capture the action in a mobile phone photograph but here are the teams during a #Scrum.

One really nice thing about my new job is that there isn't a Scrum Master in sight. 
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.

I have yet to work on a team where #scrum actually works.
I've watched burndown charts go up and to the right as intervening requests piled in.
I've watched engineers argue longer about the ticket estimate than they actually spent working on the ticket.
I've watched people game the system repeatedly to make the metrics look good.
I've seen metrics look awful for months at a time and the execs don't care (even though execs mandated scrum).
Does this ever work?
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?
