Scrum Teams – No Part Time!

Mai 23rd, 2009 · 7 Comments · Professional Software Delivery, Scrum, Team

Last week a attendee of a CSM training was upset that I said that I do not like part time team members in my teams.
She said this is ridiculous. Scrum would be so extremely hard on rules. All the benefits that people got during the last years: part time, working from home, going into [...]

Kanban or Scrum? – First Generation Agile Methods

Mai 22nd, 2009 · 3 Comments · English, Organizational Scrum, Professional Software Delivery, Scrum, Toyota Production System

I found again some very interesting wrong interpretations about how Scrum works.
Kenji Hiranabe and I discussed this point over a year ago before his second Kanban articlefor InfoQ. I argued and I believe Kenji concurred that Agile methods like Scrum are really small batch transfer push processes. There is no explicit pull system within a Sprint [...]

Scrum in Organisationen

Fortsetzung von Scrum — eine Revolution (4)
Sind die ScrumMaster an allen scheiternden Implementierungen schuld?

Obwohl ich der Meinung bin, dass eine gute Scrum Implementierung mit guten ScrumMastern steht oder fällt, ist es natürlich falsch, den ScrumMastern die Schuld am versagen der Scrum Implementierungen zu zu schreiben.
In letzter Zeit fragen mich zum Beispiel mehr und mehr Teams [...]

Die Wette, die ich immer gewinne
Leider haben viele Organisationen, viele Teams und viele ScrumMaster nicht erlebt, was jede Scrum Implementierung, die ich bisher durchgeführt habe, aufzeigt.: Nach drei bis vier Sprints haben die Teams in der Regel nicht mehr viel zu tun. Die Wette, die ich zum Spass mit [...]

ScrumMaster vs. Domainleads (2)

Mai 10th, 2009 · No Comments · Scrum

My experience, so my actual coaching praxis and that what I implement myself and with the help of my coaching teams is exactly a matrix organization, as Jürgen Apello showed.
We change the Teamleads to Domainleads
Why? Because we want to get rid of the notion that the Teamlead leads a team.
