Todd and Ryan address a question about handling unplanned work that is not measured in Sprint planning and affects a team's predictability in meeting Sprint goals. They recommend holding back capacity back in Sprint planning to account for the unplanned work and plan realistically rather than at 100% capacity. They suggest cutting capacity in half if about half of the work in a Sprint is unplanned. They also caution against equating predictability with maintaining the same velocity or throughput and recommend measuring unplanned work transparently and gathering data on it.   ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc  Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX  ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1  For more information about Agile for Humans, visit:  Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans  Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc  See omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

YDS: How Does a Scrum Team Handle Unplanned Work?

The video discusses who should facilitate a Sprint review in a Scrum team. Todd and Ryan believe the Product Owner should be involved in the process to ensure the right stakeholders are present to adapt the product backlog. However, the Product Owner doesn't necessarily have to be the one facilitating the Sprint Review but should be responsible for sending invites and ensuring the right people are in attendance. The Sprint review is seen as an underserved event that provides an opportunity to adapt the product backlog.   ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc  Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX  ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1  For more information about Agile for Humans, visit:  Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans  Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc  See omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

YDS: Is the Product Backlog the Source of Work for Scrum?

We believe that organizations make mistakes by having agile coaches and scrum masters. The scrum master should be the agile coach of the organization, and creating separate hierarchies diminishes the role of the scrum master. We also believe that some organizations claim to use agile but have not actually changed anything. They suggest using evidence-based management to determine if agile is working and to drive a narrative based on the data rather than trying to make it fit a preconceived narrative. The use of data in conversations must be handled carefully and crafted with a narrative, goals, and strategy.  ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc  Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX  ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1  For more information about Agile for Humans, visit:  Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans  Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc   Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com    #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTrainingSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

YDS: What Does a Scrum Team Annual Report Look Like?

Todd and Ryan discuss how to make Scrum training effective long-term, even after the training. Training can be like injecting steroids into a team, which can wear off over time. They discuss ways they have tried to address this issue, including following up with newsletters and maintaining relationships with students beyond the training.

They emphasized the importance of finding ways to enable conversation with stakeholders and delivering increments of work, even in the face of challenges.  ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a <a href="http://Scrum.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Scrum.org</a> course: <a href="https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc </a> Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: <a href="https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX </a> ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 </a> For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: <ul> <li>Community: <a href="https://community.agileforhumans.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://community.agileforhumans.com</a> </li> <li>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans </a> </li> <li>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/agileforhumans" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/agileforhumans </a> </li> <li>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc </a> </li> <li>Website: <a href="https://www.agileforhumans.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.agileforhumans.com </a> </li> </ul> #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTrainingSee <a href="https://omny.fm/listener" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">omny.fm/listener</a> for privacy information.

92: Systems Thinking in Agile

Mark Davidson

Hosts Ryan Ripley, Tim Ottinger, Mark Davidson Discussion Tim Ottinger (@tottinge) and Mark Davidson (@agiledelivery) joined me (@RyanRipley) for a discussion about the Product Owner Role, #NoEstimates, Product Management, and the concept of “controlled disappointment”. The Product Owner (PO) role is near super-human. Shared responsibility is one approach to bring this role back down to earth. During this discussion we talk about the complexity of the PO role, the impact that the PO has on the project, and how developers and Scrum Masters can support the PO as they lead the team towards delivering a successful product *release*. And then…we called it a night.

105: Agile Leadership and Management with Dave Dame

Tim Ottinger

Hosts Ryan Ripley, Tim Ottinger, Mark Davidson Discussion Ryan Ripley (@ryanripley), Tim Ottinger (@tottinge) and Mark Davidson (@AgileDelivery) got together to discuss the role of the Product Owner (PO) and Product Backlog Management. Topics ranged from Minimum Viable Product (MVP), Story Mapping, Product Backlog Item creation, and what to do when the backlog becomes unruly. A key take away form this episode is the power and importance of a physical card wall. Having a space where everything known about a product or project is visible can make or break an agile project. Such an area gives teams the space to discuss, solution, and celebrate. The tactile nature of cards also has an impact on team members that a tool cannot yet replicate. Alignment is a great benefit of card walls, as is the ability to ask a basic question: “How do we know that this product / project is a good idea?” We wrapped up with the psychological impacts of a backlog on a team. And then…we called it a night. Will you help the Agile for Humans podcast grow? Please review Agile for Humans on iTunes or Stitcher and leave your comments on the blog site.

Justin Browder (@justin_browder) and Bryan Schoeff (@bryanschoeff) joined me (@RyanRipley) to discuss how project managers and developers can find common ground on Agile teams. [featured-image single_newwindow=”false”]Justin Browder and Bryan Schoeff Presenting at The Path to Agility Conference – Copyright COHAA[/featured-image] Justin Browder is a Senior Consultant at AXIA Consulting. Since joining as the 10th employee in 2008, he has helped AXIA scale the company to over 70 employees while consulting as a Program Manager, Project Manager, and Product Manager within the retail, government, and utility industries. Bryan Schoeff is a Senior Consultant at AXIA Consulting. Since joining as the 56th employee in 2014, he has done little to help scale AXIA to nearly 70 employees (ha!). For the last 14 years, Bryan has worked on technology projects as a Software Developer and Solutions Architect focusing on web and mobile technologies in the government and utility industries. In this episode you’ll discover:  How empathy plays a key role in bringing project managers and developers together Why estimates can feel unsafe When proper expectations are set, great things can happen  Links from the show:  Justin’s Blog Site – http://www.justinbrowder.online/  The Perfect Strangers Book is Coming! AXIA Consulting  [callout]Scale collaboration, not process. If you’re trying to use agile and lean at the program level, you’ve heard of several approaches, all about scaling processes. If you duplicate what one team does for several teams, you get bloat, not delivery. Instead of scaling the process, scale everyone’s collaboration. With autonomy, collaboration, and exploration, teams and program level people can decide how to apply agile and lean to their work.

If you’re trying to use agile and lean at the program level, you’ve heard of several approaches, all about scaling processes. If you duplicate what one team does for several teams, you get bloat, not delivery. Instead of scaling the process, scale everyone’s collaboration. With autonomy, collaboration, and exploration, teams and program level people can decide how to apply agile and lean to their work. <a href="http://amzn.to/2d17D7E" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here to purchase on Amazon</a>.[/callout] [reminder]What do you do when you don’t know what to do?

48: How Project Managers Can Fit on Agile Teams

Steve McConnell

Steve McConnell (@stevemconstrux) joined me (@RyanRipley) to discuss #NoEstimates, how estimates help teams collaborate with stakeholders, and what professional estimation looks like on an agile team. [featured-image single_newwindow=”false”]Steve McConnell – CEO of Construx[/featured-image] Steve is the CEO of Construx Software. He is the author of many award winning books including:  Code Complete, Rapid Software Development, and Software Estimation: Demystifying the Black Art.

In this episode you’ll discover:  A critical view of #NoEstimates concepts How estimation can help foster collaboration between stakeholders and developers What estimation practices looks like in the context of a Scrum team Strategies you can use to avoid bad estimation practices  Links from the show:  Steve’s Brain Cast Video on #NoEstimates 1st Response to Steve’s Video by Ron Jeffries Steve’s 17 Theses on Software Estimation Ron Jeffries Response to the 17 Theses On-Demand Training Courses from Steve and Construx  [callout]Often referred to as the “black art” because of its complexity and uncertainty, software estimation is not as difficult or puzzling as people think. In fact, generating accurate estimates is straightforward—once you understand the art of creating them.

62: Agile Testing with Lisa Crispin

Johanna Rothman

Hosts Ryan Ripley, Johanna Rothman Discussion Ryan Ripley (@ryanripley) and Johanna Rothman (@johannarothman) got together to discuss Johanna’s new book “Agile and Lean Program Management: Scaling Collaboration Across the Organization”. Johanna is known as the “Pragmatic Manager” who provides frank advice for difficult problems. She is a prolific author and blogger and also publishes a newsletter called The Pragmatic Manager. Johanna provides workshops, training, and other services to organizations looking to improve the way they get work done. In a previous post, I reviewed Johanna’s excellent book – Predicting the Unpredictable and still cannot recommend this important book on estimation enough. Overall, this is an immensely practical book that belongs on the shelf of anyone working on an agile team. The practical suggestions on how to handle providing estimates is worth the prices of the book, making the coverage of advanced topics like #NoEstimates a welcome bonus. Highly recommended! On this episode of Agile for Humans we talked about servant leadership at the program management level, metrics that matter and those that don’t, and where to focus your time and effort to effectively manage your project portfolio. Finally, we wrapped up with thoughts on management, cost of delay concepts, and #NoEstimates. And then…we called it a night. Will you help the Agile for Humans podcast grow?

58: Agile Coaching Strategies with Llewellyn Falco

Ryan Ripley

Ryan Ripley (@ryanripley) recently joined Vasco Duarte (@duarte_vasco) on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast to discuss Agile Coaching and working with teams. [featured-image single_newwindow=”false”]Vasco Duarte – Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast[/featured-image] I had a lot of fun recording this episode with Vasco. We covered the very broad topic of agile coaching. I really liked that we were able to deep dive agile coaching and discuss how it ties back to Scrum Masters and their role on Scrum Teams. I really wanted to make the point that coaching is a career path and a difficult one at that. Ultimately, we are here to reveal insights about the systems of work without resolving them. To me, this is the highest form of coaching. I hope you enjoy this episode and give Vasco’s podcast a try.

Ryan Ripley (<a href="https://twitter.com/ryanripley" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@ryanripley</a>) recently joined Vasco Duarte (<a href="https://twitter.com/duarte_vasco" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@duarte_vasco</a>) on the <a href="http://scrum-master-toolbox.org/2017/12/podcast/special-xmas-bonus-ryan-ripley-on-scrum-masters-and-coaches-and-what-that-means-in-practice/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast</a> to discuss Agile Coaching and working with teams. [featured-image single_newwindow=”false”]Vasco Duarte – Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast[/featured-image] I had a lot of fun recording this episode with Vasco. We covered the very broad topic of agile coaching. I really liked that we were able to deep dive agile coaching and discuss how it ties back to Scrum Masters and their role on Scrum Teams. I really wanted to make the point that coaching is a career path and a difficult one at that. Ultimately, we are here to reveal insights about the systems of work without resolving them. To me, this is the highest form of coaching. I hope you enjoy this episode and give Vasco’s podcast a try.

66:  Modern Agile with Joshua Kerievsky

Hosts Ryan Ripley, Zach Bonaker, Dan Greening Discussion A rejuvenated Zach Bonaker (@zachbonaker) joined Dan Greening (@greening) and Ryan Ripley (@ryanripley) to talk about #NoEstimates and some of the limitations of not estimating work. We quickly moved on from that topic to an area that Dan has put a lot of work in to: What are the patterns that agile organization exhibit? In other words, how do we know that we are agile? Dan has expressed his thoughts on what it means to be agile within 5 base patterns that he explained to Zach and Ryan:  Measure economic progress Experiment Limit work in progress Embrace collective responsibility Solve systemic problems  From there the discussion pivoted to top down vs. bottom up agile transformations. We discussed how they work, the pitfalls of each, and our personal experiences with trying to help organizations adopt agile. Management must be the first mover when adopting agile, followed by the rest of the company. Dan gave a few cautionary tales of what happens if management does not adapt along with the rest of the organization.

We quickly moved on from that topic to an area that Dan has put a lot of work in to: What are the patterns that agile organization exhibit? In other words, how do we know that we are agile? Dan has expressed his thoughts on what it means to be agile within <a href="http://senexrex.com/are-we-agile/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">5 base patterns</a> that he explained to Zach and Ryan: <ul> <li>Measure economic progress</li> <li>Experiment</li> <li>Limit work in progress</li> <li>Embrace collective responsibility</li> <li>Solve systemic problems</li> </ul> From there the discussion pivoted to top down vs. bottom up agile transformations. We discussed how they work, the pitfalls of each, and our personal experiences with trying to help organizations adopt agile. Management must be the first mover when adopting agile, followed by the rest of the company. Dan gave a few cautionary tales of what happens if management does not adapt along with the rest of the organization.
