Be it monitoring and control, collaboration, stakeholders onboarding, change management, and governance methods, the problems only keep increasing. SAFe is a framework that not only aligns team and the program level but also stays in line with the organizational strategy. Apply cadence, synchronize with cross-domain planning.

I’ve always been intrigued by the different ways in which Scrum Teams go about their Sprint Reviews. The time needed to prepare and conduct yet another “Scrum meeting” is not typically seen to be a priority under such conditions. “A good review from the critics is just another stay of execution” -- Dustin Hoffman. It is no soft option.

Scrum has proven to be an effective product delivery framework for all sorts of products. However, Scrum is equally well suited to build the wrong product efficiently as its Achilles heel has always been the product discovery part. How that is supposed to happen is nowhere described in the Scrum Guide.

This may be perfectly fine in some cases, but in many cases, the result is not so fine: Any change that is meaningful and impactful to the business can be delivered only on the pre-agile cadence. Market analysis and business strategy know-how and institutionalized processes are required to answer that question. Is it easy?

Compared to Scrum, Kanban is a young work-management method. Anderson best articulated its application to software development, in 2013, in the foundational book Kanban: Successful Evolutionary Change for Your Technology Business, and its adoption hasn’t been as universal as Scrum’s during the early days of Agile software development.

I wasn’t around when things like XP and Scrum were invented, but I have been lucky enough to spend time with many of the original signers of the Manifesto. That having weekly planning cadences; daily standups, reviews, and retrospectives would give people a reason to get in the same room and collaborate. Why is it so difficult?

Intended audience: Scrum masters, Product owners, Managers and Agile coaches. I was successful with optimising for feature size that could be delivered in a two-sprint cadence. This approach is ideal to get a cadence from the influx of new features to done, closing the empirical process control loop from design to delivery.

So we start with culture, maybe we go to practices and then all those teaming strategies and dependencies and governance and metrics and all that stuff that we struggle with all the time will just kind of work itself out.

Updated to reflect the 2020 Scrum Guide! Without a regular cadence of delivery of working software any belief that you will get a usable increment is misguided at best.

I questioned why there were so many controls and regulations. Old ways of working won’t solve it, and simply implementing practices like Scrum, DevOps, FinOps, or ProOps are not sufficient to create the organizations we need for the changes we must make. No controls, no accountability. We agree with that, don’t we?
