The word management is often treated as if it has four letters. But try getting anything done in a fast-paced work environment without applying the four functions of management. No matter what type of work you do, having a clear understanding of the four functions of management will help you do that work more efficiently. It’s all about adapting to whatever work environment you’re in and making it perform better.

Scrum defines three specific accountabilities within the Scrum Team: the Developers, the Product Owner, and the Scrum Master. — Scrum Guide 2020. When it comes to the Scrum framework, these three roles with their accountabilities are the minimum required to deliver a potentially “done” Increment. The fact that Scrum doesn’t define other roles/positions/functions (how you want to call them) doesn’t rule out the fact that their accountabilities aren’t valuable.

Reflecting on last year, we can all identify things that undermined project progress or inhibited success. I call these things Productivity Demons or Project Demons. They consist of the little things in a project that you don’t want to do, that you procrastinate or try to delegate ineffectively. You know they need to be done, but drive you a bit crazy so you avoid them at all costs.

We started this Scrum foundation series explaining we see four underlying concepts of the Scrum framework. In the past series of mails we covered the three pillars of Empiricism. You might have felt that implementing an empirical approach is not easy. And one of the main reasons, if not the main reason, is trust. Without trust, people will not be transparent enough, leading to blurred results during inspection, and resulting in adaptations that are not the most valuable.

When KPMG asked CEOs how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted their digital transformation plans, 74 percent said it accelerated the digitization of operations and the creation of a next-generation operating model by months, if not years.

Ultimately, the Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tool your organization chooses or the way that it is configured—no matter how great—is not going to transform your organization. However, your organization’s tooling strategy (or lack thereof) can make the Transformation far more difficult than necessary. Your ALM tool should work to enable the system to which your organization is transforming.

If we want to connect our strategy to real outcomes, we have to first understand that strategy isn’t just about the aspirations we have as an organization. It’s about planning to reach our goals and deciding what to do with our limited capacity to achieve them. But before we can determine what our goals are, we have to first identify what’s most valuable to the organization and prioritize the things that will release the most value into it.
