You might think agility is something you apply uniformly. And if you are working in a large org, you have probably heard someone propose that we all should have one way of working. A standard way across the entire company. I am here to share that, in my experience, this does not make much sense most of the time. Different Flavours of Adaptability Different parts of a business move at different speeds, operate under various constraints, and require different types of adaptability.

One of the biggest mistakes Ive seen in Agile adoption is the separation of design and development into different teams, each with their own Product Owner and their own Product Backlog.

Are your team members constantly looking stressed, struggling to meet deadlines, or appearing disengaged in meetings? As a manager, it can be tough to spot the signs of overwork before it starts to take a toll on productivity and morale. However, ignoring these signs could lead to burnout, poor work quality, and ultimately, higher turnover. An employees well-being is not a luxury, it is a priority.

For many nonprofit organizations and NGOs, managing grants and monitoring projects with spreadsheets and manual processes feels familiar—but is it holding your organization back?

Research from UC Irvine, Harvard Business Review, and the American Psychological Association confirms this troubling reality. Here's what's consuming the other 5+ hours: Context switching: 23 minutes lost to refocus after each interruption Meeting overload: 62 monthly meetings for managers (50% considered unnecessary) Dig

Jeder Scrum Master kennt diese Probleme: Im Refinement erzeugt das Team in einer Stunde nur eine Lsungsidee. Beim Sprint Planning stehen die Entwickler nicht hinter dem Sprint-Ziel. Im Sprint Review dreht sich die Diskussion mit den Stakeholdern schon seit Ewigkeiten um die gleiche User Story. In der Retrospektive lehnt der Product Owner den Verbesserungsvorschlag ab.
