There is a better way than staggered iterations for delivery that will keep you on the path to agility. Staggered iterations lead to more technical debt and lower quality software. Updated to reflect the 2020 Scrum Guide! TL;DR; The expected result of staggered iterations would be an increase in rework and in technical debt. If you are moving from a 4-year iterative process to a 4-month one you will see the value, but your process will be opaque and will only reduce your ability to deliver worki

Regular readers of my blog will know how much I loathe the term “lessons learned” I’ve written and spoken frequently about implementation issues such as waiting too long to identify them, storing them in a manner which makes accessing them challenging and not responding to them in an appropriate manner. One of the more common problems I have encountered when reviewing lessons is a lack of contextual information to enable a reader to understand whether a given lesson is going to

Many teams are struggling with delivering modern software because they are not building with Test First Principals. Test First gives us the assurance that we have built the correct thing, that what we built is what the customer asked for and that when we change things we don’t break anything inadvertently. Updated to reflect the 2020 Scrum Guide! TL;DR; While it takes time, effort, dedication and discipline to achieve Test First the return on investment is enormous.

From January 10th, 2021 the Scrum.org assessments have changed to support the 2020 version of the Scrum Guide. Even though Scrum has not changed significantly, some of the wording and descriptions of Scrum have changed. The assessments take advantage of the new wording to ensure consistency with the new version of the Scrum Guide. However, it is impossible to change every piece of content, book, or article about Scrum to ensure the same consistency.

In my last post about Professional software teams creating working software David Corbin made a good point. How do you determining what “Free from fault or defect” means? Since that is different for each Product and may change over time you need to focus on Quality and reflecting that quality in a Definition of Done (DoD). Updated to reflect the 2020 Scrum Guide!

Many organisations wrestle with the seeming incompatibility between agile and release management, and they struggle with release planning and predictable delivery. Updated to reflect the 2020 Scrum Guide! TL;DR; Without working software, you can’t build trust and you don’t know when you will get the next piece of working software.

Most Scrum Teams that I encounter don’t do refinement of their Product Backlog and try to work on things that they don’t understand correctly. However, if you get to the Sprint Planning event and your backlog is not ready, then you are doing it wrong. If what you build is not of good quality then you should read about Defenition of Done. Updated to reflect the 2020 Scrum Guide!
