Agility Island - for practitioners & coaches in Product Management, Lean, Agile & Scrum – Details, episodes & analysis

This week, we delve into the key elements of a Kanban board, such as workflow definitions, cycle time, throughput, work item age, and Work-In-Progress (WIP). We break down the types of work—discovery, development, and delivery—and discuss the critical time horizons: discovering the "next best thing," developing with evidence, delivering customer-ready products, and reflecting on past releases.

Dive into the importance of avoiding backward movement on the Kanban board and explore the use of swim lanes to facilitate flexible workflow. Discover the benefits of separating discovery work items from development work items and the option of combining all elements into a single work item with subtasks.

The last 18 years working in a range of different industries (ranging from tech to oil, tobacco, etc) have taught me a lot. Today I share some of the advice I would give the version of myself who was just starting out. Whether you are an experienced scrum master or just starting your career, there's something for everyone in this episode. 

From the Kübler-Ross Change Curve to the Tuckman Model, the devastating impact closing down a project can have on a team, what drives our behavior, Executive Agility, the importance of understanding the business and technical domain when working outside software, imposing your views on other people's beliefs and lip service.

What is the difference between a scrum master and an agile leader?  If you start with the scrum master, what should a scrum master be doing?  What would a leader do? the difference in the positions of scrum masters and agile leaders may not be as big as you think it is.

Thank you for listening.

Sustainability should be central to value. Instead of inauthentic greenwashing lets aim to be authentic with our sustainability and truly reduce our impact on the environment. If you truly want to improve your sustainability, consider it in terms of how you prioritize value.

When will it be done? How do we manage expectations in scrum? How do we use Monte Carlo probabilistic forecasting and the importance of throughput.

The 2020 version of the Scrum guide introduced the notion of ''product goal' but big visions can sometimes be hard for scrum teams to wrap their heads around which can in turn affect empiricism.   What is a product goal and how can we go about having one without affecting empiricism?
