Can an inexperienced development team without any senior members can implement scrum? While there's a debate on the necessity of technical excellence for scrum's foundation, one suggestion is to define a clear DOD (definition of done) to unify the team. By revisiting and evolving this definition, teams can incrementally improve and move towards better technical excellence and adopt more Scrum practices. Join us as we delve into this topic, with Todd showing an optimistic viewpoint and a surprising role reversal on our perspectives. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Learn more about your ad choices.

When dealing with working agreements gone wrong with a developer, we always hope that it’s a misunderstanding that can be solved with an easy conversation. In the cases where it’s not, we believe this is when a Scrum Master needs friends. Scrum Masters should always be willing to work with other areas of management such as leadership, financial, human resources, etc. If a developer is consistently breaking an agreement this is where we believe management should get involved to create a performance plan for that individual and hopefully resolve the issue. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Learn more about your ad choices.

Richie Peters has experience as a Scrum Master with a background in engineering management and has worked in various software companies. Richie and Ryan discuss how Scrum implementations in organizations are challenging due to a lack of understanding and education about Agile principles among senior leadership.

Todd and Ryan address a question about handling unplanned work that is not measured in Sprint planning and affects a team's predictability in meeting Sprint goals. They recommend holding back capacity back in Sprint planning to account for the unplanned work and plan realistically rather than at 100% capacity. They suggest cutting capacity in half if about half of the work in a Sprint is unplanned. They also caution against equating predictability with maintaining the same velocity or throughput and recommend measuring unplanned work transparently and gathering data on it. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc See omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

The video discusses who should facilitate a Sprint review in a Scrum team. Todd and Ryan believe the Product Owner should be involved in the process to ensure the right stakeholders are present to adapt the product backlog.

Andy asks whether all planned work by developers for a product must come from the product backlog. The answer is yes, assuming all developers work on the same product. However, problems arise when teams work on multiple things simultaneously.

We believe that organizations make mistakes by having agile coaches and scrum masters. The scrum master should be the agile coach of the organization, and creating separate hierarchies diminishes the role of the scrum master. We also believe that some organizations claim to use agile but have not actually changed anything. They suggest using evidence-based management to determine if agile is working and to drive a narrative based on the data rather than trying to make it fit a preconceived narrative. The use of data in conversations must be handled carefully and crafted with a narrative, goals, and strategy. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTraining See omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

Todd and Ryan discuss what components should be included in a year-end report or metrics for a Scrum team.

The video discusses whether shorter sprints can help a scrum team learn faster. Ryan and Todd explain that sprint length is a planning horizon and there is no right or wrong sprint length. The length of the sprint should be decided by the team and organization, based on factors such as how long they can go without feedback from customers and the stability of the product backlog. Starting with shorter sprints can help identify pain points in the process and facilitate learning. The ideal sprint length can be determined after a few sprints. Todd suggests starting with one week sprints if an increment can be delivered in that time frame. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTraining See omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

The video discusses essential questions for Scrum Masters to consider when starting with Evidence-Based Management (EBM). EBM involves goals, evidence, and empiricism. The first step is to ensure precise and transparent goals and assess their alignment. Next, measuring the right things, such as unrealized value, current value, time to market, and ability to innovate, is essential. The Scrum Master should also consider their relationships with the organization, as EBM can uncover uncomfortable truths. It's necessary to have methods and techniques to handle these situations positively. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTraining See omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

The video discusses dealing with a team with a "we finish when we finish" mentality and consistently carries over work items from one sprint to the next. Todd and Ryan suggest looking at the aging of work items and discussing this in the daily scrum to help identify if the team is carrying over work that is not being done or if it's an ongoing problem. They also emphasize the importance of staying professional and respecting stakeholders' expectations by ensuring that work is completed and ready for release by the end of the sprint. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTraining See omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

Todd and Ryan believe that the potential of new tools, such as ChatGPT apps, to replace the role of a scrum master in facilitating and guiding teams is limited. Ryan, who has been working with ChatGPT, believes that while the AI-powered tool is impressive, it is not yet advanced enough to fully take over the role of a human scrum master. He also thinks that the interactions and collaborations between team members are essential and cannot be fully automated. Todd agrees and states that tools cannot replace the experience, intuition, EQ, and all that human scrum masters possess. They suggest that these tools can be used as assistive technology, but they cannot replace the role of a scrum master. They also give an analogy of a grand master chess player using an engine to calculate moves but still requiring human understanding and decision-making abilities. Overall, Todd and Ryan believe that the job of a scrum master is safe from ChatGPT or other similar tools for now. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTraining See omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

The video is about strategies for helping executives with trouble articulating their goals. Todd and Ryan suggest asking executives open-ended questions about what is possible and what they expect to see once specific work is completed. It's important to tread lightly and warmly into the conversation and ensure that it empowers the executive. The alignment and strategy of goals are also essential for creating company-wide alignment. The discussion should be framed as a benefit to the executive rather than a demand. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: - Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTraining See omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

The video concerns right-sizing work in Scrum without historical data or cycle time. Todd and Ryan suggest that, in the absence of data, one should aim to complete product backlog items within half the sprint or less and focus on having small, well-refined stories that are tightly defined and understood. Ryan also notes that data can be unreliable if the team composition, product backlog, or project focus are unstable and suggests that good product backlog refinement and a clear sprint goal are essential for success in such situations. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTraining See omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

In this video, Ryan and Todd discuss how to deal with the culture of busyness in organizations. They talk about the concept of context switching, where people are assigned multiple tasks, but can't do any of them well due to being too busy. They suggest making the busyness transparent and measuring its impact to show that it is not only disruptive to people but also costly. They recommend making the case for reflection time by gathering data on where people are working and why they are working on those things. They also suggest having conversations about the issue and sharing studies on context switching to demonstrate the negative impact of busyness on productivity and revenue. They conclude by stating that the key is to show the benefit of addressing the culture of busyness to those who may be uninterested in the problem by using language that resonates with them ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTraining See omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

In this video, Ryan and Todd discuss the importance of having a clear Sprint goal in Scrum teams. While it is common for teams not to have a Sprint goal, lacking a goal suggests a lack of alignment on higher-level goals, such as a product or a strategic goal. The speaker suggests defining a product goal and creating a clear, concise, concrete step towards achieving it in the Sprint.

Ryan and Todd discuss whether it is acceptable for Scrum teams to work overtime to reach a Sprint goal. They believe working overtime can be okay if the Scrum Team misses something significant during Sprint Planning. However, it should not become a regular occurrence, as studies have shown that overtime can negatively impact quality and morale. They suggest that if overtime becomes excessive, the team should focus on product backlog refinement and their Sprint Planning practices.

Todd and Ryan suggest that in a heavily regulated environment such as defense, automation of testing and validation can help increase agility. They also recommend standardizing processes and inviting compliance and legal teams to scrum events to keep them informed and plan for approvals and phase gates.

Ryan and Todd discuss the potential issues with using the throughput metric in agile development. They express the concern that comparing throughput between teams could lead to manipulation and abuse, just like with velocity and story points. Ryan and Todd suggest that a probabilistic forecast would be a better approach instead of a deterministic forecast. They argue that the community should embrace flow metrics as a better alternative to traditional metrics, like velocity and story points, and avoid the anti-patterns that come with those metrics. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTraining See omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

Todd, Prateek, and Ryan discuss using flow metrics in the Sprint Retrospective. They mention that flow metrics are usually associated with data analysis and may not be immediately relevant to team improvement. Still, they believe that these metrics could be helpful in this context. They discuss the use of cycle time, throughput, item aging, and WIP limits and how they could be used to monitor progress and identify issues within the team. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com F Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTraining See omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

Todd and Ryan discuss aligning evidence-based management (EBM) goals with quarterly planning. They suggest that goals should live outside the boundaries of quarterly planning but that placing targets can still motivate them. They also mention that in EBM, there are three levels of goals: strategic (long-term), intermediate (near-term), and tactical (short-term). They suggest that intermediate goals, with a three-to-six month horizon, are a good fit for quarterly planning but that plans should be evaluated and adjusted quarterly. They also mention that EBM is about empirically evaluating different goal horizons and constantly asking if the goals are reasonable. Ryan and Todd also suggests that EBM can inform and nudge planning to happen more frequently. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTraining See omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

The video compares the Scrum.org and ProKanban.org classes. The critical difference between the two courses is that the PSK (Professional Scrum with Kanban) includes both Scrum and Kanban concepts, while the Professional Kanban only focuses on Kanban. The AMP (Applying Metrics for Predictability) and PAL-EBM (Evidence-Based Management) are two different frameworks and classes. The AMP focuses on time-to-market metrics, while PAL-EBM is a broader framework for evidence-based management. The two classes work well together but are distinct and different. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTraining See omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

Todd, Prateek, and Ryan discuss using flow metrics in the Sprint Review. The four flow metrics, throughput, cycle time, item work age, and whip limits, are defined at the beginning of the video. The Sprint Review is a collaborative discussion about the product, and stakeholders such as customers, users, buyers, and internal executives are present to assess the value and give feedback. The conversation focuses on how to maximize value and what to do next. Throughput is the primary flow metric in the Sprint Review event. The stakeholders use probabilistic forecasting to assess the risk and make decisions based on the forecast, discussing which items can be dropped or switched around. The discussion aims to manage stakeholders' expectations and level set their expectations. Finally, the video stresses the importance of continuous flow metric assessment and sharing of new and greater risks. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTraining See omny.fm/listener for privacy information.
