Check out my interview on Scrum Master Toolbox from 2018 with Vasco Duarte. We talked about #orgculture, #scrum, #canada. Our conversation is as relevant today as it was then, despite our changing #world. https://lnkd.in/gjJ8TeHv #podcast #agile

Join us for a FREE discussion about Software Teaming and FAST.   With Woody Zuill and Per Beining Team Developer and Agile Coach   Thursday, September 5, 8am-10am PDT, 11am-1pm EDT, 5pm-7pm CEST   Software Teaming (Mob Programming) is a cost-effective, collaborative, and fun way to get work done together. It's a whole-team approach to development, where coding, designing, testing, and working with the "customer" (partner, Product Owner, User, etc.) is all done as a team. It emerged from a team that understood that we must collaborate in all the work we do so let's figure out how to excel at collaboration.   The core idea behind FAST (Fluid Adaptive Scaling Technology) is to create a an environment that promotes continuous improvement and quick decision-making. It's designed to help software development teams scale their processes and adapt quickly to changing needs. FAST emphasizes flexibility, allowing teams to scale their work based on the project's requirements without being constrained by rigid frameworks.   FAST encompasses ideas from Open Space, Software Teaming, and Lean. It encourages teams to adopt practices that fit their specific context rather than forcing them into a one-size-fits-all solution. This approach can be particularly beneficial for teams working in dynamic environments where requirements and priorities can change rapidly.   FAST and Software Teaming are closely related and we'll be exploring the connection between them and the benefits of this combination. We will provide a short introduction to both Software Teaming and FAST, and have a question and answer or discussion session as well.   Thanks!   https://lnkd.in/g9dy6zrk

I've revisited my Portuguese articles from the past six years and have started translating and publishing them on Medium. The first article I translated is "Enterprise Agile Coach — beyond IT practices." Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/dJuawd4C. I hope these articles spark more reflection on topics related to business agility and leadership. #AgileCoach #BusinessAgility #DA

I'm not saying...wait...Yes, I am. You may say......"But, that is my process". Ok, have you observed the flow of value through that workflow? Have you assessed where your bottlenecks are (are the tools even HELPING you identify where they might be)? Have you managed those bottlenecks to improve the flow of work through those? And, have you used that to make better choices from your upstream options for satisfying your customer and meeting their needs. I'm not sayin'.....I'm just sayin' #Kanban #Flow #ToC DM me about workshops and tools that might help some of that stuff above, and how I can help you improve your organization's delivery of value to your customers.
