What to do when it's not you
•
1 recomendación•131 vistas
There is too much focus on teams in most agile transformations. The best team still delivers poorly in an inefficient environment. My talk is about how to know when the problems you’re facing are outside of the team’s control and I’ll share a set of options for dealing with them, both for senior management and for the team. For senior management, I’ll recommend about half a dozen ideas for systemic improvements. For team members, I’ll share over a dozen ways I’ve found to hack a broken system in order to squeeze the most value out of it. The talk opens with a very brief introduction to systems thinking, followed by three causes of systemic failure and how to recognize them. Finally, I go through a list of interventions (both for senior leadership and delivery teams) to address upstream, in process, and downstream delays and variability. I sum up with a hopeful message for team members who think they’ve hit the wall of “this is as good as it gets around here.”

- 6. WHEN DOINGTHE SAME THING BETTER WON’T HELP • Fat-tail lead time distributions • Long average lead time relative to deadlines • High volatility in staff liquidity Because all of these things mean your system is exposed to extreme random events which invalidate your attempts to forecast. In these cases, the solution requires an act of leadership. I learned this from Alexei Zheglov
