New blog post: "Just Do Something Different"

In my latest post, I wrote about how, despite agile's focus on continuous improvement, we often overlook learning by simply trying new and different things.

Was kommt nach "Agil" oder ist "Agil tot"? Beides lese ich immer wieder. Bei beidem muss ich den Kopf schütteln. Daher höchste Zeit, das mal in einer Folge aufzugreifen.

Ich habe dazu, wie so oft bei deinem Podcast, viele Gedanken im Kopf. Agile als Wert als solches halte ich schon immer fiir das verkehrte Ziel. Aber da herum hat sich eine riesige Industrie entwickelt. Und das meist sehr schlecht. Ich vermisse wirklich oft den Blick auf das Ergebnis. on} 21 1 a cee

Ok, auf diese Folge bin ich ein bisschen stolz... Sind wir in einem "Post Agile" Zeitalter? (Ich denke nicht)

Leanpub book LAUNCH! A case against estimates: The rewards are theirs, the risks are yours by Jonathan Crossland https://youtu.be/Dj9RQvA6s0k #booklaunch #consulting #management #agile #programming #newreleases #books #ebooks

Time for a re- #introduction! I’m a California native living in Los Angeles. I’ve worked on #SoftwareDevelopment teams for over 15 years now. I like to explore #Agile and experiment with #AgileMethodologies. You may find me tooting about those things, or about #houseplants, #cats, #sourdough, #baking, #macrame, #TVShows and #cyanotypes. Glad to be here!

Understanding the Product Operating Model (POM) is crucial for any product professional. Itamar Gilad explores Marty Cagan's model, highlighting how modern tech companies blend strategic context, research, and agile culture to drive innovation and performance. This article offers insights into evolving product practices that can transform your approach. Dive deeper into this important concept: https://buff.ly/mwqQFhE #ProductManagement #Agile

🎶
No #cheese today, my followers have gone away
The stream that once was vibrant now is quiet, grey
They couldn’t stand the truth of #AgileCheese
They left behind their #agile dreams with ease

But Ranzinger stands where the cheese still flows
Where iteration sings and innovation grows
So follow now, don’t miss the feast
The future’s shaped with agile #cheese!

Your organization is likely paying an invisible fee:
🧾 The complexity tax.
Layers of approvals, extra metrics, bloated rules.
They don’t help—they slow you down.

"Die menschliche Seite des Task-Splittings" - was kann ich da wohl gemeint haben?

https://no-bullshit-agile.de/nba40-die-menschliche-seite-des-task-splittings.html

#Agil #Agile #TaskSplitting #Scrum #Kanban

A sudden idea: (#software #project schedule) predictability is at odds with genius.

Genius implies unplanned ideas that change everything. A tightly planned schedule will be disrupted by genius. Or you won’t use the genius idea, to avoid the disruption.

But you can think about what parts of your project really need genius (code, functional design, UI, … or maybe none), and what stages of your project need genius (mostly the first half, hopefully) and make plans accordingly.

»Why Smart Scrum Masters Are Using AI to Read Between the Lines—June 10, 2025« https://www.scrum.org/resources/blog/why-smart-scrum-masters-are-using-ai-read-between-lines-june-10-2025 #Agilist.in #Agile #Change #Lean #Kanban #Scrum

Agile means change—but truly being #agile means changing agility itself. If you’re not radically reinventing what agile even is, you're stuck in static agility. That’s why #AgileCheese embraces the paradox: the only real change to agile is abandoning it entirely. Which makes agile impossible. And yet—#Agile #Cheese exists. It is the agile that survives its own contradiction, fermented beyond logic. 🧀🚀 #AgileParadox #CheeseTranscends

Culture eats methodology for breakfast. No matter how Agile your framework, if your organization punishes failure, stifles autonomy, and rewards output over outcomes - you're stuck. #Agile #Culture

In Folge 39 habe ich mich mit @mflx über Agilität aus C Level Sich unterhalten. Schön und informativ war´s! Danke nochmal!

Bonjour, je serai à Nord Agile "Agi'Lille" le 25 juin (https://agilille.fr/) et Agile Lyon le 4 juillet (https://www.agilelyon.fr/). Je parlerai d'une certaine forme d'agilité en 2052 dans un éco-village (cynefin, sociocratie, etc.).
