When it helps
Sounds familiar?
- Your teams adopted Scrum or Kanban, but delivery has not really changed.
- A first agile attempt stalled, and people are sceptical about trying again.
- A move to the cloud or DevOps is changing roles and skills, and people need support.
- Leadership lacks a clear view of priorities and flow across the portfolio.
What I do
What I take on
Team coaching
Scrum, Kanban and Lean practices fitted to the team, with continuous improvement built in.
Training
Agile primers for everyone involved or affected, from delivery teams to management.
Portfolio and governance
Visible priorities and flow from team level up to the product portfolio.
Change management
Who is affected, which skills exist, and a development plan built with the people concerned.
Technical practices
TDD, BDD, pair programming and continuous integration, so agility reaches the code.
Leadership coaching
Supporting managers as their role shifts towards teams that organise their own work.
Ecosystem
Methods and practices
I read the Agile Manifesto in 2003 and moved a Scrum project to Kanban in 2008. I choose from these with each team, depending on its work.
Frameworks
- Scrum Certified Scrum Master
- Kanban Flow, since 2008
- Lean Less waste, more learning
- Agile at scale From teams to the portfolio
- Lean Startup Product experiments
Practices
- Story mapping The user journey, sliced
- Specification by example Rules agreed with examples
- TDD and BDD Tests that drive design
- Pair programming Shared code, shared skills
- Retrospectives Continuous improvement
The Agile Manifesto still says it best: four values and twelve principles, written in 2001.
