Work is evenly shared across a team. If 1 team member has multiple stories active and others are looking for work to do, then collective ownership is not being valued or practiced. Even if it slows you down, pair up, share the work, share knowledge. You will speed up. #agile.

Estimating in #Scrum isn’t about picking who on the team would be the slowest one to complete the task and use that as a measure. Stop thinking like individuals and think like a team!.

Wondering about why it’s so hard to determine direction for software? What about having some conversations with the end users, plural? What better data could there possibly be? #agile.

Customer first, customer centric, measure all decisions against the North Star that is whether or not it is the next most meaningful thing to do for your customer. #agile.

Paralysis by process that prevents simple conversations is a Trojan horse surrounding #agile teams. Looks good on paper, but chance for discovery through interactions and level-setting on needed data points to course correct is lost. Let’s talk!.

Reality wins. there’s a finite sustainable velocity and capacity per #agile sprint. stack ranking and prioritization better be rocket science to maximize value output. Ye be warned!.

If you’re on an #agile dev team and you prefer silos and independent work, you are dead weight to the team.

“Individuals and interactions over processes and tools” denotes inclusivity not exclusivity, #agile.

Inclusion in planning > exclusion. Broaden your cone vision. Many cones will equate to a full 360 view if you consider including cross-functional SMEs, like a pie chart. Many pieces make the whole. #agile #productowning #productmanagement.

If you buy a bundled set of tools, you may not need or use every one. Same with #agile, use the tools you need based on the results you require. Don’t obsess on being a purest if you don’t get the value. Waste is waste.
