1,5 h. is quite a long time….

WHO IS HERE?

WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING?

Biased?

But Agile nirvana is the exception

PROJECT MANAGEMENT ANTI-PATTERNS?

HERE IS A FEW….

Communicating it is dangerous

Believing it is failure

And even worse

Not prioritized

based on wishful thinking Calculated without wait time

Taken for granted

Tracking on the wrong level

More people!

Ignoring facts

Please let the team finish overnight or make somebody else fail before us

Time for overtime

Stop caring and get to work!

Too many dependencies

But we have velocity!

Backlog Specification

Sprint Ready

Sprint Backlog

Develop-ment

Test Demo QA Prod Accepted

Velocity measured from here

Does not equal preditability here

Pure administrative overhead

I have no idea what we are building but could you help me with these numbers for my status report?

But hey, we are like value focused...

This is important, no this...

KANBAN REMINDER

There is not only one way

Kanban is like water

4 guiding principles

! Start with what you do now ! Agree to pursue evolutionary change ! Initially, respect current processes, roles,

responsibilities and job titles ! Encourage acts of leadership at all levels

6 core practices

! Visualize ! Limit Work-in-Progress ! Manage Flow ! Make Policies Explicit ! Implement Feedback Loops ! Improve Collaboratively, evolve

experimentally

KANBAN DOES NOT MANDATE:

New roles

New team structures

Or new ceremonies

WELL ALMOST: TWO CHANGES ARE SOMETIMES NEEDED

From stage gate development

Scope Spec Develop-ment

Review Test QA test Prod Live

To incremental

Scope Spec Develop-ment

Review Test QA test Prod Live

Visualizing what?

From horisontal specs

To vertical slices

Spec 1

Spec 2
