DESCRIPTION

How busy-ness culture negatively impacts our ability to deliver value by Adam Yuret, http://www.contextdrivenagility.com What did you do yesterday? What will you do today? What’s getting in your way? Three questions commonly asked at Daily Scrum meetings that imply that doing things is the purpose of work. Rarely have I encountered organizations where these following answers were acceptable: Yesterday I read a book at work. Today I intend to start no new work and make myself available to help others learn. Being too busy is getting in my way and I need some slack. The above may seem exaggerated but aren't; each one is an example of a behavior someone engaged in that helped deliver value to the customer. Slack, learning and play enhance our ability to deliver business and customer value. Adam Yuret Come join Adam Yuret to have a discussion about how a focus on resource efficiency impedes flow while creating mountains of failure demand and fracturing our organization into competing silos. Also learn some ideas about humanistic ways to mitigate these issues and bring flow back to our organizations.

Excessive Work in Progress (WIP) is the enemy of flow. By setting limits to work in progress we can enable greater flow.@AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 28. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 29. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 30. Traditional management thinking treats all demand as equal. There is work to be done and people who do the work. Failure Demand is demand that originates from a failure to have done something right in the first place. Not all productivity is desirable.@AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 31. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 32. Agile team produces growing velocity but, as they speed features out the door, bugs are introduced. When bugs come into the backlog theyre assigned velocity points. It is theoretically possible, therefore, to have a team producing zero value demand while increasing velocity fixing bugs. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 33. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 34. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 35. In order to keep developers typing at maximumutilization, we create teams to absorb the failure demand caused by developers typing at maximum utilization. These teams often have unlimited WIP and must consume an unending stream of demand. This also hides the problems from the people creating them.@AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 36. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 37. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 38. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 39. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 40. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 41. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 42. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 43. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 44. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 45. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 46. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 47. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 48.

In general, reliability is the ability of a person or system to perform and maintain its functions in routine circumstances as well as in hostile or unexpected circumstances. In the case of emergency services, reliability looks at actual incident history data to measure historical performance in accordance with adopted performance measures.A unit unavailable for response provides no service to the community. The unit may be out of service for a multitude of reasons including; another emergency response, training, maintenance, etc. If a unit is not available 80% of the time, it is not reasonable to expect the unit to perform at the 80th percentile. . Poor availability negatively influences response times. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 54. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 55. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 56. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 57. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 58. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 59. @AdamYuretAdam.Yuret@gmail.com 60.

Limiting our work in progress so we focused on completion was a big deal for us. It felt better to have 1 story than 5 tasks in progress. Lead Developer Development was very helpful with testing, volunteering to clear impediments and helping us test during the sprint.
