As a leader in an agile org, you are still incredibly important. BUT your day-to-day changes dramatically. An example: Instead of leading a weekly staff meeting where you discuss what’s going on, who is doing what, etc. – the team owns all of that. You are behind the scenes, removing roadblocks so they can continue making progress.

In "Scrum is Hard and Disruptive #5—I'm All In" Todd Miller and Ryan Ripley discuss why partial implementations of Scrum often do more harm than good. Based on Ken Schwaber's 2006 white paper, this conversation unpacks crucial Scrum aspects that resonate even in today's dynamic business landscape. https://lnkd.in/eYvpfWYH #AgileMindset #Agile #Scrum

Agile IS a mindset and not a process. The Agile manifesto contains powerful yet straightforward principles rooted in common sense. For most development contexts (with exceptions in highly regulated environments), I'm convinced that software development processes should be established at the team level rather than the organizational level. Organizations should focus on driving objectives and defining KPIs, giving teams the autonomy to establish the processes that best suit their needs.

I am excited to share that I have successfully passed the Professional Agile Leadership I (PAL I) certification from Scrum.org. This certification validates that I am a leader who understands the value Agile can bring to a business and how to actively practice Agile. It also demonstrates my knowledge of why leadership support of agile teams is essential to achieving organizational agility and what leaders can do to support their teams to help them achieve higher performance.
