At #Agilian, we consider core values to be foundational beliefs and guiding principles that mold our company's culture, behaviors, and decision-making processes. These values function as our guiding North Star, defining our identity and shaping how our team members engage with one another and our valued customers. What are some of your core values? Find out what makes Agilian's list at our blog: https://lnkd.in/gNcq589E

Deliver value incrementally, gather feedback, and adapt swiftly. #SoftwareDevelopment #KnowTheProblemYouAreSolving #CreateSimpleThingsInSmallSteps #ValidateBeforeDuringAndAfter #ReleaseRidiculouslyOften

At insightsoftware, we uphold the core value of Disciplined Execution by always doing what we say we're going to do and demonstrating extreme ownership in every task. This commitment to reliability and accountability ensures that we deliver excellence consistently and meet our goals with precision. 🎯#ResultsDriven #Success #Achievement #TeamWork #CompanyValues #Excellence

That’s the bottom line. We use processes to help us serve people and create outcomes, not the other way around. OKRs as a framework helps you drive the change you want to, all while keeping the ins and outs of HOW you do that flexible according to what you uncover along the way. #OKRs #Agility #ProductManagement #Goals

#17 Building the team: Failure stories I had 3 lessons-learned posts in the calendar already (#7-9), but there is one more thing that is crucial for better outcomes of the lessons-learned sessions, building a strong team and enforcing creativity and experiments culture. And it is accepting of failures. In some cases, people will be comfortable sharing their failure stories, but we need to accept that it is hard. We all love to win, achieve better outcomes, and get social acceptance, not to mention promotions and bonuses. But it is impossible to grow and get better without failures. Ed Sheeran said it better, that I can https://lnkd.in/dxfDJg5P   Anyway, how to build that culture of learning and accepting the failures? I love Dr. David Burkus's advice - Share personal intel (although he meant to say a different thing). Share the news, the metrics, and the product performance results with the team. Even if they are sad, transparency is the key. I appreciated the All-hands meetings in Oxagile when the war in Ukraine started and later. It makes you a part of the team, and it is what makes you stay even in the darkest days. Be the first to share. As a Scrum master, manager, Team Lead or just anyone who cares - share your failures first. Normalize the conversation about failures, focus on lessons learned and you`ll get support. Where there is no fear - creativity, transparency and respect come. Normalize experiments. Hypothesis, prototyping, incremental approach - they help to deliver value. But its dark side is that not every feature will be accepted, and not every experiment will succeed. Manage that expectation in the team and with the Stakeholders. Add challenging questions to the Sprint Reviews, like: - Could we do it differently? - What value does the feature bring? - How will we understand if the Increment was successful? Celebrate failures. Some companies and communities have Failure nights - they are great. Search for the nearest one or organise yourself. If your team struggles with letting go and killing features, explain the alternative costs concept. For the new product development set the mantra “The faster we fail, the faster we create a better product” How do you deal with failures? #ScrumAdvent2023 #buildingtheteam #scrum

Features, processes and tools are all means to an end. Focus on the outcomes you want to enable for customers first, and work backwards from there.

Ditch the Checklist, Dream Big with OKRs! 🚀 Forget "objectives" that feel like glorified to-do lists! At #Jitta, we ignite passion and inspire innovation with OKRs (Objectives and Key Results). Think beyond the daily grind with ambitious, "moonshot" goals that push boundaries and spark true excitement. Not hitting 100%? No worries! OKRs aren't about performance reviews, but about the journey, learnings, and constant pursuit of progress. See it as a safe space to experiment, test, and even stumble. Every obstacle becomes a stepping stone to growth, both for you and your team. Intrigued by setting goals that matter? Let's chat in the comments and explore the power of OKRs! 👇 #JittaLife #GrowthMindset #GoalSetting #OKRs #InnovationCulture
