Is Shape Up better than Scrum?
About three years ago, when our public platform engineering team at Stack started growing, we realized that we needed a more robust formal project management system that could scale with all the creativity coming on board. That's when we started looking at formal, by-the-book frameworks to empower and coach our teams to their fullest potential. We landed on Agile and Scrum. Admittedly, our development team was nervous about implementing Scrum and Agile at first. So we focused on the goals of introspection and accountability rather than the rigidness of enforcement.Agile and Scrum get a lot of hate. But is that their fault or are you doing it wrong?We talked about this on the podcast a few years ago, when Ben, Paul, and Sara wondered, “Is Scrum making you a worse engineer?” It's about providing support—not punishing people. Done right, Agile and Scrum can be a force of freedom and autonomy when they start with trust.Connect with Shanda and Jon on LinkedIn.We conclude with a big high five to Lifeboat badge winner jminkler for their answer to how to create an Instagram share link in PHP (thank you).‘Til next time.

As a follow-up to https://www.meta-cast.com/episode/episode-192-bob-is-done-with-scrum (Episode 192), we adopt a similar stance to https://www.meta-cast.com/episode/episode-193-youre-a-scrum-master-now-what (Episode 193) and take a "now what?" stance. In 192, Bob was really fired up about some issues he sees across the agile world. What should our listeners do with that info? This episode attacks that question head-on. Is Scrum really that bad? Is Scrum even the issue? What do you think? Let's discuss!!! Keep The Conversation Going: We love our community.

In another episode recorded in the "before times", Travis talks about finding the balance between not enough and too much process. Is Scrum too much process? How do you tell when process is designed to help versus be a remote control for a team? What if the process is being blamed for other problems? They discuss the signals that tell you when a process isn't working for you and when to modify existing processes versus throw them out.Notes:Extreme Programming Explained by Kent Beckhttps://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Programming-Explained-Embrace-Change/dp/0321278658Scrum Guide ™ ™ ™ ® ® ®https://www.scrumguides.org/index.htmlTaylorism (Scientific Management)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_management

Should Scrum Teams revolt against creating "plans"? Are Scrum Teams supposed to not look further than their current Sprint? Is Scrum a "happy go lucky" way of building products, not planning ahead in any way, shape or form?

In one of my recent Certified Scrum Master classes, I had a number of students who were working on projects involving migrating from a legacy data warehouse to new data warehouses. Figuring out how to apply Scrum to the work they were doing presented a number of challenges and left some open questions. Here are two examples of the data related topics that showed up in the Parking Lot: How do I apply Scrum to data factory? As a Data Architect, I want to learn how Scrum applies to data factory so I can be part of a successful Dev. Team In talking with the students about the work they were doing, I was left with a question: Is Scrum really the best option for this type of work? While I'm able to understand the challenges they face—both with the work and applying Scum in this situation—my background does not include the necessary work experience to speak to this topic with any level of authority. Fortunately, at LeadingAgile I have many experts I can reach out to when I run into situations like this. LeadingAgile Senior Consultant, Dave Nicolette, was kind enough to spend some time digging into this topic with me. If you are working on large scale data-related projects and trying to figure out how to use Agile to get the work done, this week’s SoundNotes should offer you some valuable tips.
