Robert Briese: Beyond Requirements, Rethinking Agile Product Ownership Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: Impact Mapping And Other Tools Great POs Use To Focus On Outcomes In this episode, Robert discusses the attributes of a great Product Owner based on an energy company's experience. The exemplary PO managed a budget, aimed to introduce new products, and emphasized impactful market presence. The PO's coachability and commitment to improvement are highlighted, along with insights from Marty Cagan's "Inspired." A great PO, as outlined, prioritizes impact over outputs, maintains clarity on product goals and business vision, and employs tools like Impact Mapping for outcome-focused development. The Bad Product Owner: Beyond Requirements, Rethinking Agile Product Ownership In this episode, Robert identifies Product Owner (PO) anti-patterns, emphasizing that many POs don't truly own a product. A common pitfall is when POs isolate themselves, detailing requirements independently and presenting them to the team for feedback. This approach creates a significant gap between development teams and POs, limiting the focus to "delivering requirements." The episode recommends a shift in approach, encouraging POs to step away from detailed isolation and instead bring direct customer/end-user information to development teams.

Thorben Pantring: The Team That Learned How To Collaborate, and Avoid the “It's Not My Job” Anti-Pattern Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. In a revealing episode, Thorben shares lessons from a team in trouble. The team members worked in isolation, often saying "It's not my job" and addressing each other by their roles, not by their names. Thorben tried 2 experiments to help the team: a Work in Progress limit of 1 to foster collaboration and a workshop on the "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team" Model (inspired by the book by Lencioni) highlighting the need for commitment and accountability. Emphasizing a shared sprint goal, Thorben recommends assessing progress collectively. Eventually, a cultural shift occurred—team members adopted the motto "it's our job," fostering collaboration and breaking down role-based barriers. Featured Book of the Week: "Large Scale Scrum" by Bas Vodde and Craig Larman Thorben recommends "Large Scale Scrum" by Bas Vodde and Craig Larman as key book for Scrum Masters. Highlighting its practicality, he emphasizes its value in expanding Scrum beyond a single team. The book guides not just development but also incorporates management involvement for successful large-scale Scrum implementation. Thorben praises its emphasis on customer-centric development, making it an essential read for those striving to make agile magic happen. [IMAGE HERE] Do you wish you had decades of experience?

Join Murray Robinson and Shane Gibson in a conversation with Bas Vodde on LeSS. LeSS is true Scrum at Scale not just at the team level. LeSS applies the principles, purpose and elements of Scrum in a large-scale context, as simply as possible. Many scrum teams with one product, one product owner, one product backlog, one sprint, one sprint planning meeting, one sprint review and one retrospective. Large-Scale Scrum is Scrum. Empirical process control. Transparency. More with less. Whole-product focus. Customer-centric. Continuous improvement towards perfection. Systems thinking.

Das Large-Scale Scrum Framework ist ein leichtgewichtiges Framework für agile Produktentwicklung mit mehr als 2 Teams. LeSS kommt mit festen Regeln zur Aufbau- und Ablauforganisation, Leitfaden (z.B. für die Einführung) und vor allem Prinzipien die als Orientierung gelten für die agile Arbeit in großen Organisationen. In der heutigen Episode soll es darum gehen, die Methode kennenzulernen: Was ist LeSS und was ist es nicht? Welches Rahmewerk gibt LeSS agilen Organisationen vor und welche Stolpersteine gibt es auf dem Weg zu einer erfolgreichen Umsetzung? Diese Fragen beantwortet uns LeSS-Experte Robert Briese. Er ist Coach, Berater und Trainer für agile und Lean Produktentwicklung und arbeitet weltweit mit Personen, Teams und Organisationen an der Einführung agiler schlanker Praktiken und eben auch an einer Verbesserung der organisatorischen Agilität. Er ist einer von nur 3 zertifizierter LeSS Trainer in Deutschland und 23 in der Welt. Viel Spaß beim Zuhören!
LeSS zwingt den Product Owner, seinen Fokus auf sie Priorisierung zu legen und die Klärung von Details zu delegieren! Noch klarer bringt es unser Gast Eike Gehler auf den Punkt: "Prioritization over clarification". Eike ist erfahrener Agile Coach und langjähriger Scrum Master - v.a. bringt er aber sehr viel Erfahrung in sehr großen und skalierten Kontexten mit ins Gespräch ein. Er mag keine Blaupausen und mag am Liebsten zusammen mit den Organisationen die er begleitet herausfinden, welcher Skalierungsansatz im jeweiligen Kontext der geeignete ist. Dabei bedient er sich aufgrund seiner Erfahrung gerne im "Baukasten" verschiedener Skalierungs-Frameworks und -Modelle. Dennoch hat er einen Favoriten: das Framework LeSS - kurz für "Large-Scale Scrum". Dennoch betont Eike Gehler, dass die entscheidende Frage der Produkt-Kontext sei, in dem das Skalierungsvorhaben stattfindet. Tim beleuchtet zusammen mit Eike zunächst dessen eigene Weg in die Agilität sowie seine aktuellen Wirkungskreise in oft großen Organisationen. Zusammen rätseln die beiden, warum das sogenannte "Spotify"-Modell (oder zumindest die dort genannten organisatorischen Formate) derzeit so viele Nachahmer hat. Warum muss jetzt plötzlich alles Squad, Tribe, Gilde usw. heißen? Warum legen Organisationen soviel Hoffnung in diese Organisationsmuster, obwohl dies von Henrik Kniberg und Anders Ivarsson, die damals bei Spotify die Transformation begleiteten, nie als Skalierungs-Framework gemeint war. Tim stellt die These auf, dass "Spotify" derzeit sogar SAFe den Rang abläuft. Tiefer geht es dann um das LeSS-Framework. Hier wird vieles reduziert: für bis zu sieben Feature-Teams ist dort nur EIN Product Owner und nur EIN Product Backlog (innerhalb einer Area) vorgesehen. Eike erklärt zunächst den Begriff des Feature-Teams und wie schwer es oft ist, für diese Idee in großen, bislang silo-artig organisierten Unternehmen Befürworter zu finden. Aber wenn es nur einen Product Owner in LeSS gibt - wie verhält es sich dann mit den Scrum Mastern? Wie viele Scrum Master sind z.B. in einer Area mit fünf Feature Teams sinnvoll? Im letzten Teil geht es nach dieser Herleitung dann ganz konkret um diese Product Owner Rolle in LeSS und welche Herausforderungen sie mit sich bringt. Eike Gehler gibt in diesem Zuge auch noch wertvolle Tipps für Menschen, die als Product Owner in LeSS arbeiten. Quellen zum sog. "Spotify-Model" und LeSS: - Die damalige Beschreibung von Henrik Kniberg und Anders Ivarsson der Skalierung bei Spotify... die dann als das Spotify-Model (miss)verstanden wurde: https://blog.crisp.se/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/SpotifyScaling.pdf - Spotify Engineering Culture, dieses Video wird üblicherweise als Video über das "Spotify-Model" referenziert: https://blog.crisp.se/2014/03/27/henrikkniberg/spotify-engineering-culture-part-1 - Henrik Kniberg: No, I didn't invent the Spotify model: https://blog.crisp.se/2015/06/07/henrikkniberg/no-i-didnt-invent-the-spotify-model - Heutige Sicht von Henrik Kniberg auf Scrum@Scale im Vergleich zum "Spotify-Model": https://www.scruminc.com/spotify-model-scrum-at-scale/ - Die offizielle Beschreibung von LeSS mit allen Details, die ihr über das (De)Skalierungs-Framework LeSS wissen müsst: https://less.works/ Wenn ihr mit Eike in Kontakt treten wollt, freut er sich über eure Nachricht auf folgenden Kanälen: Eike Gehler Mail : eike@aykey.de, LinkedIn (https://linkedin.com/in/eike-gehler-a2479968/) oder Web (https://aykey.de/) Telefon: 089 208044440 Im Zusammenhang mit dieser Episode ist auch die Folge 41 rund um Skalierung empfehlenswert: Product Owner im skalierten Umfeld mit Björn Schotte Welche Herausforderungen erlebt ihr selbst als Product Owner in LeSS oder Ansätzen die sich an das Spotify-Model anlehnen?

Wir haben schon öfters im Podcast das Thema Skalierung angerissen, also wie die Arbeit mit Scrum aussieht, wenn mehr als 10 Menschen bei der Produktentwicklung beteiligt sind. Nun sprechen wir mit dem Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) Trainer und Coach Robert Briese darüber wie man Scrum skalieren kann. Wir erklären unter anderem, was die Skalierung mit dem Unternehmen macht, wie man eine Skalierung in LeSS startet und werfen einen ersten Blick auf die Umsetzung von LeSS. Viel Spaß beim Hören.

This organization wanted to adopt LeSS, the Large Scale Scrum Framework. However, the leadership team had first tried to “push” the change through. Unsurprisingly, that did not go as expected, so they took a different approach. They got all the teams together, explained their vision and worked with the Scrum Masters to facilitate the change they were looking for. Listen in to learn how Ryan and his colleagues organized the new change process. In this episode, we refer to Lean Change Management, and David Marquet's work (David Marquet was a previous guest on the podcast). About Ryan Brook Ryan is a practicing Agile Coach and Scrum Master based in the UK. He is also the co-creator of Scrum Lake, a safe community of practice focused on story telling and deep exploration with Scrum Masters from around the World.

This week in New York City the Lower East Side is host to the 3rd Annual LeSS Conference. I stopped by the conference today and had the chance to sit down with Bas Vodde to talk about Large Scale Scrum and the annual event they hold to bring the coaches, trainers and practitioners of LeSS together. The LeSS Conference is not like a standard IT Conference. During the interview Bas explains how their approach to setting up and running the event focuses on letting the on-site attendees drive the content and work together to develop new tools, games, and techniques to help the growth, adoption and practice of Large Scale Scrum. If you aren’t familiar with LeSS, this interview will help you get an understanding of how this approach to scaling has a philosophy that aims to simplify things as much as possible in order to create greater understanding of what is blocking an organization from being able to truly adopt an agile approach to work. During the conversation we dig into what happens to the traditional portfolio and program view when you adopt LeSS and take a more product focused approach to work. We also discuss the difference between LeSS and LeSS Huge, which is designed to help organizations running upwards of 8 teams create products using agile.
