Chapter 3 describes the Providing Performance Circle.  Providing is all about the logistics and the culture of the organization. If I were drawing a Venn Diagram, providing and leading (Chapter 2) have a significant overlap.   Remember, buy a copy and read along.  This week’s installment can be found at www.tomcagley.com/blog Previous installments: Week 1: Re-read Logistics and Front Matters - https://bit.ly/3mgz9P6  Week 2: The API Is Broken - https://bit.ly/2JGpe7l Week 3: Performance Circle: Leading - https://bit.ly/2K3poWy    Next SPaMCAST The next Software Process and Measurement Cast will feature our interview with Ted Harrington, author of  HACKABLE: How to Do Application Security Right. Security is not something that you can easily remedy after the fact - it needs to be part of the conversation before you write one line of code. Ted provides insights for developers, C-level executives, and product owners. If you have not bought a copy buy two copies (https://amzn.to/386w7Hr), one for you and one for your boss.

When should you use Scrum? Kanban? Maybe even DevOps? You don’t have to choose: Scrum Teams improve when they look at flows inside and outside their Sprints from a Lean/Kanban perspective. In this episode of Ask a Professional Scrum Trainer originally recorded on September 5, 2019, PST Yuval Yeret answered the audience's Kanban/Flow/Scrum questions.

The subtitle of this chapter is a fair summary of the ideas in the chapter: how to turn crucial conversations into action and results. Let’s face it if you don’t do anything with what you learn in a crucial conversation you are wasting a lot of value.

Crucial Conversations has two more chapters and an afterword left which means we have approximately three weeks to choose what we will read next. I am going to try something a little different this time by focusing on books I’ve read in late 2019 early 2020 and that I carry around with me when I am working. One exception is the inclusion of the runner up from our last poll. If you do not have a copy or have tossed it at someone during a crucial conversation, it is time to buy a copy.

Just because you are meeting remotely doesn’t mean meeting culture has been reset.   We will also return to the QA Corner with Jeremy Berriault.

In dieser Episode bereichern wir Dich mit einem wundervoll inspirierendem Gespräch mit Marc Nilsson über unseren Traum einer Unternehmenskultur. Marc blickt auf eine jahrelange Erfahrung mit vielen Outsourcing und Change Projekten zurück. Er steht für eine agile Kultur, für das WARUM, für Lean Kanban, für eine Kultur, die es uns erlaubt Dinge auszuprobieren, neue Wege zu gehen, Fehler zuzulassen und das Wissen und die Kraft der Gruppe zu nutzen. Seine Leidenschaft ist es in Unternehmen die Rahmenbedingungen zu schaffen, um unsichtbare Wissensarbeit sichtbar zu machen, vorhandenes Silodenken aufzulösen und Menschen Mut zuzusprechen, die notwendigen Veränderungen mit Spaß und Eigenmotivation umzusetzen. Es geht nämlich nicht darum, die Menschen und die Arbeit zu managen, sondern es geht darum, die Systeme zu gestalten, in denen sie arbeiten können. Das ist der große Unterschied. Wir sprechen über ...

Wir haben ins Bücherregal gegriffen und 6 tolle Bücher herausgesucht, die uns einen enormen Mehrwert gegeben haben.

In dieser Folge geben wir Dir einen kurzen Einblick in die Bücher: 1. PEOPLEWARE (engl.) oder WIEN WARTET AUF DICH (de) von Tom DeMarco und Timothy Lister 2. STORYTELLING: MIT GESCHICHTEN ÜBERZEUGEN von Gregor Adamczyk 3. DRIVE – Was Sie wirklich motiviert von Daniel H. Pink 4.

BILDSPRACHE von Petra Nitschke Unbedingt bis zum Ende anhören! Es gibt einen Lostopf mit einer sensationellen Überraschung

#11.2 Hier kommt die zweite Episode mit einem spannenden Teilnehmer des Personal Brand Mastery-Workshops. MIt Marc Nilsson spreche ich über die Zeitdiebe, die uns daran hindern die wirklich wichtigen Dinge zu tun. Er erläutert uns, wie uns Lean Kanban helfen kann, die zeitlichen Engpässe zu identifizieren und warum wir auch mal aufhören sollten, immer wieder Neues zu starten   Shownotes Buchtipp von Marc: Making Work Visible von Dominica Degrandis Lies, was Marc über sich selbst sagt: Seit über 20 Jahren habe ich zunächst als Microsoft und Citrix System Engineer und später als zertifizierter Projektmanager eine Vielzahl von IT Projekten sowohl für KMU als auch für Global Player umgesetzt. Meine Leidenschaft für die Lean Kanban Methoden und Mindesets  entbrannte durch die Erfahrungen, die ich in den letzten Jahren durch viele Outsourcing und Change Projekte gesammelt habe. Ich kenne sowohl die Herausforderungen auf der IT Operational als auch auf der Business Seite. Dabei habe ich oft erlebt, das vorhandenes Silodenken und mangelhaftes Verständnis zwischen den unterschiedlichen Interessengruppen zu großen Problemen und Frustration geführt hat. Ich habe  viele Veränderungsinitiativen gesehen, die von oben vorgegeben wurden, ohne die Menschen abzuholen und deswegen nicht funktioniert haben. Mein Beitrag ist es in Unternehmen die Rahmenbedingungen zu schaffen, indem ich helfe die unsichtbare Wissensarbeit sichtbar machen, vorhandenes Silodenken auflöse und Menschen dazu ermutige, die notwendigen Veränderungen mit Spaß und Eigenmotivation umzusetzen. Ich trete für eine Kultur ein , die es uns erlaubt Dinge auszuprobieren, neue Wege zu gehen, Fehler zulässt und die Macht der Gruppe nutzt uns jeden Tag ein Stück besser zu machen und somit den besten möglichen Nutzen für unsere Kunden zu erreichen.

"Starting work doesn't generate value, starting work only costs money. Finishing work generates value." - Klaus Leopold First, there was personal productivity. Then, everyone started talking about Agile teams. Today, it's time to take it even higher. In this episode of the Lamp, we are talking about business alignment with Klaus Leopold. Klaus is an experienced computer scientist and a well-known Kanban pioneer - he was one of the first Lean Kanban trainers and coaches worldwide. He is the author of books Practical Kanban, Kanban in IT and co-author of Kanban Change Leadership. Today on the podcast, Klaus is sharing with us his passion for establishing lean business agility that goes beyond teams. Business alignment and coordination might be one of the biggest challenges any leader faces. In this episode, you'll learn how to enable your teams and your whole organization to do the right work at the right time using the concept of Flight Levels. Team performance vs Business Agility We often think we need to have agile teams in our business so they would deliver projects faster. But that's the wrong lever.  What should we optimize in business to speed up the overall delivery time? How to take the right decisions on the right levels. Individual performance vs Team performance vs Company performance Understanding the difference between team Kanban and Portfolio Kanban When you fly high, you don't see much detail. When you fly low, you can't see the bigger picture How to ensure the right team is working on the right stuff at the right time How to optimize cross-team collaboration for value delivery The impact of levers you can use is greater at higher levels of your organization. But if the lever doesn't solve your problem, it doesn't matter how strong it is. Business agility is not about the power of the lever. It's not about the performance of individuals, not about team performance, not even about product performance. It's all about company performance. First, company, then products, then teams, then individuals. But it's the company that has to improve. Contact with our guest: Twitter LinkedIn

ScrumDo is a tool that supports online Scrum and Scrumban, a combination of Agile and Lean Kanban on top of Scrum. I speak with Co Founder, Marc Hughes, about how his company uses ScrumDo to build ScrumDo! We discuss the benefits of having a flexible organization that can shrink and expand according to the available work, staying aligned with colleagues from all over the world, and why it’s so important to keep teams small and hire only the best.

Software Process and Measurement Cast 310 features our interview with Mike Burrows. This is Mike’s second visit to the Software Process and Measurement Cast.  In this visit we discussed his new book, Kanban from the Inside (Kindle).  The book lays out why Kanban is a management method built on a set of values rather than just a set of techniques. Mike explains why Kanban leads to better outcomes for projects, managers, organizations and customers! Mike is the UK Director and Principal Consultant at David J Anderson and Associates. In a career spanning the aerospace, banking, energy and government sectors, Mike has been a global development manager, IT director and software developer. He speaks regularly at Lean/Kanban-related events in several countries and his book Kanban from the Inside (Kindle)was published in September. Mike’s email is mike@djaa.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/asplake and @KanbanInsideBlog is http://positiveincline.com/index.php/about/UK Kanban conference: http://lkuk.leankanban.com/Kanban conference series: http://conf.leankanban.com/ Next SPaMCAST 311 features our essay on backlog grooming. Backlog grooming is an important technique that can be used in any Agile or Lean methodology. At one point the need for backlog grooming was debated, however most practitioners now find the practice useful. The simplest definition of backlog grooming is the preparation of the user stories or requirements to ensure they are ready to be worked on. The act of grooming and preparation can cover a wide range of specific activities and can be performed at any time). In the next podcast we get into the nuts and bolts of making your backlog better! Upcoming Events DCG Webinars: Agile Risk Management – It Is Still Important! October 24, 2014 11:230 EDT Has the adoption of Agile techniques magically erased risk from software projects? Or, have we just changed how we recognize and manage risk?  Or, more frighteningly, by changing the project environment through adopting Agile techniques, have we tricked ourselves into thinking that risk has been abolished?   Upcoming Conferences: I will be presenting at the North East Quality Council 60th Conference October 21st and 22nd in Springfield, MA. More on all of these great events in the near future! I look forward to seeing all SPaMCAST readers and listeners that attend these great events!

Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 272.  The SPaMCAST 272 features my interview with Jeff Anderson.  We talked about The Lean Change Method and the book of the same title! Jeff's Bio: My mission in life is to help technology knowledge workers be awesome at what they do. Having been in the market since 1994, I have harnessed my initial passion for agile software engineering to provide advisory services to clients that want to thrive in a world of market uncertainty and continuous learning.  Over the last several years I have been running Deloitte LEAN, an Agile/Lean transformation service to help clients embrace the knowledge economy.  Our service offering has evolved from coaching teams with agile, to end to end transformation of IT using Lean/Kanban, to now coaching businesses to embrace Lean Startup thinking. I admit to am unbridled enthusiasm for any method that bring creativity and joy to the value creation process. A big part of my job is the synthesis of leading edge thinking into contextualized, practical tools.

Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 264 The Software Process and Measurement Cast 264 features my interview with Alexei Zheglov.  We discussed lean, work-in-process limits and flow. A summary of Alexei's bio from LinkedIn . . . How does value flow through your knowledge-work organization? The reality for many knowledge-work organizations today is, not very well. Therefore, we need to design, evolve, discover and help better systems of work emerge. Alexei's present drive and ability to help guide people to those better ways go back to his programming since the 80s (professionally since the 90s), mastering many practices and discovering manyproblems and solutions. It was more than 10 years ago that I created my first test doubles and human-readable acceptance tests. He was in the engineering trenches of a lean startup long before there was such a term. Alexei doesn't "roll out" "methodologies." He draws from a large number of approaches - such as Kanban (and, by extension, many innovations rapidly created by the global Lean/Kanban community). A3 Thinking, Agile software engineering practices, and others - to discover solutions to problems and to help people learn and see why and how something we do is an improvement. Alexei has actively contributed to the Agile/Lean community in his part of the world over the last several years, emerged as an influencer at Canadian open-space Agile Coach Camps (2010-2013), organized and presented at many user group meetings, and spoke at larger forums such as Agile India 2012, Agile New England, AgileDC and three Canadian AgileTours: Montreal, Toronto, and Ottawa. He was one of the translators of the Stoos Communique in January 2012 and founded my region's Limited WIP Society chapter later that year to facilitate learning of the Kanban method and how Lean works in knowledge-work fields in general. His specialties include: Agile and Lean software development. How Lean works in knowledge-work fields. Agile technical practices. Kanban. Personal Kanban. Lean Startup. Systems thinking. Cynefin.

In this episode an interview with Don Reinertsen. We speak with Don about topics from his book The Principles of Product Development Flow - Second Generation Lean Product Development. We talk about Lean principles in the context of manufacturing and product development, and how these apply to software development. Don explains how variability is important for innovation, and how reduction in batch sizes and queues will improve flow. We discuss the economic model and the focus on quality vs utility. Don also discusses agile software methods like Scrum and Kanban and how they use some of the principles of product development. Don was in the Netherlands for the Lean & Kanban 2011 Benelux conference. His keynote 'Is It Time to Rethink Deming' can be viewed here courtesy of @agileminds. Read more from Don on the Reinertsen & Associates website. On twitter he is @dreinertsen. This interview was recorded on the 27th of September 2011 at the TouchDown Center in Haarlem.

David Anderson is thoughtleader on the subject of Kanban. He is the founder of the Lean Software & Systems Consortium and helped to create the Limited WIP Society. His latest book is the subject of this Podcast, which is called: Kanban, Successful Evolutionary Change For Your Technology Business. You can follow David on twitter via @agilemanager. In this episode we talk with David on his shift from the Theory of Constraints to Kanban and the benefits of visualizing the workflow and limiting Work-in-Progress. We discuss several aspects from his latest book and talk about the people and books that inspired him to write this book. David also shares his knowledge and experiences on Feature Driven Development. This Podcast was recorded in Antwerp at the Lean & Kanban 2010 Europe conference. Links for this podcast The Lean term originates from the book: The Machine That Changed the World, by James Womack, Daniel Jones and Daniel Roos. David's previous book: Agile Management for Software Engineering. Why people fail at multitasking, a short movie. 'Maintenance typically consumes about 40 to 80 percent (60 percent average) of software costs. Therefore, it is probably the most important life cycle phase.' - a quote from an article called Frequently Forgotten Fundamental Facts about Software Engineering by Robert Glass. Feature Driven Development came out as an evolution from the book Object Oriented Analysis from Peter Coad and the project management method of Jeff De Luca. It was first described in the book Java Modeling In Color. Order the game getKanban here. The Deming System of Profound Knowledge is one of the models that David mentions as a tool to improve.
