When was the last time you made a BIG ASK? Yup, I bet it, making a small ASK is a good tester. Have you gotten stuck in tester mode though? You betcha, it is easy to talk a big game online. (Even though someof us can see through that BS quickly) AND that is not the point. What if making the BIG ASK was the difference between you and your business growing this quarter or not? Have you ever made a BIG ASK? What was it? Let’s play a game today and lift each other up with a success story.

Ever felt like your Product Backlog was a bit... stale? It might be missing some DEO. DEO can be defined as follows: 🔵 Detailed Appropriately: Prioritize clarity for top items while allowing lower-priority ones to be less defined. 🔵 Emergent: Encourage an evolving backlog that keeps your team adaptable and on their toes. 🔵 Ordered: An organized backlog ensures everyone stays focused on what's important. Don't let your Backlog become a chaotic mess. Make it a well-oiled machine with DEO. Swipe for more and drop your best Backlog management tips in the comments below. #ProductBacklog #ProductOwner #Agile

I am working with a scrum team and they insist that the testing of a user story cannot be completed in the same sprint as the development. I am curious how others deal with this, but it is an anti-pattern if we agree that a sprint is a time-boxed iteration during which a potentially shippable product increment is created. Splitting the development and testing across two sprints is leading to various problems, like: 👉 Decreased visibility and predictability 👉 Reduced ability to change direction 👉 Delayed value delivery 👉 Delayed feedback What should I do?

So ... back in '87, Kent kicked off the Patterns movement in IT. Then in '96-97, Kent kicked off the Agile movement with XP -- a blatantly patterns approach to software. Remembering HOW foundational patterns thinking is matters Try things. figure out things that work locally. Try more things. Figure out which things work in several places Write down the things that work in several different kinds of places ... Write it down as: Problem: This kind of problem Solution: This shape of solution Tradeoffs: Here's the wins AND losses from doing it this way It's worth reading his words about "future of Agile"

If you're wondering how to measure how successful your Scrum implementation is in your team, there are two things you can do. ⭐ Look at the team satisfaction and the stakeholder satisfaction. How? Feedback. Gather feedback from your team to gauge their morale. Use 1:1s and retrospectives. Gather input from stakeholders to ensure they get what they expect.
