Agile for Humans with Ryan Ripley and Todd Miller Agile for Humans, LLC

Todd and Ryan address a question about handling unplanned work that is not measured in Sprint planning and affects a team's predictability in meeting Sprint goals. They recommend holding back capacity back in Sprint planning to account for the unplanned work and plan realistically rather than at 100% capacity. They suggest cutting capacity in half if about half of the work in a Sprint is unplanned. They also caution against equating predictability with maintaining the same velocity or throughput and recommend measuring unplanned work transparently and gathering data on it.

The video discusses who should facilitate a Sprint review in a Scrum team. Todd and Ryan believe the Product Owner should be involved in the process to ensure the right stakeholders are present to adapt the product backlog. However, the Product Owner doesn't necessarily have to be the one facilitating the Sprint Review but should be responsible for sending invites and ensuring the right people are in attendance. The Sprint review is seen as an underserved event that provides an opportunity to adapt the product backlog.

The video discusses methods for identifying waste and workflow bottlenecks, particularly in lean principles. Ryan and Todd suggest using flow metrics to identify trends, running activities with teams to identify specific issues, and validating that input through visualizations. Balancing efficiency with effectiveness and keeping the customer in mind is also emphasized.

The video discusses how someone who took a break from being a Scrum Master to run a food delivery business can get back into the role. Ryan and Todd suggest not to expect to start as a Scrum Master immediately and to consider other paths that may lead back to the role. They also advise preparing a narrative to explain the gap in the resume and upgrading skills through additional education or community participation.

Andy asks whether all planned work by developers for a product must come from the product backlog. The answer is yes, assuming all developers work on the same product. However, problems arise when teams work on multiple things simultaneously. The product backlog items populate a Sprint backlog, which is then executed, leading to an increment.

We believe that organizations make mistakes by having agile coaches and scrum masters. The scrum master should be the agile coach of the organization, and creating separate hierarchies diminishes the role of the scrum master. We also believe that some organizations claim to use agile but have not actually changed anything. They suggest using evidence-based management to determine if agile is working and to drive a narrative based on the data rather than trying to make it fit a preconceived narrative. The use of data in conversations must be handled carefully and crafted with a narrative, goals, and strategy.
