    #9 - Establishing Effective Agile Teams

    "Establishing Effective Agile Teams" by Ben Linders at www.BenLinders.com Episode 9 of the Agile Software Development podcast where we talk about ways in which you can develop effective agile teams. We cover some of the fundamental guiding principles for establishing effective teams, those set out in the agile manifesto, and we've pick up several more that include belonging, psychological safety and trust. As Ben points out - 'imposing change on people isn't just ineffective, it's also unethical and inhuman'. Quite a statement but there's a lot to be said for encouraging your agile teams to travel their own agile journey. If you're interested in learning more building your agile teams then Ben runs various workshops, training, and webinars. You'll find more details about these at https://www.benlinders.com/services/

    #7 - Daddy, Where Do Product Backlog Items Come From?

    "Daddy, Where Do Product Backlog Items Come From?" by Chris Sims from https://agilelearninglabs.com/   In Episode 7 of the Agile Software Development podcast we're delving in to some of the concepts behind the "product back log" with a post from Chris Sims. Chris takes us back to some fundamentals as we talk about the Product Backlog.    Now every Agile team will have their own, slightly different, approach to managing the back log. What I like about Chris' approach is the simplicity and the clarity. Managing the inbound requests with the Protobacklog and pushing the rejected items to the Icebox.  For those lucky enough to make it to the backlog we're organising by order, work estimates, and value estimates.   If topics like 'work estimates' and 'Business value estimates', intrigue you, you might be interested in learning more from Chris with one of his Certified Scrum Product Owner or Advanced Certified Scrum Product Owner workshops.

    #6 - Imperfect Agile or Fit for Purpose

    "Imperfect Agile or Fit for Purpose?" by James King from https://kingsinsight.com/   “Why batch value when you can deliver it continually?” - James King   In this episode James King takes us through some of his thoughts around the philosophy of value and patterns for 'agile release approaches'. We cover a bit of philosophy around Kanban lacking a bit of imagination and being a bit self-absorbed and then we get to the point. Or rather three ideas around the patterns we can look to recognize, and practices we might want to move towards.   We also find out how James' fitness instructor's mantra applies to agile. That mantra being, "Small amounts of effort applied consistently will eventually overcome large burst of effort applied sporadically". You'll find numerous hidden gems in this episode in the way of quotes from James.   What you'll also find useful from this episode is the list of tools, approaches and techniques that James has collated. Resources covering topics like 'Defining the purpose of the team' and 'games to help people learn agile'. You'll find this invaluable list on his web site at https://kingsinsight.com/kings-guide-links-to-tools-and-approaches-in-this-blog/

Firstly, Estimations (or rather not estimating), Secondly experimenting with collaboration and lastly starting to collaborate to stop starting and . . . . start finishing.   If you'd like to learn more about these techniques and other insightful techniques then I'd recommend reading Johanna's book       Create Your Successful Agile Project: Collaborate, Measure, Estimate, Deliver   In this book Johanna espouses working from agile and lean principles to design and build your own agile approach in a way that works for you. If you’ve tried to use an off-the-shelf approach to agile, and you've found aspects lacking, then this book is for you.
