Agile has been a refreshing wind of change in the software development world. A very much needed one, actually. Yet, I believe these days a big part of the agile community is stuck in a cul-de-sac called the teams! What’s wrong with teams? Nothing really. Except that… they are just a model! A team is … Weiterlesen …

As you have probably noticed – in case you did not fall asleep while reading these pages – I am a strong believer in the solution focused approach and I wrote already several articles about it (see this and this and this).

I attended recently a meeting of project managers where „agile methods“ was the subject of the evening. In fact, the whole evening was about Scrum, with three presentations trying to frame Scrum as a project management method. On one side it was good to see Scrum getting visibile to an audience that normally reasons in … Weiterlesen …
So the definition of done of a Scrum team is sick and you, dear agile coach, are intervening on the team to get them to fix it. Easy, isn’t it? Either you tackle the issue during a retrospective or on in ad-hoc discussion, point out the symptoms, ask the team how they plan to fix … Weiterlesen …
During my presentation about Solution Focused work in Agile at XPDays Benelux I stated that asking „why“ in coaching can be dangerous and should be avoided. In a community where the Five Whys is actually one of the premier methods, I knew I was opening up for a lot of discussions. Exactly this happened and … Weiterlesen …
For various reasons since a few years ago Benelux was more an intermediate stop on a business trip rather than a real destination, but recently this has changed: after the Agile Open Holland in Baarn, about which I already wrote, I went again to that part of the world for an agile event: XPDays Benelux … Weiterlesen …
