Todd and Ryan argue that measuring a scrum team's success should not be based solely on the number of story points completed per Sprint. Instead, they suggest considering factors such as the team's ability to innovate, deliver quickly, and fulfill outcome-oriented business objectives for the customer. Todd and Ryan warn against using busyness as a measure of success and emphasizes the importance of focusing on external outcomes. They suggest using a framework such as Evidence-Based Management (EBM) to measure success and incrementally increase Sprint by Sprint. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTrainingSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

This video is about the use of flow metrics in the Daily Scrum, a 15-minute time-boxed event where the scrum team gets together to plan their collaboration for the day and inspect their progress towards the Sprint goal. As a reminder, The four flow metrics are cycle time, throughput, WIP limits, and work item age. Prateek, Todd, and Ryan recommend using work item age and cycle time in the daily scrum, with work item age being the elapsed time between when work starts and the current time. The scrum team should clearly define work item age's starting and endpoints. Give these techniques a try, and let us know how it goes in the comment section. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTrainingSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.
