YDS: Do Most Scrum Teams Have a Sprint Goal?

In this video, Ryan and Todd discuss the importance of having a clear Sprint goal in Scrum teams. While it is common for teams not to have a Sprint goal, lacking a goal suggests a lack of alignment on higher-level goals, such as a product or a strategic goal. The speaker suggests defining a product goal and creating a clear, concise, concrete step towards achieving it in the Sprint. Clear goals are essential as they drive behavior and measurement in an office environment.  ⏩ 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.

YDS: Can Scrum Teams Work Overtime to Reach a Sprint Goal?

Ryan and Todd discuss whether it is acceptable for Scrum teams to work overtime to reach a Sprint goal. They believe working overtime can be okay if the Scrum Team misses something significant during Sprint Planning. However, it should not become a regular occurrence, as studies have shown that overtime can negatively impact quality and morale. They suggest that if overtime becomes excessive, the team should focus on product backlog refinement and their Sprint Planning practices.

YDS: Coaching a Product Owner Who Doesn't Know Scrum

Todd and Ryan are asked how to coach a new Product Owner without knowledge of Scrum. They recommend sending the Product Owner to their free Scrum Framework 101 course on YouTube to get a good grounding in Scrum. Once the Product Owner has learned the mechanics of Scrum, the speaker suggests discussing how every aspect of Scrum can help the Product Owner develop, create, release, and turn a profit on a product. They also recommend focusing on the three V's of product ownership: Vision, Value, and Validation. They suggest building a clear vision, understanding value propositions, managing stakeholders, and validating the product through scientific methods. Ryan emphasized the importance of building a good relationship with the Product Owner and being a great partner.

YDS: How Do I Bring Agility to a Regulated Environment?

Todd and Ryan suggest that in a heavily regulated environment such as defense, automation of testing and validation can help increase agility. They also recommend standardizing processes and inviting compliance and legal teams to scrum events to keep them informed and plan for approvals and phase gates. Todd mentioned that feedback may be delayed in a highly regulated environment, such as building software for submarines. Still, it is essential to continue to validate and assess the product's value, even if it is later on. ⏩ 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.

YDS: Does Throughput Have Similar Issues Seen with Velocity?

Ryan and Todd discuss the potential issues with using the throughput metric in agile development. They express the concern that comparing throughput between teams could lead to manipulation and abuse, just like with velocity and story points. Ryan and Todd suggest that a probabilistic forecast would be a better approach instead of a deterministic forecast. They argue that the community should embrace flow metrics as a better alternative to traditional metrics, like velocity and story points, and avoid the anti-patterns that come with those metrics. ⏩ 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.

YDS: How Do Flow Metrics in the Sprint Retrospective Work?

Todd, Prateek, and Ryan discuss using flow metrics in the Sprint Retrospective. They mention that flow metrics are usually associated with data analysis and may not be immediately relevant to team improvement. Still, they believe that these metrics could be helpful in this context. They discuss the use of cycle time, throughput, item aging, and WIP limits and how they could be used to monitor progress and identify issues within the team. ⏩ 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 F 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.

YDS: How Can Quarterly Planning and EBM Goals Work Together?

Todd and Ryan discuss aligning evidence-based management (EBM) goals with quarterly planning. They suggest that goals should live outside the boundaries of quarterly planning but that placing targets can still motivate them. They also mention that in EBM, there are three levels of goals: strategic (long-term), intermediate (near-term), and tactical (short-term). They suggest that intermediate goals, with a three-to-six month horizon, are a good fit for quarterly planning but that plans should be evaluated and adjusted quarterly. They also mention that EBM is about empirically evaluating different goal horizons and constantly asking if the goals are reasonable. Ryan and Todd also suggests that EBM can inform and nudge planning to happen more frequently. ⏩ 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.

YDS: How do Scrum.org and ProKanban.org Classes Compare?

The video compares the Scrum.org and ProKanban.org classes. The critical difference between the two courses is that the PSK (Professional Scrum with Kanban) includes both Scrum and Kanban concepts, while the Professional Kanban only focuses on Kanban. The AMP (Applying Metrics for Predictability) and PAL-EBM (Evidence-Based Management) are two different frameworks and classes. The AMP focuses on time-to-market metrics, while PAL-EBM is a broader framework for evidence-based management. The two classes work well together but are distinct and different. ⏩ 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.

YDS: How Do Flow Metrics in the Sprint Review Work?

Todd, Prateek, and Ryan discuss using flow metrics in the Sprint Review. The four flow metrics, throughput, cycle time, item work age, and whip limits, are defined at the beginning of the video. The Sprint Review is a collaborative discussion about the product, and stakeholders such as customers, users, buyers, and internal executives are present to assess the value and give feedback. The conversation focuses on how to maximize value and what to do next. Throughput is the primary flow metric in the Sprint Review event. The stakeholders use probabilistic forecasting to assess the risk and make decisions based on the forecast, discussing which items can be dropped or switched around. The discussion aims to manage stakeholders' expectations and level set their expectations. Finally, the video stresses the importance of continuous flow metric assessment and sharing of new and greater risks. ⏩ 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.
