Episode 37 - Agile Wants To Be Simple

Badass Agile

February 20, 2018

There’s so much focus on frameworks and subtlety of practice
- Frameworks - definitions of roles, processes, interactions, flows, inputs and outputs
- Subtleties - prescriptive techniques and tools
- Frameworks Don’t fix Fear. They attempt to compensate for it, and fail
- Frameworks are expensive. So are elite teams. We shouldn’t try to build them across an entire enterprise and
- Subtlety and Complexity really only feeds the cash register
I think we should focus on something more organic.
- Vision
- Courage
- Influence
- Focus
- High-Performance Teams
Focus on the fundamentals - the Agile Keys. The things that make great work no matter what arena
- Have a Vision
- Prioritize
- Do Focused Work
- Keep Promises
- Be Open about where you are
- Always Improve
Great Leadership, and the Will to Execute, come from the Gut
Frameworks are more safeguard than meaningful work. If you need safeguards, why not learn and build as you go?
In 6 months, would you rather roll out a safety framework, or product that works?
