What do you do with planning cadences? But what they’re really doing was like scrum with technical practices and things like that, I ever more aligned, it felt like to me was Scrum. I mean, everybody’s like very familiar with Agile and Scrum and things like that but I wouldn’t call them agile coaches per se.

And so if you show up and like you say, “Hey, I want to adopt Agile,” but you know, you’re not familiar with the strategies or Agile governance strategies or such, right? So, you think SAFE, Large-Scale Scrum maybe, although I don’t know that fits in that category, Scrum as a model, XP as a model, and things like that.

They did a great job of getting the message out Scrum and the Scrum certification did a great job of getting the message out. Does it mean that we start Doing Scrum, right? Because those are the things that fundamentally get in the way how we govern, right, how we deal with cross cutting concerns.

And what that means to us is not just teaching people how to do agile or how to do kind of methodologies in this space like say for Scrum or what have you but really like how to create the kinds of organizations that really can do agile really well and really effectively at scale. They’re not thinking often about like team level Scrum.

I wasn’t around when things like XP and Scrum were invented, but I have been lucky enough to spend time with many of the original signers of the Manifesto. That having weekly planning cadences; daily standups, reviews, and retrospectives would give people a reason to get in the same room and collaborate. Why is it so difficult?

Agile is an incremental and iterative approach for developing software products. The most common small team Agile methodologies are Scrum and XP, maybe Kanban, or a combination of the three. Scrum focuses more on management activities. XP focuses more on technical practices and software craftsmanship.

The Scaled Agile Framework wasn’t exactly what the authors of the Agile Manifesto imagined 20 years ago when they set out to define a better way of building software. It requires the ability to continuously deploy software, to continuously get feedback on it. They don’t have lightweight governance. It requires a co-located team.

So we start with culture, maybe we go to practices and then all those teaming strategies and dependencies and governance and metrics and all that stuff that we struggle with all the time will just kind of work itself out. So everybody here, probably a lot of our scrum masters are that way. So think about scrum.

And I was working for this VP that was like really super cool, is very into agile and we were coming up with really creative things for like team formation strategies and agile governance, all stuff. If you just do Scrum, you’ll get the goodness out of it. I don’t mean Scrum. It was just why agile fails.
