Not everyone works the same way, which is why there are different work styles. There are those who prefer the morning for the heavy lifting, and others that can’t get started until the afternoon. Some work better in groups and others alone. Some live off long-term plans, while others execute in weekly sprints. As work evolves to include hybrid teams that are located in different places with a wide range of skill sets, successful businesses need to connect everyone to keep them productive.

Over the past decade, companies have embraced innovation with enthusiasm—Chief Innovation Officers have been hired, and in-house incubators, accelerators, and co-creation labs have been launched. CEOs have spoken with passion about “making everyone an innovator” and the need “to disrupt our own business.” But after years of experimentation, senior leaders are asking: Is this still just an experiment, or are we in it for the long haul?

Most everyone is probably happy to see 2020 go and has high hopes for a brighter 2021. But it’s undeniable that the changes that occurred over the last year aren’t going away. One example is the work-from-home trend. Even when conditions make returning to the office feasible, the genie of remote work isn’t back into the bottle.

Remember that Scrum is founded on empirical process control, and that adaptation is the third pillar, following transparency and inspection. Each of the Scrum accountabilities participates in one or more adaptations. If you feel that something needs to be adapted to any aspect of your initiative, check who could best start taking action. . ?? Adaptation is making adjustments in order to minimise any deviations to acceptable limits related to agreed goals. .
