Imposed artificial deadlines are about power and manipulation, not getting work done. If an iteration/Sprint defines a deadline, you're working in a sweatshop, not an Agile org. Any company that's doing that is in deep trouble, trouble that actual Agile could help fix. 1/4

Usually when people blame Command and Control in fact the problem is a push system and an abusive environment. Not the same stuff.

I've been using this trilemma based prioritization discussion process with good impact. It's quickly clear that just prioritizing using "value" gives an ineffective order. Perishable things jump the queue anyway; valuable things get immediately blocked because they aren't doable

“Delivering faster” is good for two primary reason: (1) it increases the frequency and quantity of feedback. If devs can’t get that feedback (e.g. can’t talk to customers), then delivering faster does you no good at all. 1/

I got multiple requests from people who "heard" that there's an online version of TWiG available. It's not a secret :-) Yes, there is: leanability.actionableagile.… The fabulous @danvacanti made it happen, and he even integrated his excellent analytics software ActionableAgile into it.

What are some reasons we can’t forecast properly? 1. Start date uncertainty 2. The assumption that “size” of work is the main contributor to lead-time (when it's idleness) 3. Over-utilization – people not working on what you think they are, but totally busy 4. Dependencies...

The Kanban Method helps teams manage their workflows more efficiently but relying on the board alone isn’t going to help you achieve a stable process. In this infographic, we’ll be explaining how to stabilize your workflow with the cumulative flow diagram. bit.ly/2EuHOex

OH: "How can the #Kanban Method claim to be evolutionary when introducing something like Visualization or WIP limits can result in 'big' change or itself be a big change!?" Don't mistake 'evolutionary steps' for 'small steps'. Evolutionary change can be punctuated and profound.
