Scrum, Actually: Fixing the Daily Catch-Up

We called it a “daily catch-up.”It felt more like a group panic disguised as a status update.Nobody knew why we were doing it—just that we had to. Then I read the Scrum Guide.Turns out, we were doing it wrong. Here’s how we fixed it. The first time I experienced a Daily Scrum, I thought it was a job interview. Every day. For the same job. That I already had. At 9:30 AM, we’d gather like…

Workflows That Work: Bring Order, Focus, and Flow to Your Delivery

Workflows That Work don’t just happen. They’re designed—with clarity, intention, and a deep understanding of how value actually flows through a team. But let’s be honest. Too often, the workflow boards I see in software and digital product teams feel more like a visual mess than a helpful tool. Tickets pile up in ambiguous columns, blocked work is buried under layers of “in progress” confusion,…

In the rapidly advancing digital landscape, businesses are presented with unprecedented challenges and opportunities.

3. Implementing Agile Transformation

3.1 Leadership Support

Successful agile transformation requires buy-in and support from leadership at all levels of the organization. Leaders must champion the agile mindset, empower teams, and create an environment where experimentation and innovation are encouraged.

3.2 Cross-Functional Collaboration

Agile transformation breaks down silos and encourages cross-functional collaboration. By bringing together diverse perspectives and skill sets, organizations can foster creativity, problem-solving, and knowledge sharing.

4. Overcoming Challenges

4.1 Cultural Resistance

One of the biggest challenges of agile transformation is overcoming cultural resistance to change. Organizations must address mindset shifts, communication barriers, and fear of failure to create an environment conducive to agile practices.

4.2 Scaling Agile

As organizations grow and evolve, scaling agile becomes increasingly complex. It requires careful planning, coordination, and alignment across teams and departments to ensure consistency and effectiveness at scale.

Conclusion: Embracing Agility for Success

Agile transformation enables companies to navigate uncertainty, seize opportunities, and deliver value in a rapidly changing landscape.

Well tonight's practice did not fill me with confidence.

We treated runs like the real thing and had classmates in the ring. On our first run Forte broke his start line sit to circle the person who threw the piggy for him last week, looking for it.

It took an embarrassing effort to get him back.

Our second run he hit the contacts but blew through them instead of stopping for 2on2off. I went back each time and made him stop but it took several attempts.

And our last run was better in terms of performance but I was super anxious and the instructor called me out on sounding too stern. Which, fair. This is supposed to be a fun game we are playing together.

My plan is to not bring the piggy in from the car at all for the trial. I'm going to try to let go of any feelings of embarrassment and just figure we'll NQ.

It's an opportunity to practice in a different environment since I expect it will be far busier than practices. But at least it's at our club so there will be some familiarity.

At the end of the day, a Q is not more important than maintaining positivity both for Forte and for myself.

I am glad I only signed up for two runs a day and two days. I think trying for four runs in a day or three days, even with only two runs, would be too much for me.

This is a reminder to myself to take deep breaths and not let my anxiety get the better of me. We both enjoy playing agility and it would be foolish to sour it with putting too much pressure on either of us.

Rethinking Estimations in the Age of AI

Rethinking estimations in AI-driven processes has become essential in the fast-paced world of IT and software development. Estimations shape project timelines, budgets, and expectations, yet traditional practices often lead to inefficiency and frustration. In a previous post, I explored the #NoEstimates movement and its call to move beyond traditional estimation techniques. Here, I’ll dive deeper…

For a dog that doesn't practice agility she sure remembers a lot!

I do think we need to practice some handling exercises. She doesn't remember her directionals and her distance handling is pretty much gone. (gamblers did not happen at this trial!) I think we can practice with bars on ground exercises this winter.

I'm also rusty with my timing and cues. Yet I was very happy with both of her regular runs. She got two Qs and her YPS was still the fastest out of anyone in the open class, not just the ace senior class. (Which was just her)
