Even though many are using agile methods, not all are seeing big returns from their investment. David Hussman shares his experiences and describes a short assessment that identifies both strengths and weaknesses in your use of agile methods. Creating an assessment helps you examine the processes you are using, why you are using them, and if they are providing real value.

Planning to Learn and Learning from Delivery: Scrum, Kanban, and Beyond
NEW

Planning is a tool and, like all tools, can be used for good or ill. Too much planning can be wasteful; too little planning can breed chaos. Successful teams gravitate toward “just enough planning.” Building on his years of coaching XP, Scrum, kanban, and lean, David Hussman pragmatically describes planning that promotes early and continuous learning. He details how to collaboratively create plans that allow teams to continuously measure, learn, and pivot.
