Hi community, as a product owner I am currently in a situation I need some input/help with. The team is quite inhomogenous regarding skill level. One of the devs is easily outperforming the rest of the team due to their experience but also their mindset and ability to tackle new issues and unknown situation. The big drawback now is that this person is quite toxic in their behaviour. For example, if someone makes a mistake or doesnt understand a task or problem the first time, the dev rages and questions the others intelligence. I receive feedback from the rest of the team, that they feel inti ..read more

I’m ever so slowly assembling a team that can do LACE things within my organization. We offer talks on agile topics, host various skill building workshops, and other things. On the horizon, I’ll need to convince leadership that they should give us a little more leeway in growing out our operation. I’ve already begun gathering impact to showcase how we’re helping out. But, I’m always looking for more ways to get buy-in from leadership! submitted by /u/Fluggems [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello, I’m a front end dev working with developing an app at a quite large company. The company also have a web platform offering the same services as the app. The workplace I’m at says that working there is a bit like a “choose your own adventure”, I’ve seen other employees change direction within the company becoming manager or POs etc. I would like to start working towards becoming an agile coach but I’m not sure where to start. I know the very basics of it but I need to learn more. I’ve been looking at certifications, not sure they matter but I have a feeling it will help me aim for somet ..read more

One of the reasons I left Germany this year, after living there for 8 years. Salaries just seem to be getting lower overall in the EU, also in the Agile space. I am now back in Australia, where I am from, earning 25% higher at mid level, with massive room for growth and more senior positions. https://preview.redd.it/rlgywopvnfwc1.png?width=388&format=png&auto=webp&s=f53dcab3f1a4f30df606a2aa5f3c9de325d9f262 submitted by /u/cataids69 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

My doubt is related to the beginning of a project where it is intended to use agile methodology - it can be SCRUM or another. What happens before sprint number 1? For example, let’s say I’m going to start a project for an app for issuing invoices for bookstores all over the country. Even if someone brings all aspects such as required fields, taxes calculations, freight, interaction flows, etc., there comes a time when we have tasks inherent to software development like: Choosing the language and/or frameworks, data structures and database design, macro architecture design (system design), etc ..read more

Has anyone done an IC Agile cert? I’m in management consulting, and looking to do some certifications to boost my resume and project management skills. Considering doing the IC AGILE ICP or the business agility one—-has anyone done this cert? Is it a good certification for a novice/beginner in agile/scrum? Or is it not worth it at all? Anyone do this IC AGILE cert, or any other? submitted by /u/Lionel_Messi2028 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

TL;DR: In my decade-long software career, I've rarely seen teams execute sprints as described in Agile literature—a single clear, demoable goal per sprint. Have you encountered teams that achieve this, and if so, how sustainable was it over time? My understanding of the intention of a sprint is: the whole team is working toward a specific goal, something that they can demo and use as a checkpoint to help determine what’s most important to do next. In this world, my understanding is there would typically be one (maybe two) projects the whole team is working on collectively. Having several peop ..read more
