Daily Flow - sterility, agility
June 16, 2021 20:46 - 10 minutes - 9.89 MBFor some, sterile is a good thing; it means safe and clean. For others, it's kind of lacking in fun. Kanban practitioners can often forget the human side; virtually beating people over the head with work item aging charts, and in doing so they "lose the dressing room". --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/agilityisland/message

June 15, 2021 06:57 - 10 minutes - 9.59 MBWork Item types are optional in Kanban Guide as per https://kanbanguides.org.

Daily Flow - how to handle UX/discovery on a Kanban Board?
June 15, 2021 06:46 - 17 minutes - 16.3 MBUser experience research (UX) when done in the same team as delivery is a nice way to go. User Interface(UI) work is only a subset for UX. If your UX folks are only producing UI widgets, someone has "lost the plot". Check out Giff Constable's Truth Curve at https://giffconstable.com/2013/06/the... . "Dual-track agile" is about blending discovery and delivery and lots of collaboration and understanding of each other. Check out David Denham's article at https://medium.com/@daviddenham07/dua......

June 11, 2021 08:40 - 8 minutes - 8.2 MBWhat is the direction of travel? Is it the same as a vision? What is a product goal? What is a sprint goal? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/agilityisland/message
Daily Flow - what's the smallest thing you can change?
June 08, 2021 20:48 - 10 minutes - 10 MBContinuous improvement is central to agility. People often feel overwhelmed about retrospective improvements. How about making peace with what we can actually do? How might we improve gradually without it hurting so much?

Daily Flow - your capacity is your throughput
June 05, 2021 06:57 - 15 minutes - 14.3 MBCapacity is a subjective thing. Effort estimation is more useful when we're not dependent on others because in that case, we would have less waiting time. As long as our work items are not elephant-sized, can we just use throughput to specify our capacity?
