?? What is the single biggest reason behind conflict between a tech leader and their teams? ?? What tools might help them harness the power of their conflicts in service of better products? Here’s a conversation that introduces one of the favorite tools of our Chief Org Whisperer, Ravi Verma (PST, CPCC, CRP). #OrgWhisperers #Leadership #AgileTransformation

?? As a Product Owner, are you unintentionally encouraging a co-dependent relationship with your development team? Once the team starts sprinting, the primary stance?of an effective Product Owner would be to offer clarifications and context that might help the development team make informed decisions. The Product Owner’s clarifications should give the development team a decision-making framework that enables them to make decisions. This can help prevent?an unhealthy dependence between the development team and the Product Owner, freeing up more of the Product Owner’s energies for more strategic?challenges. ?? Is it time to set healthy boundaries with your development team to empower them to make their own decisions? #14Stances #ProductOwner #OrgWhisperers Ravi Verma (PST, CPCC, CRP)

?? Are you harnessing the full potential of your teams? Everyone has potential, but not all of our potential is harnessed. Through Org Whisperer's unique Agile training, coaching, and consulting, we discover the uncharted potential of people, creating joyful, successful, and resilient organizations.

Are you approaching your backlog scientifically? ?? Once the Product Owner has figured out how to compare and contrast backlog items based on risk and reward, she must now apply this approach to sequence experiments in the form of rank-ordered product backlog Items that test her hypotheses. This will?influence the sprint goals & the sprint backlog selected by the development team. #14Stances #OrgWhisperer #ProductOwner

Veterans, today we pause to honor and recognize the profound sacrifices you and your families have made to serve our country. We are deeply grateful for all that you've done and continue to do to protect our freedoms. Thank you for your dedication, today and every day. #VeteransDay2024 #Veterans Agile For Patriots

?? Last reminder! Don't miss ROI-Based Agile Coaching's in-person Meetup at Improving Dallas, tonight at 5:30. Org Whisperer, Ravi Verma (PST, CPCC, CRP), will discuss "Scrum 4 Profit! How to Make More Money, Save More Money & Reduce Risk With Scrum." #ValueDelivery #Scrum #OrgWhisperers

?? How is being a Product Owner similar to a circus? Managing the backlog is not trivial – it requires some very complex calisthenics including maximizing reward in the form of business value, controlling?uncertainty and risk, and being a judicious steward of company time and money. An effective Product Owner must be able to walk the tightrope - balancing risk and reward and resisting the temptation to focus exclusively on some attributes?of backlog items while excluding others. What experiences do you have balancing on this tightrope? #14Stances #ProductOwner #OrgWhisperers
