Reflecting on the Impact of the Manifesto ??
Happy 22nd Anniversary to the Agile Manifesto! In response to the rigid software development practices of the early 2000s, a group of 17 developers gathered to find new, better, ways of working. Today, its influence extends beyond tech, aligning all types of teams to collaborate and focus on continuous improvement.
Listen to the story of this historic meeting at Snowbird in Utah directly from Dr. Jeff Sutherland, a signatory of this artifact and the father of the Scrum framework. Learn the motive and thought behind the manifesto and the principles. See how its influence continues to shape industries and drive innovation today.?
Implementing a Dual-Operating System with Scrum@Scale ???
Successful dual-operating systems combine the best work practices. There is the stability and predictability of traditional management practices (the hierarchy) with the innovation, speed, and rapid value creation delivered by Agile teams (the network). Incorporating both a traditional hierarchy and a network requires much more than a delineation of responsibilities. Known stable interfaces like the Executive MetaScrum and Executive Action Team allow the network and hierarchy to efficiently communicate, prioritize, collaborate, and align.??

10 个月There is a lot to add about the Agile Manifesto discussed in the Agile Navigator. In leanpub.com/firstprinciplesinscrum I recently completely rewrote the chapter on responding to change over following a plan. New findings in physics and neuroscience show the Signatories of the Agile Manifesto were more profound thinkers than we give them credit for. Here is the new chapter: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1t4sv4ukBDPCpsk2xhHbXB3k2ZElqOonjXEQuv4nfYvA/edit?usp=sharing
