You can find the Agile and Transformation Posts for this week grouped in this post...
Don't forget to follow the?#loaymohamed ?to get all news and updates, "just click on it, then press follow"...
In this Newsletter, we will talk about...
When someone who hasn't done Agile before, Tells you they could do it easily. ??
It's funny to hear that, and I realize that there are some people who still have traditional approaches, and they think that way.
However, those who know how transformation journeys look, will be like the two people in this picture ??
As Scrum Guide mentions "Scrum is simple" ??
What do you think?!
"Estimates are not deadlines"
#mindset ?#transformation ?Most Project Managers while they're transforming from a Command-and-control approach (CAC) to Enabling and Empowering (EAE) approach.
They used to have a fixed "budget, planning, duration, and scope.
In agile, we used estimates as an evaluation of the expected effort for the development tasks or work, not as a deadline.
When it comes to transforming your organization and enabling Agile, make sure to read up on estimations and planning in Agile before forcing any deadlines on your teams.

When you are in the interview and someone asks you about Agile...
"I don't know what Agile is, and at this point, I'm too afraid to ask"
First, let the interviewer answer that question, you'll be able to notice how agile they are already in the organization from his/her answers.
Ask to understand how can they define or explain Agile there.
What is a scrum roadmap?
A scrum product roadmap visualizes upcoming sprints in your product development workflow. When juggling multiple initiatives, it can be difficult to keep track of which projects will be tackled during each sprint cycle. A scrum roadmap gets everyone on the same page, and makes it easy to communicate which projects are currently in process. Use a scrum roadmap to plan and track sprints, and bring transparency to your product management processes.
Agile Product Roadmap Template
This easy-to-use?#Agile ?product roadmap template is ideal for keeping tabs on the status and progress of product-related components. Schedule feature-development details for product, development, user experience, and quality assurance teams to prioritize key initiatives and present the big picture of expected deliverables. This Agile-specific template helps your team stay focused on brief development iterations and enables you to perpetually improve your product.?

Agile Teams "How Sprints Look Like"
Round 1 -->> Sprint Planning "Discoveries" Dev & QA
Round 2 -->> Sprint Week 1 "Smash"
Round 3 -->> Sprint Week 2 "Hunt"
Round 4 -->> Sprint Review "The honeymoon"
How close is it to your sprint and team harmonization??? ♂?
Agile or Waterfall?
And after no decision, the product or the project is dead...
The key stakeholders they must decide during the building of the business case to realize and clarify the way to go with the project by realizing the benefits and the winning goals, not to use or select an approach, which will impact the product or project outcomes, and made it like in the infinity loop with no end or value to deliver.

Agile?is simple - it just isn't easy...
- We need to understand that one size doesn't fit for all.
- We need to realize that not all customers need the same solution.
- We need to understand that the successful?#product ?that the customer or end user will be using it.
- We must understand that?#building ?a product that no one needs is a waste.
- Finding out the reasons behind building our product and setting our goals is important, before and during building it.
The Daily Stand-up
"Can't remember what I did yesterday, but I'm quite positive that today I'll continue working on that".
When you just fix a few questions, but the main reason for using them is just to answer them, the team does not look at the value and goal of the stand-up.
Being Agile is different from doing Agile.
Why pregnant ladies are not Agile??
What do you mean by《"Release Early/Release Often"》???? "Nevermind" it's my mistake...??

The Fibonacci Numbers Hiding in Strange Spaces
FOURTEEN YEARS AGO,?the mathematicians?Dusa McDuff?and?Felix Schlenk?stumbled upon a hidden geometric garden that is only now beginning to flower. The pair were interested in a certain kind of oblong shape, one that could be squeezed and folded up in very particular ways and stuffed inside a ball. They wondered: For a certain shape, how big does the ball need to be?
As their results began to crystallize, at first they didn’t notice the striking patterns emerging. But a colleague who reviewed their work spotted the famed?Fibonacci numbers—a list whose entries have popped up again and again in nature and throughout centuries of mathematics. They’re closely related, for example, to the exalted golden ratio, which has been studied in art, architecture, and nature since the ancient Greeks.
Fibonacci numbers “always make mathematicians happy,” said?Tara Holm, a mathematician at Cornell University. Their appearance in McDuff and Schlenk’s work, she added, was “some indication that there’s something there there.”
Their landmark result was?published in 2012?in the?Annals of Mathematics, widely considered the top journal in the field. It revealed the existence of staircase-like structures with infinitely many steps. The size of each step in these “infinite staircases” was a ratio of Fibonacci numbers.
As the staircase ascended, the steps became smaller and smaller, the top of the staircase crushing up against the golden ratio. Neither the golden ratio nor the Fibonacci numbers has any apparent relationship to the problem of fitting a shape inside a ball. It was bizarre to find these numbers lurking within McDuff and Schlenk’s work.
Question of the week
When should a Developer on a Scrum Team be replaced?
A) A) As needed, with no special allowance for changes in productivity
B) Never it reduces productivity
C) As needed, while taking into account a short-term reduction in productivity
D) Every sprint to promote shared learning
The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers
