Reading time (8-10 mins)
In this post, I have shared my thoughts about getting value from different frameworks while keeping the focus on achieving organizational goals.
Question: What is more important for you and your organization?
a) Being Agile (Leadership Agility, Organisational Agility)
b) Achieve Organizational goals (More sales, Happy customers and Teams)
Please go ahead and share your thoughts in the comment section, meanwhile, I can share what are my thoughts.
So here are some thoughts about my Agile journey and its impact on me (as part of my CSP application)
Some high-level thoughts.
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” —African Proverb.
The five Scrum values (Commitment, Focus, Openness, Respect, and Courage) were mentioned in Book Agile Software Development with Scrum (by Ken Schwaber, Mike Beedle) but the values were not part of official Scrum guide. These were added upon a suggestion by Iain McKenna (Oct 23, 2014) on Scrum guide User Voice. Users have commented and voted it to be part of the Scrum guide 2016.
There are NO other changes in Scrum guide and by adding “The Scrum values” I think it
makes the Scrum guide more clear. On three Scrum pillars (Transparency, Inspection, and Adaptation) these values create a focused and fun to work environment. An environment where teams embrace changes, care and respect each other. More interaction and communication is appreciated.
Scrum is considered as a framework for developing and sustaining complex products. The Scrum values act as a heart, pumping fresh blood to the rest of framework and respective processes and methods defined by the team. The team members can use these values as a guiding star to make a decision that benefits individual, team and project toward achieving the common goal. These values, I think are important for a successful implementation of Scrum and make more sense.
