Ulrik Lehrskov-Schmidt: Price Your Customer, Not Your Product

Troubleshooting Agile is a problem-solving session for agile teams. Jeffrey Fredrick and Douglas Squirrel look at common problems agile teams face and provide practical, immediately useful advice for getting back on track.

I started listening to the podcast and have fallen in love. These guys, Jeffrey and Squirrel, share their wisdom with unprecedented candor and kindness. Their stories bring to life the real challenges faced by software projects. They don&#39;t try to make it sound easy, or cookie cutter. I can&#39;t wait to listen to every episode. Definitely recommending to friends and colleagues.

Design in an Agile Team

In this third episode of Troubleshooting Agile, Squirrel and Jeffrey take a look at the first of the 12 Agile Principles: "Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.” As Jeffrey point out, this principle contains so much that it "could have been an agile manifesto in itself.” Squirrel and Jeffrey both tell stories about previous consulting experiences to highlight where clients have failed to fully deliver on this vital principle in the past, and how businesses can troubleshoot various common problems that arise.Show Notes:- The 12 Agile principles: http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html - “The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement”, by Eliyahu M.

Types of Reflection Part 2: Double loop learning

In this episode Squirrel and Jeffrey discuss the Second Agile Principle: ‘Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.’We hear how the principle is closely related to Lean Startup and Minimal Viable Product, and how, at its core, it is about understanding and learning from one’s environment as quickly and as often as possible.This reminds Squirrel of the OODA loop, the decision cycle developed by military strategist and US Air Force Colonel John Boyd, and he tells us a story about fighter jet dogfights in the Korean War.Jeffrey also tells us a story, about a startup he started way way back in the first dotcom bubble in 1999, which brings to mind another military lesson that ‘no plan survives contact with the enemy.’.Finally, we hear examples of common errors witnessed over the years, such as refusals to fully embrace the Second Agile Principle in favour of misguided efficiency and an often irrational attachment a plan.***SHOWNOTES:-The 12 Agile Principles: http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html-The OODA Loop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OODA_loop-Lean Startup: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_startup***We’d love to hear any thoughts, ideas or feedback you have regarding the episode (or regarding anything else, for that matter).You can email us, here:agile@troubleshootingagile.comOr send us a tweet, here:twitter.com/TShootingAgileOr you can find our website, here:http://troubleshootingagile.com/Also, here is a link to our iTunes:https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/troubleshooting-agile/id1327456890?mt=2If you felt like liking, Sharing and/or Subscribing, we’d really appreciate it.

Embracing Change & Maximising Validated Learning

We continue our series responding to Martin Fowler's State of Agile 2018 speech. This week we look at Fowler's second claim - that agile software development has forgotten that it's about software, and that technical excellence in practises like refactoring, testing, and architecting should be (but isn't) central to discussions of good agile practise. We agree with Fowler and go even further, arguing that we should be making the (strong) case for technical excellence as a source of business value - to make our products more flexible, easier to use, and more satisfying to users.SHOW LINKS:- Fowler on the State of Agile 2018: https://martinfowler.com/articles/agile-aus-2018.html- Marick on forgotten agile ideas: http://www.exampler.com/discipline-and-skill.html and http://www.exampler.com/blog/2007/05/16/six-years-later-what-the-agile-manifesto-left-out/- Reinertsen, The Principles of Product Development Flow (cost of delay): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Principles-Product-Development-Flow-Generation/dp/1935401009- Accelerate book: https://itrevolution.com/book/accelerate/- Our previous episode on technical excellence and the agile principles: https://soundcloud.com/troubleshootingagile/enhancing-agility-through-technical-excellence-and-good-design***We'd love to hear any thoughts, ideas, or feedback you have about the show.Email us: see link on troubleshootingagile.comTweet us: twitter.com/TShootingAgileAlso, if you'd like to leave us a review on iTunes (or just like and subscribe), you'll find us here: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/troubleshooting-agile/id1327456890?mt=2

Roadmap to Improving Agile Skills

Ryan Singer

We start our conversation with Ryan Singer, Head of Strategy at Basecamp, by asking him to help us understand how their Shape Up process works and how they developed it. He explains how the fear of not shipping drove their movement to frequent delivery of carefully designed (or "shaped") features, why their teams avoid single-page apps to ensure designers can make the maximum contribution, and why they have neither front-end devs nor back-end specialists.SHOW LINKS:- Shape Up: https://basecamp.com/shapeup/?ref=df- Daring Fireball intro to Shape Up: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2019/08/04/shape-up- Extreme Programming Explained: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Extreme-Programming-Explained-Embrace-Change/dp/0321278658- Feature Factory: https://cutle.fish/blog/12-signs-youre-working-in-a-feature-factory- Petition the King: https://ronjeffries.com/xprog/articles/petitiontheking/- Art of Action: http://www.stephenbungay.com/Books.ink***We'd love to hear any thoughts, ideas, or feedback you have about the show.Email us: see link on troubleshootingagile.comTweet us: twitter.com/TShootingAgileAlso, if you'd like to leave us a review on iTunes (or just like and subscribe), you'll find us here: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/troubleshooting-agile/id1327456890?mt=2

Ryan Singer on Basecamp and Shape Up, Part I

This week on the Troubleshooting Agile podcast it's Agile Principle 9: "Continued attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility."The dark old days of big up-front design may send shivers down the spine, but the Lean Startup 'move fast and break things' approach of scrapping design altogether goes too far. Jeffrey and Squirrel ask how principle #9 can be used to find balance between the two. They also discuss how a shared body of knowledge is the key to making quicker and better decisions in regards to technical excellence and good design; and ways in which managers can expand this body of knowledge through Lunch and Learns and making bad judgements well.***SHOWNOTES:-The 12 Agile Principles: http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html-The Boy Scout Rule, from Uncle Bob: http://programmer.97things.oreilly.com/wiki/index.php/The_Boy_Scout_Rule-Uncle Bob himself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_C._Martin- Martin Fowler on Event Sourcing: https://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/EventSourcing.html***We'd love to hear any thoughts, ideas or feedback you have regarding the show.Email us: agile@troubleshootingagile.comTweet us: twitter.com/TShootingAgileAlso, if you'd like to leave us a review on iTunes (or just like and subscribe), you'll find us here: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/troubleshooting-agile/id1327456890?mt=2

Enhancing Agility Through Technical Excellence and Good Design

We're on to Agile Principle 10 this week: "Simplicity - the art of maximizing the amount of work not done - is essential."In comparison to the dark old days when the Agile Manifesto was written, the way projects are simplified and broken down seems a huge improvement. But simplicity plays an essential role in achieving the all-important first Agile Principle of "satisfying the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software," so Squirrel and Jeffrey discuss why this principle is still so important today.They discussed:-How simplicity asks you to exercise discipline and restraint.-How Elephant carpaccio helps to provide an environment in which that restraint is easier.-How simplicity is not just a call for businesses to restrain themselves in their demand for features, but for developers to restrain themselves in their demand for best practices- and how they can employ YAGNI instead.-What YAGNI is.-How to build a whole application's worth of software without actually writing any software.***SHOWNOTES:-The 12 Agile Principles: http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html-Alistair Cockburn's brilliant Elephant Carpaccio lesson: http://alistair.cockburn.us/Elephant+carpaccio-What is YAGNI?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_aren%27t_gonna_need_it-Zapier: https://zapier.com/-IFTTT: https://ifttt.com/***We'd love to hear any thoughts, ideas or feedback you have regarding the show.Email us: agile@troubleshootingagile.comTweet us: twitter.com/TShootingAgileAlso, if you'd like to leave us a review on iTunes (or just like and subscribe), you'll find us here: itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/troub…d1327456890?mt=2

Why You Shouldn't Listen to Your Brain

Today, we explain that when you learn a new skill - whether it's playing the piano, kitesurfing across a lake, or negotiating with others inside and outside your agile team - it's vital to practise to develop your abilities. Don't jump onto the double black diamond run the first time you hit the slopes; instead, find a coach and watch her carefully as she goes down the mountain first. You'll learn to act in unintuitive ways and discover new possibilities you wouldn't have thought of. The same is true of learning to have the difficult conversations you need to improve your agile team - you can listen to us all you want, but you'll need to try (and fail!) to really master the methods. We get started on some methods for effective practise, including the use of a feeling chart, with more to follow in the next episode.Join us in London on 19 March for our talk on "Sprinting In Place: The Cost of Missing Leadership Conversations"!SHOW LINKS:- Jeffrey's blog post on the piano analogy: https://blog.jeffreyfredrick.com/2015/06/07/the-piano-analogy-some-practice-required/ - London Organisational Learning meetup: https://www.meetup.com/London-Action-Science-Meetup/ - NVC 4-part process: https://www.nonviolentcommunication.com/aboutnvc/4partprocess.htm- NVC feelings inventory: https://www.cnvc.org/training/resource/feelings-inventory- Our SkillsMatter talk on 19 March: https://skillsmatter.com/meetups/11800-leadership-matters***We'd love to hear any thoughts, ideas, or feedback you have about the show.Email us: see link on troubleshootingagile.comTweet us: twitter.com/TShootingAgileAlso, if you'd like to leave us a review on iTunes (or just like and subscribe), you'll find us here: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/troubleshooting-agile/id1327456890?mt=2

Learning through Case Studies: The 4 Rs

In our one-year anniversary episode, we start with a story about "flickering" tests and generalise to look at the idea of normalisation of deviance. We suggest that psychological safety lets you hear from those who see the deviance but aren't speaking up, with examples from oil rigs, and tie to pair programming as a way to create a safe environment for reiterating agreed non-deviant behaviour.SHOW LINKS:- Diane Vaughan and links to normalisation of deviance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Vaughan- Bystander effect and smoke experiment; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bystander_effect#Social_psychology_research- Psychological safety: https://www.businessinsider.com/amy-edmondson-on-psychological-safety-2015-11?r=UK&amp;IR=T- Oil rig creating psychological safety: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/06/17/482203447/invisibilia-how-learning-to-be-vulnerable-can-make-life-safer and https://hbr.org/2008/07/unmasking-manly-men***We'd love to hear any thoughts, ideas, or feedback you have about the show.Email us: see link on troubleshootingagile.comTweet us: twitter.com/TShootingAgileAlso, if you'd like to leave us a review on iTunes (or just like and subscribe), you'll find us here: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/troubleshooting-agile/id1327456890?mt=2
