It seems like we are working on a lot of initiatives. Could it help to get a picture of all the initiatives and where they are in the pipeline? Would it help to make sure we involve the teams and leaders who will need to execute on initiatives in the decision when to actually start them? It feels like we, the leadership team, are involved in every decision and are becoming a bottleneck for the organization....

Let's be honest. These are "interesting" times for being an agilist. Whether you're in the "Agile is Dead" camp or not, it is clear that the movement is not well. Agile took over the software development world in a storm. As that happened, the demand for agile outstripped the supply. Agile became practice-focused. A commodity. Mainstream organizations didn't have the patience or desire to think from first principles....

Three members of a PMO are asked what they are doing: The first says, “I’m updating processes to align projects with product teams.” The second says, “I’m shifting our portfolio approach from projects to products to enhance delivery and value focus.” The third says, with conviction, “I’m transforming how we invest, plan, and deliver value by focusing on products rather than projects, enabling our teams to be more adaptive, customer-centric, and capable of delivering lasting impact for our business and customers....

Are you at the stage where traditional portfolio-level processes and behaviors present the most significant impediment to agility? I see this often. The organization spends six or seven-figure amounts on an agile transformation. Teams and Teams of Teams are working in Agile/Scrum/SAFe. Still, the promised land of outsized value creation and improvement of time to market (rather than flow time of stories or “features”) is elusive....

Does it make sense to aim for 100% utilization across the organization? Is that efficient? Whether it’s an ad agency, a factory, a product development organization, or any organization - it has a constraint. The constraint/bottleneck should be optimized, but other areas of the process shouldn’t aim for 100% utilization since that would create waste and overload. For example, let’s say client approvals are the constraint....

Meet change approaches F and S. S is a revolutionary change for people. It requires new roles and totally new ways of working. It is shock therapy. It requires such a leap that people often resort to faking it because it is so hard for them to change. F is evolutionary. It starts with where you are. It shows you how you’re working....

How would you feel if you could no longer work the way we work here? Glad Not Disappointed Somewhat Disappointed Very Disappointed Sean Ellis, the OG Growth Hacker, came up with the PMF survey question, which has become one of (if not the) established ways to gauge Product Market Fit: If more than 40% of your existing customers answer “Very Disappointed,” you are well on your way....

"We trained 1359 people!" "we transformed 127 teams" Enough with the vanity metrics. Ever wonder how your change initiative is REALLY doing? Think of your organization as an internal market for the change. Consider Pirate Metrics (AARRR) to see how your change "Product" is doing in this market. Acquisition (or awareness) – are people discovering our change? How effective are we at acquiring new interested internal customers for the change?...

Do you ever feel like your goals are too inclusive? Being inclusive is essential for culture but not so good for setting goals. You want your goals to mean something. They shouldn't be an excuse to enable you to continue to spread your attention all over. A question you can ask about your goal/s is "What are the investments we WON'T be making as a result of these goals?" …...
