The 5 Worst Agile Mistakes I’ve Made
- Sharing velocity outside the team is a mistake; senior executives don’t listen to caveats and think numbers are everything.
- Letting customer approval creep into ‘definition of done’ slows down sprint reviews and lead to an increased product scope.
- Daily Scrum shouldn’t drag on for an hour and approval meetings should not be confused with sprint reviews.
- The Scrum Master is supposed to help the team become self-organizing and removing administrative barriers encourages rather than hinders this.
- Skipping sprint reviews may seem like a time-saver but this can ultimately lead to delays and irrelevant work being completed.
- Transparency is critical but only when it’s meaningful and vanity metrics should be avoided.
- Scrum is about delivering value, being productive but also learning from mistakes.
- Sprints are a chance to talk to stakeholders, course-correct if needed and get feedback early and often.
- Meaningful metrics are those that focus on customer outcomes and progress towards the product goal.
- Professional Scrum Master training and certification would be helpful for aspiring scrum masters.
