AGILE COACHING

Successfully implement and optimize Agile for your Projects

Agile Challenges

 
 
“Daily Scrum – It’s a waste of time and interrupts my work.”

“Daily Scrum is just a chance for the Scrum Master to show up and micromanage.”

“Daily Scrum is for reporting status, but I could do that in an email.”

25% of highly Agile organizations did not meet their goals/business intent, 35% did not finish on time, and 33% where over budget.

-The Axelos Ppm Benchmark Study 2017 Edition

“We’re using Scrum, but… we don’t do X.” The “but” often removes the parts of Scrum (or other Agile method) that expose problems (we’re doing Scrum, but… we don’t do Daily Scrums every day), thus defeating the purpose of Scrum.
