In my daily work as an agile coach i have observed a wide range of wisdom pearls that all contribute to the break down of the agile mindset. Read this and the following blog entries to get hints on how YOU can sabotage your project with high impact!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Let the project manager control the battle. It\u2019s vital that everyone understands the importance of the project manger. It\u2019s exclusive to him to know the status of the project and as such comes natural that he reports the status to the team. If possible, the project manger reads from the project plan and informs everyone about which tasks they completed yesterday and which tasks they should work on today.<\/li>\n
  2. Make sure to report all details in all tasks. In the sad case where team members are given speaking time at the standups, they should make sure to elaborate fully about their tasks. Everyone knows the importance of the tasks and as such must also know about related analysis and considerations.<\/li>\n
  3. Perform the meeting separately for all locations (if working distributed). In these modern days teams are often working cross borders – that\u2019s a fact which can\u2019t be changed by the team. However, the team can solely decide how to execute the daily standup and should perform them separately on each location to ensure a safe separation of responsibility and duties – no one should see the distributed team as working towards the same goal.<\/li>\n
  4. Don\u2019t ever inform the rest of the team about critical scope changes and decisions about YOUR tasks until the weekly status meeting. The project manager is, of course, informed and the plans have been updated. There is no need to involve the rest of the team in the drastic changes until later – it won\u2019t affect them anyways!<\/li>\n
  5. If a team member hasn\u2019t decided on which tasks to work on for the day, just let him tell the same as yesterday. That way, the meeting will be executed faster and everyone can get back to their screens as fast as possible. It doesn\u2019t make sense to inform about stalling tasks or problems in implementing the chosen solution – it needs to be fixed any ways\u2026<\/li>\n
  6. It doesn\u2019t matter if team members doesn\u2019t show up on time. It\u2019s ok to be late if they know that they aren\u2019t first in line to talk at the daily standup. The most important thing is that the project manager and the scrum master is updated – it\u2019s subordinate that the rest of the team is informed.<\/li>\n
  7. Feel free to use 30-60 minutes on the daily standup meeting. It\u2019s important to discuss solutions and do problem solving to gain full value of the meeting. If the discussion is postponed the team might risk forgetting to discuss – and it\u2019s natural that the whole team is informed about which solutions is in play before deciding on the final solution.<\/li>\n
  8. It\u2019s not important that everyone gets to speak. If the schedule says 15 minutes for daily standup – 15 minutes it is! It doesn\u2019t matter if some team members are neglected (they\u2019ll simply be put first in line for the daily stand up tomorrow).<\/li>\n
  9. The daily standup meeting can easily be replaced and used for management information – the whole team is assembled anyways. As long as the project manager and scrum master is updated on ETC during the day so the reports can be extracted – everything is fine.<\/li>\n
  10. It\u2019s OK to come unprepared. It doesn\u2019t make a difference in the big picture anyways. It\u2019s important to improvise a bit, so everyone in the team looks busy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I really hope that these observations will be accepted and adopted in teams all around the world. Feel free to inform me of implementations and other pearls of wisdom on this matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
