Modern Agile Made my Monday

8/22/2016

It was a normal Monday morning, not much to speak of. I walked into the building and greeted the security officer: "How was your weekend?" "Too short!" A shared laugh, and I was on my way upstairs to catch a conference call, a couple of daily stand-ups, and a coaching circle gathering. When nobody showed up to the circle, I decided to watch a video that a fellow coach pointed me to. He hadn't even watched it yet, but the topic looked interesting: Modern Agile.

For the next 40 minutes, I was mesmerized as Joshua Kerievsky, CEO of Industrial Logic, gave his Agile2016 keynote on his invention, Modern Agile. For months, I'd been tortured by the idea that somehow, some way, Scrum and the Agile Principles could be leaned down, but just couldn't put my finger on how. Little did I know, Kerievsky had it all worked out before I even started wondering. 

Below is the Modern Agile spinner. No side is destined to remain on top, no side has precedence. He compared scrum and the agile manifesto/principles to an old laptop that looks just like mine (ouch!), and said it was time to put those old thoughts in in an agile senior home ("the food is great!").  I agree.

I immediately redesigned my Scrum/Agile Basics training around the four easy ideas above. No more will I walk through all twelve principles, explaining each on in detail to confused new hires. In the spirit of one of the discarded principles, the art of the work not done includes not having to make a "cheat sheet" for students so they can remember them. I'll post more as I used Modern Agile to lean my own processes, teams, and training. Stay tuned! This is just day one!

Being agile is a skill that I want to have. Well, being fast is not enough, having the reflexes to match them is just as important. I consider myself as a fast runner, however, I really lack the agile reflexes to be a great athlete. I know that it will take a long time, but I will work my hardest, so that I can learn to be agile. I will work myself to the bone, I can promise you that much.

There is therefore a limitation. It is limited to one person per month with an email address and therefore duplicates can be avoided.
