A few years back when I still cared about #agile more, I was into #ModernAgile and discovering practices that were not either scrum or kanban. The practices part I still care for. A lot of basic agile comes off to me as @adventurekateer collated into the picture, moderate agile.

Pleasant working values in development are far from a given today. Still. Which surprises me while not surprising me.

This morning I found myself thinking about #modernAgile in the home. So much of what happens in my home can be directly mapped to the four values. Helping with homework is "Making People Awesome". A lot of our chores fall into "Making Safety a Prerequisite". There are a lot of check in cycles that function as "Experiment and Learn Rapidly". Lastly is all the small things we do to "Deliver Value Continuously"

@bbak @designative agreed. It goes back to the quality principle of the role of management being to create a supportive environment where great work can happen. Or as #ModernAgile would state, "Make people awesome" while they "Make safety a prerequisite"!

Have not identified with the Agile stuff for years, even though the core of how I build up teams is very much rooted there. So much of Agile is ceremony-centric nightmare. I tried using #ModernAgile to differentiate. I also tried explaining no coaches, no product owners, no jira, no sprints, no estimates - a lot of things people think are core in Agile.

Yesterday I taught the good neighbour principle to a director as an optional way of thinking about organization.

@Willm1975 I hear you, brother! I guess we both have been in the “business” since around 2000…

I think that “Agile” at its core is a way of thinking. Personally I like the simplicity in #ModernAgile.

RT @johncutlefish@twitter.com: “Just lower WIP!”

The challenge is that a system designed for high WIP needs high WIP. Lowering it will be painful. Lowering it will require psychological safety, and an attention to people’s needs.
