What can we learn from

the story?

Hands up...

Scrum in a nutshell

Kanban in a nutshell

A story about the old master (and agile methods)

LOOK, MY YOUNG APPRENTICE SOMEONE IS COMING

TO VISIT US

OLD MASTER, WE DO CRAPPY JOB AND WANT TO DO BETTER. WHICH METHOD WE

SHOULD USE?

FOCUS ON IMPROVING YOUR PRACTICES

AND DON’T WORRY ABOUT METHODS

THANK YOU, WISE MASTER

FIRST TEAM LEADER APPROACHES...

TELL ME, WHICH METHOD OUT THERE

IS THE BEST?

THANK YOU, WISE MASTER

THERE ISN’T ONE. THERE IS NO

SILVER BULLET

EXACTLY!

SECOND TEAM LEADER APPROACHES... OLD MASTER,

WE DO CRAPPY JOB AND WANT TO DO BETTER. WHICH METHOD WE

SHOULD USE?

USE SCRUM! BY THE BOOK!

THANK YOU, WISE MASTER

THIRD TEAM LEADER APPROACHES...

OLD MASTER, WE DO CRAPPY JOB AND WANT TO DO BETTER. WHICH METHOD WE

SHOULD USE?

BUT MASTER, YOU GAVE THREE DIFFERENT ANSWERS FOR THE SAME QUESTION!

WHY? IT IS A LONG STORY,

BUT LET ME EXPLAIN...

LATER, THAT DAY

Inexperienced team

Start with

basics!

Aim for continuous improvement

Experienced team

Remember about the context

Choose the right tools

There is no silver bullet!

And if you look

for a simple recipe...

...than you will get one...

...but will it work?

Understand where you are

Learn the tools you want to use

Look for advice

You may not like what you hear

You will get what you want, so don’t complain to the old master

Thank you Questions?
