Image Something has been spreading through the product teams I work with since around 2022, and it has the same shape as every good idea that becomes a religion. Teams are describing everything as a bet. The instinct behind it is a sound one. Outcomes, the real measure of product work, are lagging indicators. They move
Image Knowing where you are today and where you want to go is important, but you also need to understand what stands between the two. Learning how to perform a gap analysis helps teams identify what needs to change before they can reach their desired future state. In business analysis, a useful gap analysis does more t
Image How confident are you when someone asks, "When will it be done?" If you've worked with a Scrum Team for any length of time, you'll know this question well. And you'll probably recognise the uncomfortable silence that sometimes follows. We estimate. We plan. We look at velocity, maybe do a burn chart. Then, rather
In Kürze: Der KI-Modellwechsel und seine versteckten Kosten Ein neues KI-Modell erscheint, das pro Token günstiger ist, in Benchmarks besser abschneidet und scheinbar keine Änderung erfordert. Da sollte man doch einen KI-Modellwechsel in Betracht ziehen, oder? Das Problem liegt jedoch im Detail, denn die Token-Berechnu
In a recent class, we were discussing how teams are using AI and finishing coding faster but still missing Sprint Goals. How can these things both be true? That question gets to the heart of a shift many Scrum Teams are experiencing right now. AI has changed the bottleneck. Coding is no longer the constraint it once wa
Organizational problems rarely arrive labelled as organization-design problems. They show up in everyday work. A team waits for a decision. Another starts before its inputs are final and has to redo the work. Someone escalates to protect a launch date. A new control gets added after something goes wrong. Individually,
The same Scrum framework sits behind organisations that get real value from AI and those that don't. What separates them is where Scrum is placed in their operating model. For many organisations, Scrum is a delivery method inside a project: the business case fixes scope, budget, and the definition of success before the
Discover the practical steps you need to take within your first 3 months on the job to confidently solidify your position in your Scrum Team. Image Imagine your company has recently asked you to take over the Scrum Master role within your Scrum Team, or maybe you've personally chosen to pursue a leadership position in
Image The demo works. The feature does exactly what the slide said it would. Someone says "nice." A couple of people do the little typing-clap in the chat. "Any questions?" A pause, the good kind, the kind that means we're done. "Great, thanks everyone." And the review is over. Notice what didn't happen. Nobody looked
TL;DR: The Hidden Cost of Switching AI Models A new AI model arrives that is cheaper per token, scores better on benchmarks, and seems to require nothing more than a setting change. However, the token bill shows only part of the cost of switching AI models. There is also the effort to check whether your workflows, for
Image Watch where the work actually spends its time. Not the hours someone is heads-down building. The days it sits, waiting. Waiting for the one person who knows that system. Waiting for the other team to finish their sprint. Waiting for a review, a sign-off, an environment, an answer from someone who's out until Thur
TL;DR: The AI Delegation Audit Webinar Recording When AI-assisted output still looks fine, it is tempting to conclude the delegation is fine. In my October 6 webinar with Scrum.org on the AI Delegation Audit, I walked through a fictional case in which that belief held for months, then fell apart in a board meeting, and
