NextStep Amsterdam 2018 - Thoroughly Modern Agile, Goncalo Gaiolas
1 like277 views
Thoroughly Modern Agile discusses structuring development teams for maximum speed, scale, and flexibility. It outlines three lessons from older agile teams: 1) Remove complexity by starting small and avoiding extra layers; 2) Focus on outcomes over outputs and initiatives by measuring benefits delivered; and 3) Make teams elastic by defining business intent, agreeing on shared metrics, discussing high-level plans, and allowing teams to disband gracefully after executing and learning. The document advocates for outcome-focused teams organized into centers of excellence rather than output-focused initiatives.
