The Good (Product Alignment), The Bad (Not Thinking Iteratively), & The Ugly (estimation) of Agile

Being Product Aligned Having a Lean Product Canvas with vision and strategy Work on OKRs. Write them for your boss if you have to! Be outcome oriented, allow space for the team to innovate Not Thinking Iteratively Features and Stories are just too darn big Be more experimental. Seek feedback sooner. Use Hypothesis and outcomes in writing stories “What’s the smallest thing we can do to learn something sooner?” Estimating Velocity is a weapon if we all don’t use it properly in Scrum Use it to guide consistent delivery and focus on 40 hrs a week sustainable pace Relative estimation is key. Find an anchor story, call it 5. Go quick, be rough. Be usefully wrong and directionally correct
