Strict Scrum may cause more problems than it solves on marketing teams, but by creating their own customized hybrid methodologies these non-IT teams can enjoy their share of Agile success.

Klaus Leopold discusses an agile transition where approximately 600 people were involved. The goal was to shorten the time-to- market for initiatives to be able to respond to customer needs more quickly and, as such, improve business agility. In order to achieve this, a reorganization was carried out. Cross-functional teams were constructed so knowledge needed for development was fully available within the team. In addition, the teams were categorized by product in order to remove any dependencies. Visualization of the work, Standup meetings and Retrospectives made the agile transition complete - but the expected improvements did not occur.

There are some myths that Scrum practitioners believe about Kanban that may be holding them back from adopting and benefiting from Kanban practices. In this webinar, we will try to dispel these myths as we will explore a few of the beneficial practices that Kanban has that are easily adopted by Scrum teams and empower them to take their productivity to the next level.

Update: The webinar was held on April 11 2018, here is the recording:

Like many other change initiatives, Kanban too can falter. You either run into various forms of internal organizational/ cultural resistance. Or, you realize that your Kanban board no longer represents what your team actually does! In this webinar, Christophe Achouiantz explain why that is a good thing and that your Kanban system is giving you valuable insights and prompting you to take action!

Do you think that combining the #Kanban principles and practices with the #Scrum Framework will enhance the collaboration across your agile teams?

Far too often, teams implementing Kanban define their Kanban board, set up WIP limits and even plot their CFD and Cycle Time data. However, they are unable to evolve beyond that in terms of truly leveraging the power of Kanban and its data-driven approach, to improve in a significant manner!
