ManagementBusiness

We still use Frederick Taylor and Henry Ford management rules

Radical Management

Delighting Clients

-> Delight primary clients by meeting their unrecognized desires

-> Aim for the simplest possible thing that will delight

-> Focus on people, not things

-> Give the people doing the work a clear line of sight to the people for whom the work is being done

Self-Organizing Teams

-> Articulate a compelling purpose in terms of delighting clients

-> Consistently communicate a passionate belief in the worth of the purpose

-> Transfer the power to the team

Radical Management

Client-Driven Iterations

-> Focus on stakeholders and what is of value for them

-> Consider how to deliver more value sooner and cheaper

-> Decide as late as possible what work is to be included in the iteration

-> Define the goal of the iterations in the form of user stories

Radical Management

Client-Driven Iterations

-> Treat the user story as the beginning, not the end, of a conversation

-> Keep the user stories simple and record them informally

-> Display the user stories in the workplace

-> Be ready to discuss the user stories with the client

-> In the user story, include a test to determine when the story has been fully executed

Radical Management

Delivering Value to Clients

-> Focus on finish the most important work first

-> Have the team itself estimate how much time work will take

-> Let the team decide how to do the work in the iteration

-> Don't interrupt the team in the course of an iteration

-> Measure progress in terms of value delivered to clients

Radical Management

Radical Transparency

-> Have the team members stay in contact with each other on a daily basis

-> Conduct retrospectives reviews at the end of each iteration

-> Use informal visual displays of progress

-> Establish a clear line of sight from the team to the client

Radical Management

Discovery !!

“Scrum Is A Major Management Discovery” By Steve Denning

“If there was a Nobel Prize for management, and if there was any justice in the world, I believe that the prize would be awarded, among others, to Jeff Sutherland, Ken Schwaber and Mike Cohn for their contributions to the invention of Scrum.”
