• A new perspective on resistance to change

    This understanding can also be used in change management. For more on constructivism, see the article on wikipedia and its sources. Resistance as an opportunity for new perspectives Any form of resistance to a change process can potentially offer a new perspective on the change process that was not previously considered.

  • Why Kanban makes a difference for managers

    Kanban, a lean management method, visualises the work flow and thus helps to identify bottlenecks, among other things. This transparency facilitates continuous process improvement, for example by limiting work in progress (WIP). These so-called ‘WIP limits’ prevent Kanban from starting too many tasks at the same time.

  • When working harder is not the solution …

    If working harder is not the solution, then the problem is probably not that people are working too little, but rather inefficient processes. Kanban offers a structured method to optimise these processes and thus pave the way for a sustainable improvement in company performance. What does improving delivery capability mean to you and how can we support your company?

  • Descaling instead of scaling: Why scaled agility should simplify the organization.

    More processes, more structures, more rules. In organizational theory, there is a term of references for all these words. Larger and older companies seem to need more references: More employees? More structures. More products? More processes. New events? More rules. Larger projects? More “management”.

  • Agile Myths: Agile Solves all my Problems

    For instance, in a retrospective, it might come to light that due to the long processes in purchasing, the work can’t be done in the appropriate amount of time. If the organization then eliminates the cause of the long processes, agile has actually helped to prevent or at least reduce budget and project time overruns.

  • If you understand Kanban, your SAFe will be better.

    This means that a system as a whole can only move as fast as the slowest process step. That’s quite nice. How does that help us now with SAFe? The innovations in the SAFe 6.0 framework aim to streamline the delivery process so that the right value is delivered to the customer in the shortest possible time. So they aim to deliver the right thing at the right time (you remember? 😉).

  • Agile Myths: Agility equals Scrum?!?

    Transforming Principles and Values Of course, a healthy change process goes hand in hand in all areas – following the principles incrementally.

  • Führung & Management

    Führung & Management befindet sich permanent im Wandel. Die Herausforderungen durch ein komplexes Umfeld machen auch vor der Führung kein Halt. Als Führungskraft werden Sie durch immer neue technische und wirtschaftliche Entwicklungen unter Druck gesetzt und müssen darauf reagieren. Das erfordert auch häufig eine neue Herangehensweise an Führung und Management.

  • What does management mean in the agile world? Malte’s thoughts.

    Within the teams, they could simply think more about self-management and really about the management-part of it. Maybe also accept that they are in a process. Engineering spent 1500 years on learning how to build a bridge and we are just 20-50 years in that process of building software in the organization. So we are bound to fail a lot of times. And we need to articulate what management means.
