Dejirafication
free your process
@alexeykrv #ale16
Most companies use some sort
of backlog management tools…
There are many different ones… but i’ll just call them ‘jira’
Inventories are wasteful
Dejirafication: free your process from tools
That’s how Most PBR meetings feel like
PBR is where the team to meet with the tool
Printed jira issues
Time-boxed discussions
Break-out groups working in parallel
Updates to jira after the meeting
Some ideas that I’ve tried to
improve the meetings:
Result: just less badly jirafied meetings.
Jirandicitis (or the ‘jira symptom’)
An observable process
when team collaboration
(such as a meeting)
is degrading to become
a plain tool-updating activity
(with a sole goal of updating the tool).
welcome to
jira rehab program !!!
One of my client joint the jira rehab program:
We went back to paper:
Backlog refinement activities are much more lively
We are building shared understanding of product & work
It might also look a bit more chaotic
#1 mind-mapping for product themes
– no more lists!
#2 JIT story creating and slicing
– minimal inventories!
I call this ‘parmigiano method’:
Grate fresh stories only when hungry.
#3 backlog refinement with shuffled groups
– amplified learning!
#4 shape discussions – lean coffee with confidence voting
GET CLEAN TODAY
