1. Dejirafication
free your process
@alexeykrv #ale16

2. Most companies use some sort
of backlog management tools…

3. There are many different ones… but i’ll just call them ‘jira’

4. Inventories are wasteful

6. That’s how Most PBR meetings feel like

7. PBR is where the team to meet with the tool

8. 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.

9. 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).
