• Agile Transformation

If you want to bang, you have to work smarter and not harder

The trick? First agree on what you want to achieve, in what time frame. Then decide what to do. For example, I was recently working with some colleagues to design a new training experience. Our goal was to find out within an hour what participants would be able to do after the experience. Was the training finished within the hour? No. And that felt crazy. But when I thought about it, I also saw that it wouldn’t be twice as good if we took twice as much time. Better to elaborate on some topics individually first. The broad outlines were there, though. And it was nice to get started.

My conclusion: you shouldn’t always want to work harder (or longer), but more importantly, work smarter. Easier said than done? Take a browse through the Manifesto we developed. Or maybe these are two concrete Agile steps for you.

Build smarter work, as a Scrum Master

If you’re eager to build smarter work, it helps to learn Scrum Master skills. In a Scrum Team, the Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring that collaboration keeps getting better. What is better? That you get a lot done with less and less effort. In other words, smarter. And more fun. In our two-day Scrum Master I Training, you will learn in a very practical way how to take on that role.

Build a smarter organization with an Agile Transformation

It may also be that you feel much more needs to change. The whole organization could work much smarter, as a team of teams. So an Agile Transformation, more and more people are asking for that. They feel that projects take a long time, or don’t deliver what the organization needs. Like it’s all not coming together nicely. In that case, you can call or email me to take effective steps toward an Agile, value-driven organization. These organizations did just that.

Could you use another Agile refresher?

Perhaps you have been looking for a suitable Agile training for yourself for some time , but the role of Scrum Master is not for you. Or you keep hearing from the boardroom that ‘we have to do something with Scrum and Agile’, but by now you know that sending one colleague on a training course is not enough. Or have you and your team taken the first Agile steps, but are you getting tired of everything that has to do with Sprints? Feel free to contact us. Together we will gladly look for suitable training or coaching, so you can work even smarter.
