It's well know Japanese are self-discipline, and used to control-and-command. To my knowledge in software development, they most likely follow waterfall...
Our development teams need to develop new projects as well as supporting delivered projects. Anyone has any experience to how incorporate both type of...
In this case, i would treat open supporting cases at the time of sprint planning no difference than new items. However, if the supporting cases are coming in...
It is a buzzword to me. :) Well I heard that Kanban might be used for production support. So I'm asking if anyone use it with Scrum as we need to do support as...
Hi, This is very intriguing indeed! And the most paradoxal thing is that Taiichi Ohno, the father of the Toyota Production System (from where Lean manufactring...
As we have been under command-and-control for thousands of years, I would never expect something like Agile (people center) came from China, or even from far...
Let's assume we have 2 similar stories, with similar functionality and same technologies. The team is new to the functionality and technology, so the same...
In my humble opinion: In your specific example, since the team would have learned more about the functionality and technology, it is perfectly normal they take...
On the same topic... If it is command-and-control on the "what" AND the "how", innovation ability is certainly limited to the persons in the hierarchy that...
hi brain, In such case, we'd like to keep the estimated points of 2nd PBI untouched since the relative volume compared with the 1st one doesn't change at all. ...
Hi, Self-managing team is one of the keys in Scrum, thus, if you want to have a successful implementation, this is the must. Culture factor has impact on how...

In Scrum, in the middle of a Sprint you are not allowed to add new story into the ongoing Sprint. This works fine for development and fixing known bugs. Though...
For your case, to be more accurate with the concepts, The initial estimation are: #1: 13 SP (not in hours) #2: 13 SP #3: 3 SP (roughly about 1/3 of #1 & #2) ...
hi brian, if your way to re-estimate works well you may need to stick with it. One concern would be the uncertain of the improvment of team's velocity....
Hi Brian, Interestingly enough, I was in Japan giving a Scrum training at the moment you send this mail :) Scrum is growing quite rapidly in Japan, but it is...
Thanks for the update. I was working for Accenture for some time and some of my ex coworkers working on Japanese projects. The so called ADM (Accenture...
Much of Accenture is still traditional waterfall. I know that Accenture Finland has been quite active in adopting Scrum, but they told me they are an exception...
My thinking is whether to introduce new practices is first taking a look at the team and see what problems there are. Of course it's never bad to learn some...
To my knowledge of Scrum the PO is outside of the team. Just get to know there's an alternative approach: PO is part of the team, and he is the team lead and...
Thanks for the resource. My another view is scrumban is still scrum based, while in BUGS hunting team (some organization exist), we could have kanban based...
