A "product development management framework" strikes me as accurate and does not conflict with other meanings I attribute to those words. Best, -greg...
Thanks Mark for the clarification. Although we can certainly pick up on the 'efficiency' aspects of Lean manufacturing we are still not turning out the same...
Hi Dave ... But isn't the SWN philosophy supposed to 'motivate' its 'owner'? ... Sgreed on that. ... Agreed but if the developers get it wrong, whose neck gets...
Dave, when you say "the Scrum ideal is to have the entire Team equally responsible for all of the deliverables" you are completely missing the point. Yes, they...
Last place I worked we called it the "ONTC" for "One Neck To Choke" and, yes, it means "accountable" - John Aiken ... Last place I worked we called it the...
On Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 2:05 PM, Dan Rawsthorne ... So, now that we are clear what Ken thinks, which is all well and good, is it useful to point out that this...
Well, I doubt very much that Ken will reply to a thread of this nature, but what Dan is saying is consistent with what Ken has said in the past. Ken also says...
Hi Steve: I struggled for a bit to figure out how to respond to this. The problem is that you are advocating a position that I don't disagree with. What I have...
Hi Steve ... I don't think this is in the realm of 'agree or disagree' I think this is me using one name for a belief system, or behavior (as I have observed...
Hi Malocolm some interesting points. I now understand that your "... The PO is the captain of the unit" was by way of definition rather than assertion -...
Yes to #1. Not exactly to #2. I would re-phrase it as: I think people that have that view don't know very much about Scrum. One might say I don't respect...
Paul, ... I don't agree with the premise. I can agree with the first part(process framework), but don't agree with "is agnostic of the actual work being...
Hello, Charles. On Wednesday, June 29, 2011, at 4:01:10 AM, you ... Do you see the possibility that someone might actually know a hell of a lot about Scrum,...
Hello, Steve. On Wednesday, June 29, 2011, at 3:42:12 AM, you ... This could be a really good position. It is not, however, the position held by the Scrum...
Hello, Charles. On Wednesday, June 29, 2011, at 4:06:46 AM, you ... I'm pretty sure the Scrum founders and many rather respectable Scrum people do not agree...
... I'm not sure that philosophies are supposed to motivate anyone. Aren't they just frameworks for ways of interpreting the world? ... Well, if it happens...
... I'd wonder in such a case who the PO really is. When a task is delegated to a subordinate, the manager isn't abdicating responsibility or accountability...
Hi Malcolm, I wanted to comment about this part of your response: "There are two different definitions of command and control. About a year and a half ago,...
Diana Exactly. Before going into boot camp, I was given the problem of putting up a flagpole and started trying to figure it out how to put up a flag pole. My...
Hi Steve ... MalcoLm ... Pretty much yes, the officer or PO is accountable. In theory, yes, the CEO is ultimately accountable to the board of directors for...
The more I think about it the more I feel like this discussion about accountability is answering the wrong question. What we need is an ability to make...
Adam It's not about the blame. The blame aspect is there, but it's only a diagnostic tool to determine who might be the PO. Beyond that it's irrelevant except...
1. Yes. I laid out my case/offer of proof, and I would expect that someone who has more knowledge would state their case and we'd both learn from the...

Hello, Charles. On Wednesday, June 29, 2011, at 5:11:12 PM, you ... If Ken actually believes that, which I doubt, one needs to ask what Jeff thinks, and why...
I can't help but notice that Ron's approach sounds a whole lot more in line with the Agile Manifesto. Neither Ken nor Jeff claim to have invented Scrum; I...
