Episode 37 – Agile Wants To Be Simple

* There’s so much focus on frameworks and subtlety of practice
*

* Frameworks - definitions of roles, processes, interactions, flows, inputs and outputs
* Subtleties - prescriptive techniques and tools
* Frameworks Don’t fix Fear. They attempt to compensate for it, and fail
* Frameworks are expensive. So are elite teams. We shouldn’t try to build them across an entire enterprise and
* Subtlety and Complexity really only feeds the cash register


* I think we should focus on something more organic.
*

* Vision
* Courage
* Influence
* Focus
* High-Performance Teams


* Focus on the fundamentals - the Agile Keys. The things that make great work no matter what arena
*

* Have a Vision
* Prioritize
* Do Focused Work
* Keep Promises
* Be Open about where you are
* Always Improve


* Great Leadership, and the Will to Execute, come from the Gut
* Frameworks are more safeguard than meaningful work. If you need safeguards, why not learn and build as you go?
* In 6 months, would you rather roll out a safety framework, or product that works?
