Agile Frameworks alleine machen ein Team nicht erfolgreich.

Manche Menschen stammen aus Team Kulturen, wo das Hinterfragen sogar bestraft wurde. Es dauert also bis sie das Vertrauen zu einer neuen Kultur aufbauen. Es ist die Aufgabe von <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ProductLeadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ProductLeadership</span></a> eine Kultur mit hoher psychologischen Sicherheit aufzubauen und die Entscheidungsprozesse so zu definieren, dass das Team wirklich ermächtigt wird und nicht als <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FeatureFactory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FeatureFactory</span></a> arbeiten muss.</p>
Rosanna Sibora<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@DJGummikuh" class="u-url mention">@<span>DJGummikuh</span></a></span> Ein sehr interessanter Thread!

Die stärkere Abstufung davon gibt den Teams nicht mal die Möglichkeit das „Wie“ zu definieren. Ich finde so ein Setup kontraproduktiv. Die Menschen fühlen sich in solchen Strukturen nicht wohl &amp; die implementierten Lösungen werden mittelfristig viele Probleme bereiten. </p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/productmanagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>productmanagement</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/productleadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>productleadership</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/agile" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>agile</span></a></p>

Credits an Marty Cagan und Teresa Torres. :) hier eine gute Zusammenfassung zu diesem Thema in der Praxis: <a href="https://www.productcompass.pm/p/product-trio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">productcompass.pm/p/product-tr</span><span class="invisible">io</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/productmanagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>productmanagement</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/productleadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>productleadership</span></a></p>
Rosanna Sibora<p>So what are the best practices you can consider as a product team?</p><p>- add automated testing<br />- define consistent terminology<br />- add peer reviews<br />- limit work in progress<br />- prioritize quality over speed, e.g. kill deadlines and only work with clear scope and prioritization<br />- co-create this change with your team</p><p>What are your best practices for dealing with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/techdebt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>techdebt</span></a> ?</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/productleadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>productleadership</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/productmanagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>productmanagement</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>leadership</span></a></p>
Rosanna Sibora<p>Should you deliver a perfect code?</p><p>No, it’s not about spending endless time making the code PERFECT. Every team has tech debt. The problem arises when there is no strategy to tackle the tech debt on a regular basis and it accumulates over time.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/productleadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>productleadership</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/productmanagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>productmanagement</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>leadership</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/techdebt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>techdebt</span></a></p>
Rosanna Sibora<p>What are the symptoms of accumulated tech debt?</p><p>- slower delivery of new solutions<br />- high development costs<br />- bugs and low quality product<br />- low user satisfaction<br />- high complexity<br />- team member frustration, stress and burnout<br />- tech debt spiral, where you create a hack for a hack</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/productleadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>productleadership</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/productmanagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>productmanagement</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>leadership</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/techdebt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>techdebt</span></a></p>
Rosanna Sibora<p>What are the root causes of tech debt?</p><p>- pressure from management or sales to prioritize speed of delivery over quality of delivery<br />- unrealistic deadlines<br />- feature-factory mindset<br />- short-term thinking<br />- architecture decisions based on wrong assumptions about the future of the product<br />- quick and dirty hacks that work in the short term but turn out to be problematic in the future<br />- lack of trust<br />- lack of education on tech debt</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/techdebt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>techdebt</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/productmanagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>productmanagement</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/productleadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>productleadership</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>leadership</span></a></p>
Rosanna Sibora<p>But what exactly is tech debt?</p><p>Tech debt is suboptimal code implementation. It’s lost of productivity due to past technical decisions. It&#39;s very much a cultural issue, not necessarily a technical one, and a question of how much patience we have. Dealing with tech debt is an investment in the health of the team and the product, and in the long-term speed of delivery.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/productleadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>productleadership</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/productmanagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>productmanagement</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>leadership</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/techdebt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>techdebt</span></a></p>
Rosanna Sibora<p>🧵 If product teams were to make New Year&#39;s resolutions…<br />Best practices for dealing with tech debt.</p><p>One of the most powerful ways to speed up the product development process is to tackle tech debt on a regular basis. I once read a comment from a developer, that tech debt feels like having a ball on a chain around your ankles. Any movement within the team is slow and painful.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/productleadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>productleadership</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/productmanagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>productmanagement</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>leadership</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/techdebt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>techdebt</span></a></p>
