  • YDS: How Do You Measure the Success of a Scrum Team?

    Todd and Ryan argue that measuring a scrum team's success should not be based solely on the number of story points completed per Sprint. Instead, they suggest considering factors such as the team's ability to innovate, deliver quickly, and fulfill outcome-oriented business objectives for the customer. Todd and Ryan warn against using busyness as a measure of success and emphasizes the importance of focusing on external outcomes. They suggest using a framework such as Evidence-Based Management (EBM) to measure success and incrementally increase Sprint by Sprint.

      • YDS: How Do Flow Metrics in the Daily Scrum Work?

        This video is about the use of flow metrics in the Daily Scrum, a 15-minute time-boxed event where the scrum team gets together to plan their collaboration for the day and inspect their progress towards the Sprint goal. As a reminder, The four flow metrics are cycle time, throughput, WIP limits, and work item age. Prateek, Todd, and Ryan recommend using work item age and cycle time in the daily scrum, with work item age being the elapsed time between when work starts and the current time. The scrum team should clearly define work item age's starting and endpoints. Give these techniques a try, and let us know how it goes in the comment section.

        • YDS: How Do Flow Metrics in Sprint Planning Work?

          The video is about flow metrics in Sprint Planning on a Scrum Team. The speaker is joined by Pratik Singh, Head of Learning and Development at ProKanban.org, to discuss how flow metrics can be used in Sprint Planning. Todd and Ryan mention that many people have debated the usefulness of story points and how flow metrics can be a better solution. They mention that throughput is the most suitable flow metric for Sprint planning as it measures the number of things getting done per unit of time. The conversation also discusses how throughput can replace story points and velocity in Sprint planning.

                  • YDS: Our Product Owner Won't Create a Sprint Goal!

                    Ryan and Todd discuss a common issue in Scrum where a product owner is unwilling to create a sprint goal. They suggest that it may be due to outside pressure and suggest approaching the problem with empathy and understanding. They recommend understanding the root cause of the product owner's frustration, exploring the possibility of pressure from above, and discussing the benefits of having a sprint goal. Ryan and Tood also suggest that shifting the product owner's mindset may take time and several discussions. They also suggest exploring product goals, which are the longer-term objectives of the Scrum team.

                    • YDS: Should We Track Business Value as We Would Velocity?

                      Todd and Ryan discuss tracking business value as a metric similar to velocity. They believe that measuring business value is essential for understanding the success of products and that evidence-based management is a good approach. They also suggest that metrics such as cycle time, throughput, and item age may be more beneficial than velocity. They caution against using perceived business value, the perceived value of a product backlog item, instead of validated business value, which is the actual value delivered to customers. Todd and Ryan suggest that product owners should strive to measure validated business value and that evidence-based management can help in this respect.
