Daily Scrum Thoughts

The product owner should be as close to the team as helps the product, they should not use that as a means to yank the team around.
The open ended exploration techniques outlined in innovation games is a great way to explore a new group. #agile #scrum
@kjohri why does visibility or lack of have anything to do with fixing the sprint?
@kjohri available on a day to day basis to answer questions when needed... The work should still be visible! Not opaque
@kjohri also if the process is opaque to the product owner then it is probably opaque to many of the team members...Engage the product owner
Services

Our Advanced Services

These services are for those organizations that wish a deeper dive into software product development. These types of services are called “advanced” because they require a deep commitment on our part and yours. These are the engagements that offer the most interesting perspective to us because we get to see your team’s change over a length of time and you get us committed to a longer road than otherwise. We often find that these types of engagements emerge from simply taking a training course or seminar from us.

Training

Our training courses are focused on applied agile concepts that help you put the ideas to work.

 

Seeded Teams

For organizations wishing to jump start teams with highly skilled people who have been there and done that. We offer a combination of coaching and skilled dedicated talent by working with our partnership network. Our goal is to help you set up and reap the benefits from hyper-performing teams.

Tools, Tools, Tools

Managing the work for distributed teams is hard. There are so many tools out there that offer a plethora of features. We prefer tools that are not trying to be the "Swiss Army Knife" of tools. As a result we have established relationships with VersionOne and other specialized tool providers. Please contact us for a consultation on setting up teams with tools and how not to fall prey to the "One tool Does All" approach.

Select Projects

For select projects, 3back staff will engage long term and put our “boots on the ground” with your staff. To engage us in this type of work we will need to have preliminary conversation to see if a match of resources, talent and desire exists on both sides.

Agile Assessments

How ready are you for adopting agile? Are you making good use of the agile teams that you have? Is the decline into calcification inevitable? We can help your organization realize and continue to realize the benefits of agile teams. It does not have to be a process of "a new thing" that gets standardized and then falls into the habit of over complicating simple concepts that work. Keep you teams and organization supple.
