Mit PSTs Simon Flossmann and Martina Luenzmann

Scrum gibt es seit mehr als 25 Jahren. Es ist ein einfaches Rahmenwerk, um für komplexe Probleme erfolgreich Lösungen zu gestalten, die dabei Wert generieren sowohl für den Kunden als auch für den Produzenten. Obwohl es leicht und einfach zu verstehen ist, kann es schwierig sein, Wertschöpfung effektiv zu gestalten und zu maximieren.

Die Verwendung von Scrum stellt selbst erfahrene Product Owner:innen oder Produkt Manager:innen häufig vor Fragen wie zum Beispiel:

- Wie erweitere ich mein Mandat als Product Owner:in auch in einem traditionell geprägten Unternehmen?
- Wie lässt sich die Kommunikation mit Stakeholder:innen und Entwickler:innen noch produktiver gestalten?
- Wie optimiere ich die Gestaltung meiner Product Owner Verantwortung in einem skalierten Umfeld, d.h. wenn ich mit vielen Teams an dem Produkt arbeite?
- Wie kann ich in einem Umfeld mit kontroversen Kundenrückmeldungen Entscheidungen effektiver treffen?
-Wie kann ich Kund:innen und Nutzer:innen noch besser verstehen, um die Wertschöpfung für das Produkt zu maximieren?
- Wie vereinfache und beschleunige ich die Entdeckung neuer Innovationen, die signifikant den Wert des Produkts für Kund:innen und Nutz:innen erhöhen?

In dieser Folge von Ask a Professional Scrum Trainer beantworten Professional Scrum Trainer Martina Luenzmann und Simon Flossmann in einer Live-Sitzung deine dringendsten Fragen, wie Product Owner:innen noch erfolgreicher werden können.

Great Scrum Teams are self-managing, cross-functional and have the ability and skills necessary to drive to successful outcomes. However, team interactions don’t always go as expected and can cause conflict or roadblocks. Effective facilitation can help the Scrum Team move forward toward their desired outcomes. Within the Scrum events and beyond there are a lot of opportunities where good facilitation can help teams work better together.

In this episode of Ask a Professional Scrum Trainer moderated by Patricia Kong, PSTs Simon Flossmann and David Spinks answer your burning questions about Scrum and the challenges you or your teams may be facing when using Scrum, particularly within the Scrum events and other scenarios when it may be difficult to reach a decision on things, that could be resolved with good facilitation techniques and skills.

Einer der Hauptgründe für diesen Konflikt zwischen den Prozessen ist der Glaube, dass es sich um radikal unterschiedliche Arbeitsweisen handelt, die von verschiedenen Disziplinen entwickelt wurden.

Scrum ist nur für Entwickler und Lean UX nur für Designer, richtig?

Nein!

Beide Ansätze vereint der Wunsch, die Kunden zu begeistern. Auch wenn beide Vorgehen das gleiche Ziel eint, kämpfen viele Scrum Teams und UX-Professionals damit, beide Welten zusammen zu bringen.

Fragst du dich, ob

Designaktivitäten nicht einen Sprint vor der Entwicklungsarbeit stattfinden sollen?
die Definition of Done auch für die Entdeckungsarbeit gilt?
es auch irgendwie ohne dedizierten Designer im Scrum Team geht?
reine „Lern-Sprints” in Scrum erlaubt sind?

Wenn du nach Antworten zu diesen oder ähnlichen Fragen suchst, dann melde dich zu dieser Episode von „Ask a Professional Scrum Trainer” an. Dort beantworten die Professional Scrum Trainer Boris Steiner und Simon Flossmann alle deine Fragen, wie du Scrum und UX in einem Team vereinen kannst.

There are seemingly countless ways to help agile teams become more effective. At the end of the day though, when it comes to truly unlocking the full potential of an agile team and reaping all the benefits Professional Scrum has to offer, people, teams, and organizations have to embrace new ways of thinking. And if you’re a Scrum Master, Agile Coach, or another type of change agent in an organization, it can be challenging to encourage people on their journey to embrace new ways of thinking and working.

Fortunately, we can lean on coaching to aid us in this work. Coaching is a non-directive way of meeting a person where they are on their journey, helping them connect with their existing talent and wisdom, and leading them to find within themselves what it takes to try new things. Additionally, coaching is critical for enabling change and transformation that sticks.

In this episode of Ask a PST moderated by Leslie Morse, Steve Trapps and Stephanie Ockerman join to discuss the coaching stance and answer questions from the audience about coaching.
