Multifunctional Learning & the reusable Sprint Backlog
2 oktober 2015
Have you ever seen a Sprint Backlog that can be reused across Sprints? I have! A reusable Sprint Backlog contains obvious tasks, for example tasks like ’write code’, ‘make test scripts’ , ‘execute test cases’ and so on. These tasks are too trivial to be useful and undermine one of the fundamentals of Scrum. Let […]
These days scaling Scrum is a hot topic. How can I use Scrum to deliver a big product with multiple teams? The most common approach I see at my customers is scaling Scrum by adding more Scrum teams with a Product Owner and Scrum Master per team. Scaling using Copy-Paste Scaling is about increasing in […]
Some companies develop 1 product with 10s to 100s of people using Scrum. And they do that without adding any roles, events or processes to Scrum. They can do this because they use an organisational design that optimises for the right goals. Design Goals An organisation has a design, just like a truck or a […]

Over the last weeks I’ve been working on a paper about the role of a Business Analysts within Large Scale Scrum, and I thought I’d write a little post on it too, here it goes.

Back in the early days of Scrum, the Scrum Master role was exciting. The days of the pigs & chickens, the days when being a Scrum Master was considered dangerous. In those times there was the saying a dead Scrum Master is a useless Scrum Master And even today I still use that when selecting […]
I was coaching a number of teams and their Sprint Reviews were boring status meetings and few stakeholders attended. I see this pattern often at companies and the reason for poor stakeholder attendance is that the discussion about added value happens in other meetings. In this post I want to share a little model based […]

PSPO Training | Marc Maessen
Hele leerzame en inspiratievolle training die aangepast kan worden naar de wens van de cursisten en zo toegespitst wordt op hetgeen het meest gevraagd benodigd is. Cesario is een trainer met een zeer grote schat aan ervaring en kennis en kan daardoor snel en adequaat de situatie anticiperen, de training bijsturen en de theorie aanvullen met real life voorbeelden die hij zelf heeft ondervonden. Zeer waardevolle hulpmiddelen en aftercare toegereikt gekregen en dus al met al uitermate tevreden. Absolute aanrader !!!
