What’s Next After Agile? (Survey Results)
Last month, we conducted a survey titled “Agile Is Not Dying; It's Dissolving—What Now?” In this survey, we asked three questions: What is now the main concern or interest of higher management? What happens with budgets that were previously spent on Agile? What is the next big thing worth talking about, after Agile?
Checklist for Workshop Organizers
I decided to make a checklist for in-person workshops. Most items on this list are based on my own experiences. The result is a list of 52 checklist items. You may want to use this list to check how many points your workshop organizer earned. 😉
Draw your Base(s) with the unFIX Plotter
Do you remember the time when you wanted to draw your first Value Stream Crew? Do you also remember the feeling when reality kicked in, and you’ve realized that they expect you to copy and paste shapes from bloody PowerPoint slides?

Agility Scales Is Dead. Long Live The unFIX Company.
By shedding the language of our past, we can more easily cut a path toward the future.
The next phase: Formation and Validation
How do we turn unFIX into a viable business that helps people make their own methods? How do we help organizations to scale out rather than scale up?
Find the Why with Jobs-to-Be-Done
Why are we still talking about product backlogs and product roadmaps? Shouldn’t they be experience backlogs and experience roadmaps? Successful companies optimize their value streams around the Jobs-to-Be-Done and the experiences that they want customers to have.
Don't implement frameworks; try some patterns.
Patterns, recipes, and practices are descriptions of observable forms or outcomes. They are not something to be implemented.
unFIX Foundation workshop (a reflection)
This week, I attended an amazing two days #unfix workshop in Munich. We had so many challenging topics and conversations. The headline is #unFIX. Questioning organisational models and understanding the design patterns.
