Qualification Experiment
The qualification experiment is the unFIX approach to certifications
Worldline’s unFIX Journey
Worldline is the leading payments company in Europe and they are also pioneering the way they work!
Value Is Customer Experience, Not Customer Expectation
The biggest mistake that agilists make is to misunderstand the meaning of value. It’s not about increasing the speed of deployments and releasing as often as possible. Value is customer experience, not customer expectation.
The Multiteaming Way: Organized Anarchy at a Startup Company
Multiteaming is a form of organized anarchy. A whole-team method for everything doesn't work for us. And one person per area also doesn't work. Multiteaming is a practical solution for now.
Explore the Nature of Decision-making with The Roadmap of Death Serious Game
Discovering the nature of decision-making is a clear aspect of creating self-organized teams that can take responsibility for their actions. Understanding the available decision methods and applying them with our teams is a giant step toward progress in our companies.
We Don't Believe in an Implementation Roadmap.
An agile transformation is not a step-by-step process with a linear roadmap. It is messy, fuzzy, and non-linear. You must revisit each stream of the Innovation Vortex regularly, and your organization design will never achieve the status of Done. The best you can aim for is Good Enough for Now.
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.
The 25 Drives Grid
Human motivation is an essential topic for product managers and change leaders. Without motivation, clients won’t consider trying out our products, and co-workers won’t be interested in changing their ways of working.
unFIX at VRT NU/VRT MAX (Case Study)
When working in an agile context, a lot of the unFIX patterns will probably feel very familiar. They make for a flexible toolkit that can be used to describe a wide variety of organization forms.
BBVA Next Technologies Unfixed (Case Study of a FinTech Unit)
I evaluated the current organizational structure of BBVA Next Technologies and what I found was organized chaos. And I mean that in the best possible way! 😁
We All Have Portfolios; Everyone Is a Strategist.
The complex systems approach is that vision, strategy, tactics, and execution exist at each level of the organization. The only things that change are the scope of the options and how we want to handle the division of labor.
It Depends and Everything Is Optional
It might be better if agile frameworks were decomposed into pattern libraries, similar to unFIX. It all depends on context, and everything is optional.
Try: Cheap, Safe, and Fast—Don’t Fail.
You only fail when you waste your money, health, or time. And you fail when you stop trying and learned nothing.
