Thinking this morning about a conversation I had yesterday at happy hour with several truly impressive human beings.
Some characteristics of a high performance Lean-Agile team:
- no longer needs a scrum master or lean agile leader
- uses the best of Scrum as an empirical framework for an amazingly lean sustainable flow process
- also uses principles of Lean and a Kanban system
- has a natural affinity for pulling the right work at the right time
- possesses high trust within the team and externally known to consistently deliver successful outcomes; builds trust with other teams
- regularly pushes the boundaries of what is possible as innovators
- cares deeply about people and the organization
- committed to continuous learning and relentless improvement
What else?
