The Most Underrated Advantage of Short Sprints - Mike CohnA recent Gallup survey found that 80% of employees who received meaningful feedback in the past week are engaged at work.For comparison, Gallup’s overall engagement numbers are often around 30%.That’s a striking gap.It suggests something many leaders overlook: performance may depend less on changing team structure and more on improving feedback inside the structure you already have.When results lag, organizations often reach for the org

Agile Anti-Patterns That Are Impacting Your Velocity

2026/03/03

Agile Anti-Patterns That Are Impacting Your VelocityVelocity is not vanity. It is feedback. When velocity stops reflecting reality, the team loses the ability to learn and improve. Velocity that lies is worse than no velocity at all. The goal here is clarity, speed, and humane work rhythms.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠- [facebook] ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/⁠-

Sprint Goals DONT Work - Or Do They?

The Agile Daily Standup - AgileDad ·

2026/03/02

Sprint Goals DON'T Work - Or Do They? Sprint Goals sound beautifully simple.Set a goal for the team, organize the work around it, track progress daily, and finish with success.Sounds easy enough. And that’s exactly why it’s so hard.Behind this deceptively simple concept hides one of the most difficult ideas in Agile. As the Scrum Guide says:“Scrum is lightweight, simple to understand, difficult to master.”Sprint Goals are the perfect example of that. Even when you think you’re doing them right,

Why are managers there at all? - The Agile MindsetJust recently my colleague and friend Zoran Vujkov has drawn my attention to the following clip discussing trends in adoption of agile in large companies. I recommend the clip (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgBhZIjgTw4&feature=youtu.be) for watching if you already haven’t.Among a lot of information about the speed of agile adoption and critical factors for it, one thing caught my eye — importance of executive sponsorship.No doubt, this is a

How Much Are Meetings Hurting You? - Mike CohnI’m emailing because we keep seeing the same issue surface in different organizations, even where teams are experienced and committed.If something isn’t working, it will usually show up in your meetings first. That’s because work habits show up in real meetings, under real pressure.If planning, reviews, retrospectives, and daily scrums aren’t working, agile won’t work. That’s where priorities get set, decisions get made, and trade-offs happen (or

The Three Paths Scrum OpensI have watched teams celebrate their “perfect Sprint.” Every ceremony attended. Every artifact updated. Every role filled. And yet their product no closer to solving the user’s problem than it was three Sprints ago.

5 Habits to Keep Your Team MotivatedManaging a team is never easy, and one of the biggest challenges is keeping everyone motivated. Motivation doesn’t come from long meetings or fancy speeches. It comes from small, everyday habits that keep energy, focus, and inspiration alive.Things like starting the day with open communication, recognizing effort right away, or giving quick feedback may seem small, but when done daily, they make a big difference. Over time, these habits build a culture where your

Rebuilding Psychological Safety

2026/02/09

Rebuilding Psychological SafetyIf people feel unsafe, they do the minimum and pray no one notices. If the bar is too low, everyone’s happy… until the customer sees the work. The sweet spot? High safety and high standards. People speak up, try things, and still hit the mark. Think: honest kitchen with a strict head chef, and nobody burns the risotto, but jokes are allowed.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠-

Agile Is Not a Process. It’s How Smart Teams Think.Most people think agile is Jira boards, sprints, standups, and sticky notes.Here’s the thing.Those are just tools.Agile is a mindset about how work *should* move in a world that refuses to stay predictable.If you’ve ever worked on a project where requirements changed, deadlines shifted, or priorities flipped overnight, you already know why traditional project management struggles.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠-

Why Soft Skills Outlast Technical Skills on Product Teams - Mike CohnAnyone who has worked in product development for more than a few years has seen the same pattern repeat itself.The technical skills that once felt essential gradually—or sometimes suddenly—become obsolete. Tools change. Frameworks fall out of favor. Architectures that once seemed modern start to look dated.This isn’t new, but it is accelerating.The half-life of technical skills keeps shrinking, especially in technology. In the

What Is Scope Churn? Businesses naturally want predictability from their software organizations. Promises have been made to customers, and there are business objectives to deliver as well. Often, those things have little to no wiggle room. The head of Marketing says “This must be completed on time, because we have a trade show on March 1st, and we have committed to present there.” The head of Product says “The only way we could save this angry customer was to promise that this would be completed on

Agile Failed Us After 18 Months - Here we go...On month eighteen, our average lead time crossed 27 days. Production defects doubled. A supposedly minor release missed its window by three weeks.Nothing had “broken.” Velocity charts still looked healthy. Every ceremony was running on time. But releases slowed, confidence eroded, and engineers stopped believing what the board said.This hurt because customers felt it immediately. Bugs lived longer, features arrived stale, and every delay came with an

Ernest Shackleton and Leadership When Everything Falls ApartIn 1914, Ernest Shackleton set out on what was supposed to be one of the greatest expeditions in history: the first land crossing of Antarctica. His ship, the Endurance, carried 27 men into one of the most unforgiving environments on Earth.What happened next is the part that matters.The ship never reached Antarctica.Instead, it became trapped in pack ice for months—until the pressure finally crushed the ship.

Using AI to Go From User Insight to Better Backlogs - Mike CohnAI is rapidly changing how product teams work—but the biggest opportunity isn’t replacing product thinking. It’s reducing the friction between understanding users and turning those insights into high-quality backlog items.To make the ideas concrete, I use a consistent example throughout: a team building software for valet-attended parking garages, initially selling to independent operations like boutique hotels.

Story Point Estimations are failing your Team! - Here We Go Again...Story Pointing wasn’t a completely novel idea. It evolved out of the Delphi method — a research technique that helped drive consensus and forecasting built on collective wisdom. In 1950s, RAND Corporation began using it as a way to forecast the effect of technology on warfare.So, it wasn’t just an idea dreamed up by someone in the Agile community randomly — no. It’s actually based on a scientific approach. Something that’s been

What Makes a Great Scrum Master?When people ask me, “What does it take to be a great Scrum Master?” my first response is always — In what kind of organization?It’s not a dodge. It’s the most honest answer I can give.We talk about Scrum Masters as if the role is universal — a fixed job description that applies equally everywhere. But the reality?The Scrum Master navigating a twenty — person startup looks completely different from one guiding a 200-person enterprise team.And both are doing the job

The 7 Two-Minute Habits That Make People Actually Want to Follow You1) Active Listen BurstHere’s the move: give someone 60 seconds of your full attention, then paraphrase what they said and ask one clarifying question. The moment someone starts speaking, resist the urge to formulate your response. Instead, just listen. Then say: “So what I’m hearing is ____. Did I miss anything?” This works because people trust leaders who make them feel truly seen — and it clears up confusion before solutions start

Start The Year With a Clean Backlog - Mike CohnThink outside the box.Do you hate that phrase as much as I do?It’s become another overused business cliché, and it bothers me for another reason: Creativity often comes from thinking inside the box.This is especially true in agile story-writing workshops. The difference between a successful story-writing workshop and one that fails to deliver often comes down to a single factor:Whether or not the product owner defines a clear, significant objective: a

The OKR Illusion, Why Structure Without Direction Is Just NoiseOKRs (Objectives and Key Results) have gained significant traction over the past decade, especially after being widely adopted and championed by companies like Google. Originally developed at Intel, OKRs are a simple yet powerful framework for setting and tracking goals. At their core, OKRs are about defining what you want to achieve (Objectives) and how you’ll measure progress (Key Results). While the concept is simple, the impact lies
