Summary

Leise Passer Jensen reiterates based on her own experience how an unhappy team squeezed into Scrum was demotivated and inefficient to deliver while another team she calls the "happy team", leveraged kanban and successfully kept an existing system in the organization in good shape. She argues that using the wrong frameworks that are unfit for the situation is very demotivating and inefficient for teams and there is always a lightweight facilitation principle that can be used to make demotivated teams invent their own effective way of working with their board instead.

Takeaways

  • There is a lightweight facilitation principle that can be used to make demotivated teams invent their own effective way of working with their board(s)
  • Using the wrong frameworks that are unfit for the situation could be very demotivating and inefficient for teams
