So what can be done to address the issues of Quarterly planning I laid out in Part 1? How can we allow conversations and ideas around what we might get our valuable teams to spend their time on to form and solidify, including the permutations and risks and challenges that they are going to face? How did I help this become a reality in a very large corporation who were invested in this process? 

In this multi-part blog series, I'll delve into the problems inherent in large batch quarterly planning, drawing from my challenging experience at two of Australia's largest banks, as well as other large corporations. I'll also highlight the common pitfalls you should avoid and the tangible benefits you can reap, including significant time savings and the early delivery of value.

Why do we expect our Scrum Masters / Delivery Managers / Delivery Leads / Iteration Managers to coach and teach as well as do? You can’t apply knowledge that you don’t have.

Do you want to be taught by a Coach, or coached by a teacher? Or both, by a doer?

THE TROUBLE WITH FRAMEWORKS

Some people install the practices, processes and governance parts of agility and neglect to attend to Principles, Values and Behaviours. Framework salespeople are incentivised to implement overly prescriptive heavy frameworks, because it’s a money making machine for them. Paying for certifications makes the Framework owner money, but does it make you better at delivering value?
