Agile isn’t a methodology – a set of fixed and typically highly prescriptive set of processes. Agile frameworks define a purposefully minimal and incomplete set of approaches to planning, managing, and executing work.
Agile frameworks typically fall into two categories:
Ultimately, each framework operates as the guardrails – the minimum set of rules – for teams to self-manage within.
What did the team do that caused quality to improve or get worse? When did this occur?
Did the number of items that got to Done go up or down? What did the team do that caused this to happen?
Was it easier to see the status of work and progress toward the Sprint Goal? Did stakeholders find it easier to understand these things? Why?
Was collaboration more effective? What did the team do to make them feel this way? Ensure you know the cause so you can repeat it next time.
Did stakeholders report they felt more engaged? What did the team do to cause this? How will you make sure it happens again?
Did the team achieve its goal? What did they do this time that meant the goal was achieved? Make sure you know the cause so you can repeat it next Sprint.
