During my thinking of agile and how I can be happy at work (thanks to flow book ) I found 3 ideas that guide creation of a lot of lean/agile practices:
Details on these practices will be discussed in later posts.- inspect and adapt - understand where you are and what can be changed. Retrospectives and demo are good example of it implemented.
- art of possible - what can be done better or automated or ignored? Facing your challenges provoke your brain to work on solution, even unconsciously
- timeframe - plan is not a plan without reasonable timing. that's why proper stand-up meeting and iterations timing give you a lot of information to think about and be in touch with reality. Pomodoro technique is a great example of this on personal level.
Interesting question here is how personal practices corelate with team practices, for example pair programming and TDD ? And how personal effectiveness causes/permits team effectiveness?
I really should mention The 3 Pillars of Personal Effectiveness in this post, very interesting reading in GTD category.
