The main issue my teams have been facing with Agile methodologies is the number of the workflow interruptions built in. The only team members happy with those interruptions were Scrum Masters and PO's but that's because those were parts of their flows, so they had to have them in order to have their job done.
The only long term solution for us was to have days dedicated to Agile ceremonies and days where no team member can be interrupted based on an agile ceremony need (there were few exceptions, like critical bug discovery, etc.). In weekly sprints, we had at least 3.5 days of uninterrupted time and in two-week sprints we had 7-7.5.
That changed a lot the pace of those sprints as people had a lot of time to do their job and everyone was happy.
- anthonyrstevens 6y agoBy "ceremonies", are you referring to daily standups? And/or something else?
- illuminated 6y agoEverything but the daily standups... We had each day to begin with it, and it was great as it provided a more broad visibility into what is being done, if there are any issues, etc. But every other agile related meeting was a ceremony we have tried to manage as best as possible while not blocking its benefits.
