Specialisation increase is wrong because it can lead to both contrainst and risk. Such individuals can form a
bottleneck (constraint) and also are a risk in terms of them leaving. The agile approach is to ensure that all
specialist roles are covered by an overlap with other roles 9T-Shaping) to reduce this constraint and risk.

Reducing time allocated to retrospectives might provide a short term (minor) boost to productivity but long term if
the team is not regularly meeting to inspect and adapt their process the engineering system will degrade.

it is indeed a myth that autonomy (and self-organisation) of teams be unconstrained. Such an approach,
especially in a scaled environment, would lead to chaos.

Yet it is also true that innovation and creativity come from teams operating with the optimal level of self-
organisation and autonomy, within the framework of the organisation.

When Demingh says that management cannot delegate change, this is part of what cannot be delegated.

Autonomy and self-organisation must have clear boundaries, aligned to organisational purpose.

W. Edwards Deming states that it is sufficient that top management commit themselves for life to quality and

True 0

False 1

Here is the actual quote from Deming

Support of top management is not sufficient.

It is not enough that top management commit themselves for life to quality and productivity. They must
know what it is that they are committed to — that is, what they must do. These obligations cannot be
delegated. Support is not enough: action is required.

Innovation Accounting (Eric Ries) uses the following three basic steps:

1) It uses a minimal viable product (MVP) to establish real data on where the company stands at any
given juncture. An MVP is the fastest way to establish a customer feedback loop with minimal output of effort.

Its primary goal is to test fundamental business hypotheses without having to perfect the product or service in
question too prematurely.
2) Using the MVP, start-ups, through many Your

then reaches a decision point. answer

3) At this juncture, a company is either making solid progress toward the ideal enough that it makes sense to
continue, or persevere. If not, the strategy must be deemed flawed and in need of serious change―or as Ries
labels it, a pivot, which starts the process all over again and in a more productive fashion than before.
