Technical Agile Coaching - Activity: Dichotomy Cards

2022-08-15

Here’s an training activity I came up with a few years ago that I love to do when I want attendees to research a topic on their own. It is great when there are two opposing sides to the topic, and you want attendees to research both sides. If there aren’t two sides, you can often create them ;)

After a two-year break caused by the COVID pandemic, I started a technical agile coaching assignment again in August 2022. In this series, I want to write about how I coach, what I do different than in the past, etc.

Why Speed is Key

2021-04-23

There are two teams. Both develop the same feature. In both cases, developing the feature takes 15 Person Days. In both cases, the feature provides the same value over time after it has been deployed.

The only difference is how long it takes them to deploy the feature to production: Team 1 needs two weeks in total, but it takes six weeks for team 2.

Which team produced a better result, financially, for their organization?

The timeline where one team is faster than the other
