"When I came across FAST I was like - this is the thing I've been looking for forever. This is the thing!

We did FAST - the team hated it at first. But a few months in they didn't want ever want to work any other way. They loved it! The bus numbers were gone, the dependencies were gone, the cross-learning was there. Adapting to any problem that ever came was there. It was amazing seeing that happen." - Ariel Pérez

"The optimal structure of the product organization is a moving target. The organization's needs should and will change over time" - just as org design and team makeup should change. #FASTAgile #BetterWaysOfWorking #ModernProductManagement

Dynamic teaming and the fluid structure that #FASTAgile enables, solves for these problems of - unnecessary dependencies and complications that work against team empowerment.

Static team structures will eventually hold you back.

#FASTAgile addresses autonomy, ownership, alignment and team topology.

Don't be surprised to find in the years coming to see #FAST used in more and more #ProductLed organizations as their preferred #agile method.

Stakeholders and customers shouldnt be the source of what to build. They provide data, insight and constraints but not the features.

XP, and #Scrum took us down the wrong path. Not maliciously, it was the best thing we could do at the time with what we knew. But now we need to change to different and better ways of working and thinking about work.

Give teams problems to solve, not features. This will keep engagement high and result in better outcomes.

#Innovation absolutely depends on empowered engineers.

I will be facilitating a #FAST workshop at the upcoming #AgileAndBeyond conference in Detroit next month. My workshop highly relates to "The Build Trap," which Melissa Perri will cover in the opening keynote immediately prior! Then, following my workshop is a session from a group sharing their experiences of a FAST experiment that they have been a part of. Wow! #AdaptFAST #AdaptiveOM #ModernProductManagement #Adaptivity @fastagile
