<aside> 💡 If you remember one thing…

• Whatever the method, the goal is to:
  • Put the employees at the heart
  • Root the work in data
  • Deliver business value
• By co-creating solutions with them, rooted in data, and that we build & test in short iterative cycles.
• People Experience is about how HR can apply an Agile mindset & methods within our own teams and projects.

Methods

Design thinking

A framework to identify problems and validate how we best solve them to deliver value to the end users — the employees.

Inspired by: https://www.maqe.com/insight/the-design-thinking-process-how-does-it-work/

Agile

About Product delivery principles that drive efficiency, effectiveness, and continuous improvement as we build & deliver work that adds value for the employees.

There are multiple Agile frameworks like Lean, Kanban, Scrum, Double Diamonds and more — pick and mix your favourite aspects to build the canvas you need.

When they come together

Frameworks

Lean — project flow

Inspired by: https://www.gg-998.top/products.aspx?cname=what+is+lean+methodology&cid=58

• Lean is the flow we follow to streamline work
• Lean development cycles ****increase speed and efficiency
• The minimum viable product (MVP) is the product baseline
• Everything else should be built upon the MVP — it’s called an iteration

Kanban — how we track progress

• Kanban is how we track tasks by 2 week chunks, to keep projects flexible and accommodate frequent changes
• The central element is the Kanban board used to organise the work, split into Backlog, In Progress, Blocked and Done
• It should be automated as much as possible

Scrum — our cadence as a team

Inspired by: https://www.pm-partners.com.au/the-agile-journey-a-scrum-overview/

• Scrum is our work rituals and cadence, used to increase the team’s efficiency
• The central element is strict cyclical sprints, where the team plans the work of the next sprint (2 weeks)
• Rituals include planning sessions, daily stand-ups, and team retrospectives at the end of the sprint to learn & improve by the next sprint
• Note — we don’t have scrum masters and this role is currently also with the project owner, but squads said it’d be helpful 💡
