Agile - Lean living...

Key values in Agile development are

• Trust
• Truth
• Transparency
• Fearless

Great values that open up for fun, motivating and worthwile great deliveries if living.

Is it possible to map them to private life as well?

According to me yes, and let me give some thoughts regarding it.

Trust: first, start trusting yourself, more easier to trust anyone else. Put trust in your nearest and you will be surprised what possible can be achieved. People grow and get happier to have the feeling of being trusted.

Truth: tell the truth, maybe not radical honesty,, that is maybe to much, but very close to that. Open up for Truth in the living. First, to yourself, secondly to the people around you. Truth always comes around when it goes around ... and remember, its not danger, its just the open truth.

Transperancy: Make things open, show what happens and share your achievements, your work, your thoughts an everything. Not to forget your mood, your result, deliveries or whatever that could be. Put up your personal list visible, fill it in and encourage the most lovely days fulfilling tings on the list. Great thing to remember your love and actions at that time of every day.

Fearless: Its ok to fail. It truly is. we are people and yes... we can do things not perfect all the time. If you open up to a fearless mindset you will get even closer to the people around you. Its ok to tell things not so popular and fantastic, but they are stil things to take place.

Add some Lean thoughts:

• focus on the bottlenecks, and increase delivery capacity - good and possible

• load to capacity , if you try to understand, by working and testing, how much you really truly can deliver in your team and life, you will in the end be aware of your capacity to deliver. It takes som time to understand that but later on you limit the mostly high expectations on delivery capacity that does not exists, just on papers...the amount of good employess with highly skills all of them, does not necessarily mean that they can co operate perfect. Make sure to be honest about this. ITs not what we want it to be , it is what we really deliver that can be measured.

Well at least, no matter Agile Lean or anything else, just remember to live your life honest to yourself and choose happines. Nobody else does.

Values - shape performance...

Values, important to all of us no matter we live them or want to admit that they exist both in privatelife but also businesswise.

Consider your own personal values for some minutes, what is important to you? And what is really important to you ? What are your values in life? How does it affect your attitudes and behaviours in real life? How do your values impact on you?

It does not take a minute to think about this, that is for shure. I lived a long time of my life with values I had on my list, but it was strange to realize that I did not live them very well.

My needs and wantings were something completely else. But hello.. whos values were on my wall then? Some hard to admit when you are at my age but truly... they were not my own and mostly I can refer them to my father very much.

He was the one, printing them to me, invisible but very alive, and clear and yes... I agree, they sounded very good and great and wanted to be perfect so... I tried my best. And realized I failed ... or.. succeeded. Succeeded to finally wake up and consider that I was living someone elses values.

When I have worked with teams and organisations, I have had a succesfull time creating values, attitudes and behaviours within the teams. Creating common values, rules and wanted behaviours and attitudes... and also.. implement them, so to say... start living the values as well.. and measure, and follow up, and give feedback, to strength and to get the value out of it.

Values shape performance, I truly believe in that, and I have seen it in real life. And it goes for myself as well.

Back to the my own values, It has taken me some years to admit, that my values are not the one I am trying to live, they are different and others. So... I have to rewrite them, and remind me about my values. And how I want to live them.. and mostly what attitude and behaviours I will add to strenghten them. Its never to late to be honest to yourself, and your values, and be a bit selfish or ego, as you are the most important person in your life.

I love to see the value on the top of my list: I promis to love myself that much that I will put my needs and wantings first and create the good from that.

From " 7 habits of highly effective people ",..... Put first things first... true in many dimensions.

I look forward to the day I will team up again and create that team common values. At least I have a draft of a list ready just to be executed and lived.

Good night,
Anna

To many fishes in the pool...and more ..

So... again.. this morning It popped to my memory and positive minds some certain expressions I learned the last few years ... they are very useful.. lets give you a lesson in my golden phrases ...

And remember.... I write them with a big lovely beautiful Anna smile... I love them... and I love to be ironic and cynical, but mostly.... I am in a very good mood. From me with love..and remember ... I do choose love and life very much.... Enjoy these...

-to many fishes in the pool... I thought... it was someone who was very busy with a lot of things to deal with, in life, at the moment, on the arena ... and who was considered to sort things out and clean for better space and energy and mostly clear water. It could also be to many women ( men :-) )in your courtyard and pool at the same time and its more easy to pick up fishes and clean then to drag a few women (men) from pool and poolside and get them going.... we love the luxury life dont we...and we hold on as until the pool is totally empty and its frozen...

-keep your thoughts..... well... just as simple as that , please dont tell me what you think.. because I dont like it... and maybe .. keep your minds because they dont fit me and I dont want to hear... well.. sometimes you dont want to hear ... so that phrase is very useful...

- stay confident..... could mean , trust me, never doubt, dont think to much .. just rely on me... but but... when the comment appears when your intuition is stonger then iron and the actions are more then zero .. .then.. you wonder if it is evil words in the time for waiting.


- how hard can it be?...... funny to me but also very simple and easy as that. Why the heck do we complicate things so much..... In all cases about to dare being honest....true?

thanks for the giving and getting....

Love Anna

Future sharing..

Japp.. that are the words for today.

Add on love, live, learn and leave a legacy and we are being kind of serious here. Or not..

How serious do we have to be? And how hard can it be?

Do we have to know everything, what is waiting around the corner, what is coming and what to be afraid of?

The answer is in your mind.

My minds are spinning, and at the moment I am not serious about anything, or am I? The balance of taking yourself to seriously and at the same time enjoy life can be hard.

I refer to Benjamin Zander, the lovely conductor, who reminds us about Rule no 6.

well hello... what is Rule no 6? Dont take yourself so damn seriously.

and what about the other rules... ?

There are no other rules... To the ones that have not read Benjamin Zanders book.. The Art of Possiblity, I just say.. dare to read it.

Half full glasses or half empty glasses? Guess what I have?

/ Energy, love and sharing on the way.
