YDS: How Do You Start Scrum with a Waterfall Team?

Starting Scrum with a waterfall team requires a strategic, incremental approach. Begin by introducing one practice that addresses a team's specific struggle, and gradually incorporate additional practices. A great starting point is implementing item aging to track how long tasks take in each state, allowing the team to identify improvement areas. Defining the workflow is crucial for accurate item aging and provides a foundation for enhancements. Utilize evidence-based management to set goals and use data to assess progress and highlight issues, especially in complex projects. Gradually integrate practices from Scrum, Kanban, or both, iterating based on the team's needs and feedback. This methodical approach ensures a smoother transition and continuous improvement.

Currently in this journey! Started indeed with small practices with increments, kept on adding more until the curve got too high. While item aging felt a lot like watching the people and their work it gave an okay insight, at least in my experience. After the curve got quite high, introduced myself to scrum and agile properly and indeed going with evidence based management! This time the plan will be with bigger impact on the process now that the trust is gained.

Hello. Can you draw the line between Agile and Lean. Is lean a part of Agile which falls under Agile umbrella frameworks or it’s different mindset approach to how the project should be developed.
