Attention, please!
… about importance, urgency and awareness

2.
importance and urgency
IMPORTANCE adds value
URGENCY avoids damage and harm
… concentrate on gaining rather than avoiding ;-)

3.
urgency
• There is no urgency known in Scrum framework
• There is only importance and due date
• Everything You do should be important
• Everything You do should add value
• Urgency indicates that someone missed importance
• Urgency drags You off the track
• Fix it, if it is really important - and get back on track soon
• then LEARN from it to stay always on track in future

How to avoid failure?
•Attentiveness!
• Is everybody aware of importance in
YOUR work environment?
• Is everybody attented to what YOU (pl.) do?
• Falsification: how often does urgency occure?

How does it feel?
What is the condition of Your work environment?
Desert mode: - dead and dry
Thunderstorm mode: - everybody hides away
Headless chicken mode: - aimless motion
Mechanical mode: - force with collateral damage
Beehive mode: - aligned energy all around
