Agile management is an efficient management method that is widely used in a variety of fields. Zhang Xiaolong applied it to the development of QQ mailbox and the management of the WeChat team, and companies such as JD.com, Huawei, and ZTE are also actively learning and Xi and practicing. At the same time, companies such as Google, Facebook, and Twitter are also using agile management to develop new features. The reason why agile management is so powerful is that it has the following advantages: First, agile management focuses on teamwork and communication, encourages interaction and collaboration between members, and effectively improves work efficiency. Secondly, agile management adopts an iterative and incremental approach to project development, which can quickly respond to changes in requirements and make timely adjustments and optimizations. In addition, agile management emphasizes continuous learning and Xi improvement, and improves the team's ability and efficiency through continuous reflection and adjustment. In conclusion, agile management has become the preferred management method for many enterprises and teams due to its excellent flexibility and efficiency.
1 The larger the team, the more complex the communication channels will be. When a team consists of 5 people, there are 10 communication channels;When the team consisted of 7 people, the number of communication channels increased to 21;When the team consisted of 9 people, there were 36 communication channels. With so many communication channels beyond our cognitive capabilities, we can't understand the progress of each teammate's work, resulting in the team not being able to communicate effectively, which affects the progress of the work. Once the team size exceeds 8 people, the time required to complete the project increases significantly. For the same amount of work, a team of 3 to 7 people only needs about 25% of the time, while a team of 9 to 20 people needs more time. This phenomenon has been proven in many projects and seems to be a universal pattern. In an agile team, each member must understand how the other members are doing – what challenges they are facing, whether coordination and help are needed, what progress has been made, and what problems they are encountering. The team maintains a high frequency of communication, ensuring that the whole team shares a clear goal of the task to improve productivity.
2. Focus on doing one thing at a time to make sure you can actually accomplish what needs to be done. Studies have shown that multitasking at the same time can drastically reduce efficiency. Even just replying to an email is enough to distract the brain for half an hour, and it takes a while to get back to where it was before. Think about it, how many times have you been interrupted at work?How much time did it take to revert back to the previous state?In life, all kinds of distractions and trivial things keep our attention off track. The boss may ask for some tasks to be completed, and a colleague in the sales department may need help. The goal of agile is to do more in less time. And to do that, you need to be extremely focused. In agile, we need to be fully focused on delivering value in as little as a week or two, and only then can we achieve our goals. Agile methods are all about focus, doing one thing at a time. The whole team should be fully committed to one task before thinking about anything else. Don't do any useless work until the most important thing is done. 3 Don't confuse busyness with doneWhen assessing a company's level of agility, when a scrum company comes in, it is common to find that about 30% of the work has been done, but the work should not have been done in the first place. Everyone is busy, but they can't deliver real work. We need to always remember that no matter what the work is, it can only create value if it is completed, and it must be done completely. Busyness and completion cannot be confused. By done, I mean really done, not almost done, so-so, or someone who worked hard and wanted to be praised but didn't actually get the job done. Even if you come up with the wrong output, it's okay. If the output is wrong, you'll quickly realize it and avoid wasting a lot of time and effort and eventually finding out that someone else doesn't need your work. Always remember that only when it is completely done can it be counted as truly complete. 4 Projects that are empowered to the right decision-makers to make quick decisions in a short period of time have a 58% success rate. However, if the decision takes more than 5 hours, the success rate is almost zero. The longer a decision is delayed, the higher the cost. So, how quickly do you make decisions?Delays in decision-making are not an uncommon phenomenon, but a very common one. In those failed projects, people often hesitated. Sometimes, the decisions involved are not particularly complex or difficult, and are usually some commonplace everyday decisions, but people are not able to make decisions. If the way the business behaves is rigid and hierarchical, and decisions must be escalated and distributed through layers of escalation, then the decision-making process can become time-consuming. Keep in mind that delegating decision-making authority can save 70% of your time. Most people don't even take into account the factor of decision-making time, not understanding that every moment of time is precious and once lost, it cannot be recovered. Every wait increases the likelihood of failure or procrastination. The key lesson of Agile is to get the people closest to the job to make decisions and make quick decisions to act. 5 Don't wait, speed is crucial. By iterating quickly – trying, observing feedback, trying again – you can finally get quick feedback and find a solution. There is no such thing as a perfect plan because the system is dynamic and we cannot predict its outcome. The only thing you can do is try it out and get feedback from it. Whatever you do, action is better than no action. Don't hesitate to get moving. In a way, it's not what you do, it's about learning Xi and progressing. Achievements can only be achieved if they take action. Don't wait, be brave and act!The preparation materials are shared as follows:
