    Office Hours and Conformity? – No. Delivery is King!

    Forum Description

    During one of my CSM classes, I was discussing with a student that her company still has office hours and they are "required" to be online at 9AM... In our new world, why is this still a thing? (Unless you actually have a meeting at 9AM… which changes the context)...

    I find it fascinating that in many corporate contexts that: conformity equates to productiveness (in terms of perception).

    This is not true.

    In Agile, our most powerful evidence of effort is delivery.

    Don’t miss this point. Almost nothing else matters.

    • Progress
    • Status
    • Sign Offs
    • Productivity metrics
    • Performance metrics
    • Trends
    • Graphs
    • Pie charts
    • Reports

    I could go on and on… but none of that matters.

    Ask yourself a powerful question.

    Would you rather tell your leadership/CEO/executive/manager that:

    “We are working hard.”

    OR

    “We have delivered something, would you like to review it?”

    Delivery is everything. Progress means nothing. Deliver fast. Validate your assumptions fast.
