Perhaps all the #Backlog #Prioritization talk about "effort versus value" is nonsense?

Rather, we ask ourselves: what is the next thing we shall do and how can we do that in small, reversible steps?
#Backlog #Prioritization example:

1) The balance owing on your credit card is due tomorrow.

2) You don't defer that work because "it's a lot of effort". Rather, you think, "How can I make payment with the least amount of effort?"
#Backlog #Prioritization example:

1) The best feature to release next is ___. It will increase revenue / improve UX / etc.

2) You don't defer that work because "it's a lot of effort". Rather, you think, "How can we build ___ in increments and get feedback along the way?"

I was tempted to enter a Twitter thread where people are arguing about The Scrum Guide™ (again.)

I resisted the urge to jump in. (Yay me!) But then decided to post this. (I may regret it.)

🧵
A common criticism of #Scrum goes like this:

- If Scrum is so great,
- and if you've read the Scrum Guide
- and attended a class with a Pro Trainer
- then you should be able radically improve your team and deliver high quality product.

Right? But so many Scrum teams struggle!?
Well, it's no wonder that many teams struggle — even while practicing Scrum. (Or Kanban or any other practice.)

The reason is: delivering high quality product is really really really really really difficult.

Nobody, and I mean, literally nobody…
