Agile Basketball Events – The Sprint Planning Session


The goals to be achieved during the Sprint is planned at the Sprint Planning Session. This plan is created by the collaborative work of the Key Agile Team Members (Analyst, Players, and Coaches). Sprint Planning Sessions are limited to a maximum of four hours for a five game Sprint. The Agile Basketball Consultant ensures that the Sprint Planning Session takes place and that everybody understands its purpose. The Agile Basketball Consultant teaches the team to keep the session within the four hour time frame. Sprint Planning Sessions answer the following: ⦁ What areas can we improve and which goals can we reach in the upcoming Sprint? ⦁ How will the players deliver the desired results?⦁ What will the team needs to do in order to achieve its Sprint Goals?

Agile Basketball - Estimating Player Value Toward Team Goals

Image
When an analyst sets the key objectives of a sprint, they prioritize the performance metrics (in the Sprint Performance Dashboard), assess the complexity of each metric based on the schedule and individual matchups within the Sprint, and assigns a value to them. Value for performance metrics vary from Sprint to Sprint and player to player based on the competition of the schedule and what the team needs him to do. This assesses the feasibility of each metric and forces players to challenge themselves in other areas when goals related to their strengths and skillsets are difficult to accomplish (for example, the chances of winning the matchup of scoring or rebounding against a guard like Russell Westbrook is low, therefore the guard in that matchup is forced to find other performance metrics they will win in that matchup, thus creating value). It’s very important that the entire team share a clearly defined and common understanding of the value point system. http://agilebasketball.org/mo...

Agile Basketball Pillars: Self Organization

Image
Self-organization is a fundamental concept in Agile Basketball. Self-organization does not mean that players instead of managers control the team strategy and execution. Nor does it mean letting players do whatever they want to do. It means that management commits to guiding the evolution towards synergy, which emerges from the interaction of players, committed to team goals and learning through inspection, adaptation, self-organization and empiricism. The analyst clarifies to player what the team objectives are for each five game Sprint, and players (along with the analyst and assistant coach guidance) determine how they will add value. But they are nonetheless self-organizing, with influence from those who can assist them in achieving the team goal (such as analyst creating ways of measuring value and the team lead adopting new offensive/defensive strategies). The player’s job is to self-organize around team challenges, boundaries, and constraints identified by the analyst or player ...

Agile Basketball Tools – The 5 Game Increment

Image
The Five Game Increment is the value of all the Sprint Performance Dashboard metrics successfully delivered during the current Sprint, and the sum value of the previous Sprints. The number of wins is the main goal for measuring success of the Sprint and value points reflects team growth, or its ability to achieve greater success in the key areas that impact goal attainment. See Estimating Player “Value” toward Team Goals and Tracking Velocity for more explanation on how to measure value. The concept is through incremental inspection and adaption, empiricism is increased and metric value becomes a key indicator for predicting team success. http://agilebasketball.org/agile-basketball-artifacts/
