Supporting Agile working through systems thinking
In this section, you will learn how to apply systems thinking to work through the entities and relationships involved in analyzing the Sprint Planning event within Scrum. Sounds like a relatively small and simple task, right? Let's find out.
Diagramming causal linkages in Sprint Planning
We do not need to continue adding to our original Scrum Team system models when we are trying to focus in on one particular area within the system. Moreover, the causal diagramming loop modeling approach is better suited to modeling larger and more complex systems. In this section, we will introduce the causal loop diagram, modeling the elements and linkages within Sprint Planning. Look at Figure 4.5:

In this model, I have identified the elements related to Sprint Planning, as depicted in the previous figure.
