Daily standup instrument
Count the blockers.
Then fix the system.
Squad Signals is buzzword bingo with teeth. Log every “blocked by” and “waiting for” as it happens, give squad leads and EMs evidence instead of anecdotes.
Use it in standup
Someone says "blocked by platform"? One tap on the board, optional note, ten seconds total.
Watch the streak build
Daily evidence makes a two-week dependency deadlock impossible to hand-wave away.
Act before the retro
Armed with clear evidence, squads can spot the pattern, fix the root cause, and move on.
The six families it watches
Dependency deadlocks
Squad boundaries may be drawn around technical layers rather than business domains. The squad cannot get work to customers without another team.
Flow debt
Work is started faster than it is finished. Look at how long items sit in progress rather than how many are started.
Agile theatre
The process is being performed rather than used. Look at whether standup changes the plan and whether any retro action has ever shipped.
Feature factory
Work is being described as output, not outcome. Check whether backlog items carry a business metric, whether the cheapest test was run before building, and whether anyone revisits impact after release.
Product model drift
The squad is being handed solutions to build rather than problems to solve. Look at who decided, when engineering was involved, and whether anything was tested with a user before it was committed to.
Water-scrum-fall
Siloed workflow wearing agile language. Look at deployment frequency and whether testing is an embedded daily practice or a phase before launch.
