Agile is spreading, and management will be the last to know
15-08-2017The 6 Powerful Questions of The Personal Agility System
22-09-2017I was recently asked, “what does management need to know about Scrum?” Here is my answer, in 10 bullet points:
- Market forces are driving shifts in how leadership leads
- Scrum is a simple, team-based, “Agile” framework for solving complex problems
- You can probably get twice the value in half the time through Scrum
- Changing for better performance seems obvious but requires a huge shift in your culture
- Only apply Scrum if you are prepared to make the necessary changes to get better performance
- Agile is a mindset not a toolset, nor a religion
- The transition to Agile is an investment
- Shared goals and the ability to agree on priorities are key success factors
- Start with a concrete project and follow quickly with your leadership team
- You can do all the stuff you did before, like budgeting and scheduling, just differently (and probably better).
Edit: updated to reflect that Agile is neither a toolset nor a religion.
