Abstract/Description
Why do so many organizations struggle to put in place mature Agile teams that can apply proper Agile principles and deliver awesome products? Some people will say, “Agile is hard” as an excuse to not do Agile or to become frAgile. Well we think we have developed a method to reboot any Agile team that just doesn’t seem to be maturing and we want to share it with you!
If you are thinking of scaling Agile across a large organization, then this talk is a must to attend to help ensure your teams have the right foundation. Organizations wanting to scale Agile must have a solid foundation of mature Agile teams who embrace the Agile values and have the right Agile mindset.
Over the years, as we have done Agile transformations in different organizations, we have seen common patterns that keep repeating. The most common pattern we found in our experience is that teams are frAgile. Too many either pretend to be Agile or don’t even know Agile is not a methodology, so organizations question the value of using Agile. Very often the confusion and frustration that comes with thinking that a team is Agile when they are not Agile, brings people right back to their old habits of command and control. Creating successful mature Agile teams is not magic, you just need to discover the right recipe!
In this talk, we will reveal our secrets on how to reboot any struggling Agile/Scrum team in 5 sprints. Attendees will learn how we applied our special ingredients as we experimented with more than 30 teams over a number of years and we refined the know-how. This recipe has proven to be successful in different organizations and teams delivering different types of products. Our Creative-Destruction approach goes through a human change process we labeled The M&M Transformation Plan.
Once you have the foundation in place, then the 5 sprints to reboot the team are:
**Sprint 1**: Run in the rain
**Sprint 2**: Thunderstruck
**Sprint 3**: Start the M&M pain machine
**Sprint 4**: Open-up and look at the sun
**Sprint 5**: Removing the training wheels
And by using these 5 sprints, attendees will discover the **5th Agile value!**
We bring all of the ideas together in a functional canvas that any practitioner or manager can use.
