Before a companies leadership commits to an Agile 'transition' they should clearly outline their objectives and confirm with the leading coalition their expectations, good communications and ongoing participatory support are essential. A good transition can not be handed over the wall for others to complete. There are team level bottom up initiatives which can only carry so far without making organizational changes to creat a supportive and sustainable ecosystem for them to survive . For example, taking a close look at the value chain (concept to cash) for various product family lines and building supporting application systems to support them, as opposed to technology or component teams to do the application development often runs into friction across established organizational fiefdoms that would be needed to reduce dependencies across development teams. These frictions are become exponential once you start to scale operations. Lack of support for automation in QA and using DevSecOps also hinder the flow of development. So I am not sure of your specific case, but these are conditions are example behaviours that I have observed where I see the most frustration.
Yes! This!
I wouldn't be blaming people as a coach. Often, processes are a key hindrance to success in many organizations. Also coaches should be meeting people where they are observing and understanding prior to a bunch of changes. How do you know you are making the right observation without putting in the time. I could go on for a while on this topic. So many cookie cutter you are wrong approaches
I find the biggest reason Agile Coaches struggle, or the implementation process fails is because there isn’t true buy in by leadership yet they want the results. It takes time and patience to adjust the culture and make the changes. However, with time the customer will start to see positive results and then give the buy in to make more direct changes. This is when the coach will start to see the customer go from ‘doing Agile’ to ‘being Agile’.
Yes. This is basically what we do: the work. Coaching alone does nothing.
I know been though the application process at Deloitte and EY. Felt very wrong. Licking someone else’s butt to be allowed to work endless hours and bring them my business contacts? Nope, not going to happen. Had 2 bad experiences. Might be a small sample but I’d rather give myself a chance then another big 4.
