When you are involved in an agile transformation for a client, do you prioritize advancing the agile maturity or driving the project to successful completion? Sometimes it feels like these things are mutually exclusive, or I need to wear multiple hats and go beyond “agile coach”.

I wouldn’t say the two are mutually exclusive - if they are, it might be time to revisit your roadmap to maturity.

The reality is - its a fine line. In order to be successful, you have to balance maturity with delivery - prioritizing whatever is most important to your immediate stakeholders/sponsors.

My motto is - always be a good consultant. Meet the client (or account team) where they are - live to fight another day, and understand exactly where you’re willing to compromise and what you’re willing to ‘die on a cross’ for.
