Thought some of you might be intere= sted or want to comment. What is agile? The domain of Agile is in organizational structures, things like creating c= ross-functional teams that get things to production in very short cycles. M= anagement gets out of the way and also gets anything else out of the way th= at impedes the people doing the actual work. This is akin to the world and = mindset of lean manufacturing. New roles emerge and old roles and their car= eer paths go away. It=E2=80=99s highly disruptive to adopt.=20 The critical element is self-managing teams that are free to experiment in = a safe space with different ways of working together. Through enlightened t= rial and error their performance improves. Similarly, the other key idea is= that no one actually knows what the product will look like at inception, c= ertainly not in any detail. Customers and development teams collaborate to = discover what the product wants to be along the way. Moreover, the world ch= anges while you are doing that and so=E2=80=A6 business agility is the abil= ity to turn on a dime for a dime (Larman).=20 Agile is quite simply a set of principles and values that guide you in cond= ucting small experiments on two levels, discovering what the product is tha= t the customer wants and discovering better ways of working together. ------=_NextPart_001_004E_01D3E117.E200B170 Content-Type: text/html;
