Imposing Agile...

Gil Broza nails it with this article "Imposing Agile is a Non-Starter"

Author of "The Human Side of Agile" and "The Agile Mind-Set" as well as a visionary trainer (and one of my favorite Agilists), reminds us that we can only coach the willing, or as Jeff Sutherland (co-creator of Scrum) says,  "Agile innovation depends on having a cadre of eager participants" 



While you are at it, do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of one of Gil's books, or better yet, attend one of his upcoming training sessions!

Thanks Gil!!

Looking for experience-based training to help you grow as an Agile leader? The single remaining session of “Practical Agile Leadership” in 2019 is in Boston this November, and the price is going up on Sunday. Join me for two immersive days of pragmatic guidance. Here is what a past attendee had to say:

The content focused purely on the Agile Mindset and making Agile choices. So much of the training we are offered mixes behaviors and frameworks, when in fact the Mindset is the hardest to master. The course certainly lives up to its name, imparting a lot of practical knowledge on applying agile behaviors in the workplace.

How To Be An Effective Product Owner (The Getting Ready for Work Game) - By Dan Greenberg

  Purpose: Learn the art of prioritization Tools: If you are in a big room, each participant will need a pad of post-its and a wall on which to work. If you are virtual, have each participant use a designated “wall” on their section of the virtual board. You may have to be creative. Round One: Write down everything you did this morning between waking up and arriving at work, one activity per post-it. Also on each one write down the amount of time that activity took. EXAMPLE Add up the total amount of time – in this example, 110 minutes. So, in this example, let’s say your alarm went off this morning at 7:00 AM and you sat down at your desk ready to work at 8:50 AM. Round Two: You hit the snooze a couple of times this morning and didn’t get out of bed until 7:20 AM but you are still required to be sitting at your desk ready to work at 8:50 AM.
