Let's continuously improve through:

  • Reoccurring talks, lunch-and-learns, workshops, etc.
  • Experimentation mindset
  • Feedback loops and continual opportunities
  • Communities of Practice for various roles for sharing knowledge and skills

Transparency

Gain better predictability, have a baseline for improvements, and be able to react in a timely manner to what is disruptive.

Let's improve transparency through:
  • Operational workflow and walkthrough
  • Shared vision and goals

  • Creation of Product Roadmaps
  • Stakeholder Analysis
  • Valuable reporting
  • Open spaces for Agility questions
  • Team visibility

Collaboration

​Provide the necessary structure and culture for everyone to work together, achieving faster results toward common outcomes. 
​

  • Standardized tool sets that aid collaboration
  • Scaling principles
  • Cross-functional teams
  • Dependency management
  • Team ownership and accountability

​Communication

Keep everyone in the loop to minimize risks, maximize productivity, and ensure alignment on expectations and standards. 

Let's improve communication through driving:
  • Team development building
  • Decentralized communication channels

  • Clear user and technical requirements
  • Facilitating and holding only valuable meetings
  • Specific and clear objectives
  • Shared online push and pull communications
  • Increased and autonomous communication with offshore distributed teams
Successful agility is about grasping agile behaviors.

Agility at an enterprise level only works
  • when leaders know how to interact with agile teams and shows the agile mindset through actions
  • when stakeholders know how to provide expectations and speak clearly for the customer
  • when business people understand the need to have availability to prioritize and provide direction
  • when existing PMOs understand a new way of reporting, feedback loops and alignment
  • when delivery teams know what is expected of them

​Throughout, standing up internal agility leaders and teams is key to making sure changes and effectiveness stick long after any consultant is gone.
