Agile Transformation White Paper

from Leading Agile By MIKE COTTMEYER

“Today one of the biggest challenges we have in the industry is the blind application of process without regard to the organisational context in which it was designed to work”

I recently read this White Paper by Mike Cottmeyer. Its broken down into 3 main areas: The what, the why and the how.

When an organisation says ‘we are Agile’ or ‘we’d like to go Agile’, there’s a lot more to consider within your teams and organisation before making this kind of statement.

“Doing Agile is different from installing it. And that is different from leading change. And that! May be different from the dynamics of that enterprise than the one you had experience in.”

“Transformation leads need to be honest and transparent. Making sure people understand the truth and have all the info to build trust, for trust is the currency of change.”

All credit goes to Mike Cottmeyer from LeadingAgile for sharing these insights. Here’s a link to the full white paper. A good place to start if you considering Agile within your Organisation.
