—> train the entire organization in agile methods
how would I start?
—> start on the team level and sub-optimize
—> keep the number of initiatives/projects in your organization high
—> follow your favorite agile method(s). case studies showed that it worked
approach #1
for consulting companies…
- that want to maximize income
- that don’t care about results
* that’s a SAFe way to burn loads of money and have little result *
52. www.LEANability.com@klausleopold
in the beginning you only need one agile team:
how would I start?
—> start with strategic portfolio management
—> limit work in the entire organization
—> align all work to the strategy
approach #2
for economically minded companies
- that don’t want to waste money
- that want to achieve business agility
! kill (agile) methods and
frameworks !
TOP MANAGEMENT
—> understand your system and work your
way down the Flight Levels to teams
