While Agile practitioners value simplicity, most of their organizations struggle to maximize the amount of work not done as business environments and product ecosystems become increasingly complex and unpredictable. This is compounded by time-to-market pressure and tougher technical problems. Mandated bureaucratic policies to improve organizational efficiency and predictability often result in more work and less customer value. Many organizations have decided to adopt Agile to become more responsive to changing and uncertain conditions. However, these organizations need more than a set of recipes or ‘best practices’ to fundamentally transform their culture.

 

This course will tackle some of the most challenging impediments facing Agile advocates including…

  • How do we recreate the concept of agility, the initial spirit of Agile, and bring us back into much more rapid interaction?
  • How do we scale Agile and the problem with trying to scale by aggregative highly structured ordered approaches?
  • How do we get users more engaged throughout the whole process?
  • How do we measure and monitor culture change?
  • How do we influence and change systems we don’t own?
  • How do we embed the IT development in the actual work and not to be a standalone function?
  • What type of organisational design will support Agility?
  • How do we create strategic advantage by managing unarticulated as well as articulated needs
  • The Cynefin framework and pre-scrum techniques within Agile
  • New approaches to Design Thinking

The course will also cover the latest updates the the Cynefin model. The Cynefin Framework helps teams work effectively, improve decision making, and adapt management styles across different environments with various degrees of uncertainty and complexity.
