PM Insights Sunnyvale Virtual Meeting - It’s All About Leadership!
PM Insight-Sunnyvale Virtual Meeting:
It’s All About Leadership!
We all know that the Agile profession has been having challenges. But the good news is that true agility is needed more than ever.
The dilemma that we need to solve is that many business executives do not feel that Agile is solving their problems today. We need to accept that, and not try to blame them – that they “don’t understand” or “aren’t doing it right”.
I am on the Agile Alliance’s committee to reimagine Agile, so I have been thinking about this a lot. I’d like to share with you how I think that we can all reimagine Agile together, to make it relevant again. By doing that, we can redefine ourselves and our value!
Takeaways:
- Agility is needed today more than ever: it is the most critical strategic differentiator
- Agility is not “Agile”. We need to focus on the former to redefine the latter
- Today, everyone must be a leader
- Leaders and managers are important
- We need a more expansive view – we can’t just focus on development teams. We need to consider the entire value stream, including financial, marketing, and business elements
- We need to base our ideas on established research in fields such as behavioral psychology, leadership theory, cognitive science, systems theory, and operations research – not individual practitioner opinions.
