- Get an Agile Coach
Scrum coaches are what make agile a team sport. Without them you’re going to have to use a soccer metaphor. Make sure they tell teams to deliver things faster, and agile.
- Clarify your products from projects
This distinction will help you keep the non-agile people separated from the Agile ones. This moves your work faster by helping people understand how different the work is. - Test a hypothesis
That’s a lot of work. We need to learn, let’s test whether we can learn at all.Then we might want to test whether we can build software, just don’t plan too far out ahead. - Hang Agile posters
Did you want people to forget this is agile? Show them pictures of inspirational agile things like the diagram above. Everyone wants to be a star. - Learn lingo
Further distinguish the kind of work you are doing by learning the codewords. Otherwise your backlog might fall behind some icebox iterations. - Do something
Thinking used to be really important, but it was hard. Don’t get caught in the old world trap. - Ship It
Are you really agile? Ship it before you start. You’ll never reach perfection, so why waste time getting to good. - Clap
Turn a regular meeting into an Agile meeting by standing and doing a single clap at the end. As a bonus you now know who else will be Agile with you if anyone claps along. - Stop managing people
Interpersonal conflict will go out the window when delivery expectations are removed.
