🤔 Have you ever thought of using the auto-selection way to accomplish agile transformation in your organization? I had the chance of participating in a transformative workshop themed "What if people chose their team... Self-selection in the service of people and the organization" facilitated by Stephane Bourque and Mathieu Lemaire Lafond. Here's my feedback: ✨ In that workshop, I became more than just a collection of skills. I witnessed that the power of choice and ownership can truly elevate teamwork. I recognized that the people within my organization are not just colleagues; they are collaborators, contributors, and co-creators of success. As a Scrum Master, in the world of Agile transformation, I've experienced how this approach fosters a sense of responsibility and commitment. It's not about placing individuals into teams; it's about giving them the autonomy to shape their own journey. This is the meaning of empowering teams is the key to true agility. ✨ Thank you to Stephane Bourque and Mathieu Lemaire Lafond for letting me test it before implementing it in the near future. #Beneva #AgileTransformation #TeamEmpowerment #ScaledAgile

Once, I chased the dream of perfect Agile transformations. 🌟 Every step was meticulously planned, every strategy polished to shine. But the last two years have rewritten my playbook. ✨ Perfection no longer tops my agenda. Today, as an Agile Coach, I champion the beauty of agility, the power of learning curves, and the invaluable lessons hidden in missteps. 🔄 It's a journey of innovation, embracing our vulnerabilities, and celebrating the fact that imperfection is, in fact, perfectly fine. Our stumbles? They're not setbacks; they're clear signs of learning, adapting, and bravely pivoting. So, to my fellow Agile enthusiasts, let's set aside our quest for faultlessness.

⚠ Warning : Keep it out of the reach of fixed mindset people ! Don't entrust Agile practices to people who do not yet understand Agility. It may be harmful ! ⚔ Why? Because Agility is more than just practices or methods. It’s about a culture, a mindset, and shared values. Agile practices, when misunderstood or misused, can cause more harm than good. They can be misappropriated to justify rigid practices, instead of fostering adaptability and collaboration. Without understanding the principles and values of Agility, the practices are merely empty mechanisms, incapable of realizing their full potential and unfortunately, it may do more harm than good ! #agile #mindset #principles #values #practices #adoption #transformation Agile213

Agility = Flexibility?🤔   I was asked last week during a training session for one of my customers about the difference between agility and flexibility. 🚀   No, agility is not a synonym for flexibility. ❌   I know where the confusion comes from: 🔻 The word agile has been used in common language as a synonym for agility. 🔻 Agile means dynamic, iterative and adaptive - so it appears to be like flexible. 🔻 Indeed, agile frameworks have some flexible parts in them, BUT…   Actually, agile frameworks are the opposite of pure flexibility and chaos. ⚠️ 🔺 They give you a framework and the idea is to follow it. 🔺 They include a lot of time-boxed activities. 🔺 They also include a strong structure of roles. 🔺 They provide you with methods and good questions you should answer step by step   So next time someone says "We are working agile," ask them, what do you mean by agile? 🤔 😎   How do you or others use the word agile ? 💬   #Agile #Agility #Flexibility #ProjectManagement #WorkCulture #AgileFrameworks #Leadership #Workplace #Productivity

#PROJECTMANAGEMENT Snippets #18 #agilemindset The agile mindset is a thought #process that involves understanding, #collaborating, learning, and staying #flexible to achieve high-performing results. This way of thinking helps teams adapt to #change, rather than struggle around it. Instead of simply diving into agile practices and going through the motions, all team members need to understand and truly adopt the methodology in all aspects of their work. When the ‘why’ of agile is clearly understood, the ‘how’ is nurtured naturally under the needs of the team. Studies show that 60-80% of #projectfailures can be directly attributed to poor requirements gathering, analysis, and change management. The agile mindset is the perfect approach to these turbulent and challenging environments as it teaches how to #embrace change, rather than continuously avoid it.
