☛ Does your Agile implementation feel cumbersome, rigid, or not really agile? ☛ Do the processes, tools, and “best practices” deliver little of the business outcomes you need? ☛ Do you find the Agile ideas compelling, but hard to adopt in your reality? If you've answered “yes” to at least one question, you’re in good company: most Agile implementation leaders experience that, regardless of org size or industry. This is a difficult position to be in. You’ve acted on conventional wisdom and on educated advice, but they only got you so far. You’re held accountable for the results, but you’re supposed to let teams make all the decisions. You need to make things better, and there’s plenty of convincing theory out there, but what should you specifically do in *your* situation? I can help you lead your development teams to become engaged, productive, and trusted Agile delivery partners. I can also help your non-software colleagues create real business agility in their own teams. Together, we'll achieve that effectively and efficiently by using Right-Fit Agile, a journey-leadership approach I've honed by working with 100 clients to date. Unlike common approaches that try to ''install” Agile by “rolling out” standard tactics (practices, processes, tools, meetings), mine reliably helps leaders influence the mindset & culture changes that make those tactics viable and sustainable in their world.
