Nothing Is
More Important.
Than investing in the health and success of your people.
If your teams aren’t happy and operating at peak efficiency, what else really matters? You go further, faster when everyone is aligned, empowered and enabled.
Let's Address the
Elephants in the Room.
Because they’re loud and obnoxious.
Agile is now pervasive within software and product teams, infrastructure teams have been slower to adopt this game-changing delivery methodology due to a couple of nagging myths.
Myth #1: Agile
doesn’t work in Infrastructure.
WRONG!
Sequential work flows naturally through many Agile frameworks. Kanban was created specifically with sequential work in mind!
Myth #2: Infrastructure
work is sequential in nature so only Waterfall can support it.
WRONG!
How do you know? You’ve never tried! Just because Agile was born from Software Development doesn’t mean it can’t work for all types of work. Don’t knock it till you try it!
If Agile doesn’t work in Infrastructure, then Infrastructure must never change.
Myth #3: Infrastructure
has too many moving pieces for Agile to work.
WRONG!
The more complex, the more critical Agile becomes. Transparency and visibility into the complexity is a freebie with Agile frameworks!
Myth #4: Infrastructure
is project-based. It requires Project Managers.
WRONG!
Infrastructure is the backbone of every organization’s systems. Infrastructure is in support of every product and solution within the company. Why treat it differently? Why put it on an island? Don’t segregate… COLLABORATE! Don’t.
And Now the Good Stuff.
Agile Infrastructure teams are happier, more productive and positive.
Everyone All-In.
If your team members or leaders are not fully committed to the Agile mindset and practices, your Transformation is likely to struggle. To turn it around, focus on building buy-in through education, communication, and leading by example.
Customer-Centricity Drives Everything.
If your Agile teams are not focused on delivering value to the customer, your Transformation is likely to fail. To turn it around, focus on putting the customer at the center of your Agile processes and practices.
Row in One Direction. And Only One.
If your Agile teams are not aligned with your organization's goals and objectives, your Transformation is unlikely to succeed. To turn it around, focus on creating a shared vision and purpose that connects your Agile teams with the broader goals of your organization.
Measure What Matters.
If your Agile teams are not transparent about their work and progress, it's hard to know if you're making progress or not. To turn it around, focus on improving transparency through regular status updates, demos, and retrospectives.
Better Everyday.
If your Agile teams are not constantly improving their processes and practices, your Transformation is likely to stagnate. To turn it around, focus on creating a culture of continuous improvement by encouraging experimentation, innovation, and learning.
