Agile  Teams  •  Self-­‐organizing  for  Project  Success  (h;p://blogs.seapine.com/2012/02/agile-­‐teams-­‐self-­‐organize-­‐for-­‐project-­‐success/)  

•  Self  Organizing  Systems:  those  that  are  able  to  change  their  internal  structure  and  their  funcHon  in  response  to  external  circumstances.  

Self  organizing  systems:    Natural  vs.  ArHficial  

•  Not  directed  or  controlled  by  any  one  else  inside  or  outside,  but  themselves  

Seeking  for  self-­‐organizing  systems  

•  EffecHvely  &  quickly  deal  with  complex  &  dynamic,  unforeseen  situaHons  

•  Robust:  no  dead  point  in  the  system  

Does  this  sound  agile?  

Uhmm  !!!  

•  Are  self-­‐organizing  teams  reliable/creditable?  

Desired  QualificaHons?  

Good  member  of  agile  team!  

Passion  

Commitment  

Responsibility  

Just  good  is  not  enough!  

•  Frankly,  how  much  passion  you  has  passion  in  your  job?  

•  How  to  build  passionate  agile  team?  

What  does  “it”  cover?    

SHll  lack  of  agility!  

Responsibility  is  more  realisHc,  and  just  good  enough!  

But,  just  good,  but  not  enough!  

Let’s  push  the  boundary  further!  

Taking  Ownership  

•  Owners  have:  – Self-­‐organizing  mindset,  – Responsibility,    – Commitment  &  Passion  – Pushing  the  boundary  further  

To  build  a  reliable  agile  team  is  

To  inspire  ownership  spirit  in  your  team  members  

Inspiring  ownership  spirit  

•  Shared  vision  •  Reward  employees  who  go  beyond  “the  norm”  •  Make  decision  and  debate  transparent  •  Collaborate  on  goals  decisions  •  Collaborate  on  decision-­‐making  •  Ask  for  feedback  •  Empower  your  staffs  •  Your  own  way
