Agile
Where do we start?
• Identify “sub cultures” aligned with Agile culture
• Look at Problems as point of improvements
• Try two patterns
• “Test the waters”
• “Do it”
Rules of thumb
• Don’t try to explain logically why Agile works
• Practices are a means to an end
• Ask for help
• Iterate and evolve
Control Culture
• “Self organizing team” is not appealing
• “Planning” could be a good starting point
Collaboration Culture
• It’s easier to deal with :)
• Agile Manifesto values are a good starting point
Next Step
It’s your turn
