| Consider agile as an attitude, not a formula. In that frame of mind, look at your current project and ask, "How can we, in this situation, work in an agile way?" Look for how far you are from the sweet spots in your development team. See how creative you can be in getting closer to or simulating them. Look for where your team can lighten its methodology. Look for where it is not yet sufficient. Perform one project interview, as described. Get several people to perform one project interview each, and share the results. Find the common thread in your interview results. Hold a one-hour reflection workshop within your project. As you encounter difficulty in this, reflect on which aspects of people are showing up; compare them to the list in Chapter 3. Look for antidotes, and extend the list. Post the reflection workshop flipchart, and notice how many people ever look at it. See what it takes to hold a second reflection workshop. Learn how to get people to complain less and make more positive suggestions at these workshops.
Develop yourself into a Level 2 methodology designer. Yes, it is part of your profession. |
