FAQ: What is the hardest part getting Agile?
In both cases I like to use plenty of exercises. For example: Adopting Agile project management means you need to change the way you plan at the moment. Continuing your PRINCE2 based project management while running an Agile project management process in tandem is self defeating. I made a passing comment in the last blog entry to “the hardest bit” of Agile . I keep feeling I should elaborate rather than leaving the comment hanging.

I recently gave some coaching to a big, well known, UK company get an Agile team started. Its interesting, this team have a few novelties all of their own, I’ll blog about that some other time.

What does an Agile coach do?
I tend to work from the process and management side, so I spend most of my time with team leaders, managers, business analysts and product managers. That could be project planning, talking to the business, talking to the development team, or about ongoing problems. Sometimes these are one-on-one conversations to address specific issues raised by managers, and sometimes they are conversations initiated I often describe myself as an Agile Coach. In fact coaching teams in Agile development is only part of what I do but its the only bit that fits in two words.

  • On project management
    I finished my last entry by taking a swipe at project management and even project managers. That was probably unfair but the fact is I am not a fan of project management It could be a career limiting move to speak against project management but I feel I should say something to explain my sideswipe, I should explain my thoughts. Of course I'm not naive enough heretical think projects “just happen" - there needs be some I am not alone in my views, but they are somewhat heretical. In their book “Lean Software Development” Mary and

  • An organization mapping exercise
    Last night I ran an organizational mapping exercise at the Extreme Tuesday Club . For example, the person playing the “Project Manager” understood this as an enabler role, more of a coach, while others where expecting him to manage a project. frustrated developer got fed up of project management and testing and decided to talk to the user directly.) What, you may ask is that? Well, I learnt the technique from observing Jim Coplien apply it.

  • Knowledge based product development
    I've commented here before that I have recently become a Product Manager - when I say recently it was almost six months ago now. Of course I want to be a good product manager so I've been looking around material to tell me how to be a good product manager, much to my surprise I find that there are very few books written on the subject of product management. Indeed depending on your industry the role of Product Manager differs. Today is my birthday, I always like where possible to take the day of work and do something enjoyable. This time I’m at home

  • Retrospectives need a learning culture
    I attended a project retrospectives training session last week. My guide has been Norm Kerth’s Project Retrospectives book and a whole bunch of ideas I’ve picked up over the years. Individuals could be criticised, companies could be found wanting or someone may say something they are not supposed to say. Retrospectives expose the lie that your boss/manager/leader knows best. Although I’ve run quite a few retrospectives over the years I’ve never been trained in them. This training session was organised and run by Rachel Davies and Diana
