After 5 large scale agile transformations and a dozen years as an embedded leader of enterprise agile in well-known Silicon Valley companies, I have heard my share of reasons why agile at scale won’t work or Scrum Masters are a bad idea.  In an entertaining manner, the most common resistances I have seen are identified along with tried-and-trued ways to mitigate them.

For large scale transformations, I present my personal, proven set of tools to gain alignment on what agile really is; to create a compelling large scale agile transformation vision; to develop a customized roadmap plan to achieve that vision; to execute that plan by organizing around people, process, and technology; to develop a simplified change leadership plan; and several other tools & tricks developed out of necessity.  Hopefully, you will have some fun along the way and pick up a tool or two that is industrial-strength tested right here in your own Silicon Valley.

 Takeaways:

A set of tools to aid you in transforming organizations to agile including ones :

• To gain alignment on what agile is via mindset framing & fun challenges,
• To create a transformation vision through techniques to move people to a better agile place that only they could imagine,
• To develop a customized plan that includes clear milestones, training, activities, & tooling, metrics, and both personal & business value,
• To rollout the plan by creating internal transformation teams organized around people, process, and technology,
• To accelerate the shift via established change models & change leadership techniques,
• To increase the chances of team agile adoption through a coach engagement model emphasizing management involvement.
