Discussion 2.13 by Tim Johnson

Very open

katejturner85 — 2020-12-02 17:27:17 UTC

Management are open to many ways of working. Essentially, as long as you get the work done they are happy. This is great though you can feel unsupported when a work process becomes flawed somehow and you are unsure of what to do.

Helps

katejturner85 — 2020-12-02 17:29:08 UTC

If management are flexible and adaptable so tend to be their employees meaning Agile fits in well with this

Lack of professionalism or following standard protocols

katejturner85 — 2020-12-02 17:30:36 UTC

Sometimes devs will solve problems in dirty ways (quick fixes) or make unsigned off changes to things which complicate future work. Sometimes the flexibility of process can result in no process at all and some team members take builds into there own hands, especially if they are contractors

Be flexible but have protocol

katejturner85 — 2020-12-02 17:33:07 UTC

Agree together on HOW things need to be done within the Agile process. Encourage team collaboration rather than individual working, share one task between 2 devs for example so that they both agree on the most efficient way of doing things that is within the company protocol/structure

Big Organizations are normally very oriented to have methodologies because that is a guarantee of lean process agility and ultimately; economy, having a culture of order and processes is financially beneficial

emersonxgarcia — 2020-12-27 23:55:41 UTC

Yeah, at the end of the day companies want to increase their value, have a better reputation, be great places to work at and be agile to compete in a very demanding market

emersonxgarcia — 2020-12-27 23:57:19 UTC

Yes, bringing up to speed new comers, new recruits and train them on the culture of the company takes time and resources, it is a challenge having a multinational organization, multicultural workforce and around the clock presence.

emersonxgarcia — 2020-12-27 23:59:44 UTC

Coach others, be obsessive with the culture but flexible with the tweaks needed to be accepted by others, communicate, listen and empathy

emersonxgarcia — 2020-12-28 00:02:03 UTC

Hierarchical

2021-01-18 12:44:14 UTC

Very much of the traditional top from bottom, know your role organization.

Hinder

2021-01-18 12:44:57 UTC

The culture isn't open to it.

Yes

2021-01-18 12:45:29 UTC

Communication is extremely difficult and when there is communication, nothing really gets resolved in a constructive manner.

Adapt

2021-01-18 12:53:44 UTC

One can only adapt to the best of their abilities.

Trying to Change

saleach — 2021-02-15 16:08:22 UTC

My organisation has areas of change that are agile these are predominantly in our digital space. The rest of our change area is still working in a waterfall way. Having said that it is 'Wagile' where we are doing things iteratively. Culture still needs to change for the whole organisation as I do not see the Agile roles being as effective as they could be.

Hinder

saleach — 2021-02-15 16:12:44 UTC

We have not fully defined our agile approach and therefore people are mixed between the two which can hinder projects from either methodolgy.

Yes

saleach — 2021-02-15 16:13:40 UTC

Communication - Agile teams are closed to waterfall and see them as slow change. Waterfall see agile as change with no governance and has to back out changes regularly.

Adapt and communicate

saleach — 2021-02-15 16:14:38 UTC

Change is always hard, but things need to move forward. Communication as always will be the key.

large and old

2021-08-24 13:58:31 UTC

hard to be Agile often if it is attempted it is a blend of DIMAC and Agile

Our culture is largely aligned to our values and we promote these values widely across our organisation

2021-11-29 07:09:51 UTC

I think our culture looks at Agile as something extra to do rather than look at how it can be embedded into what we already do

2021-11-29 07:11:10 UTC

People are so busy that they don't look to see how tools within agile can support them, so they carry on regardless

2021-11-29 07:12:19 UTC

Through a programme of awareness and training I feel agile can be more widely promoted through successful case studies

2021-11-29 07:13:42 UTC

A culture is a way of life of a group of people: the behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols that they accept, generally without thinking about them, and that are passed along by communication and imitation from one generation to the next.

2022-01-21 08:50:18 UTC

We can't talk about culture if there is not communication, Agile promote communication so agile culture helps to achieve the goals.

2022-01-21 08:53:32 UTC

When there is some difficulties to communicate with other member of the team.

2022-01-21 10:07:54 UTC

Working well in this culture is to follow and apply the rules.

2022-01-21 10:11:41 UTC

is a big organisation without agile phiolopy

2022-02-23 17:08:37 UTC

is necessary training and learning about Agile to adapt our culture

2022-02-23 17:09:36 UTC

general changing

2022-02-23 17:10:40 UTC

flexibility and training

2022-02-23 17:11:18 UTC

Large organisation, with a desire for rapid change of pace, but too many process or hierarchal blockers resulting in glacial adoption of new processes

2022-09-01 08:55:18 UTC

Training, Visibility, Transparency, Collaboration - support people in the transition to working agile to build trust

2023-01-24 11:10:48 UTC

lisaschoenenberg — 2024-06-06 14:44:34 UTC

Formal, hierarchical, traditional

lisaschoenenberg — 2024-06-06 14:45:09 UTC

It hinders agility because it makes change and quick decision-making more difficult.

lisaschoenenberg — 2024-06-06 14:45:57 UTC

Slow decision-making, resistance to change, difficulties in cooperation between different departments

lisaschoenenberg — 2024-06-06 14:47:17 UTC

Clear communication, demonstrating the advantages of agile methods, adapting agility to existing processes.
