The Agile Community focuses too much on 'being Agile' and hitting people over the head with the Agile Mindset stick. Once teams operate under the radar and then hit the organizational boundaries, new language is needed to help provide leaders with better options for deliberately creating structures that align with an Agile way of working.

stick
down…start
coaching.
structure
policies
people
Who has the authority to change structure?
Why would they want to do it?
LISTEN to THEIR needs.
Which structures conflict with each other?
Are these policies a problem, or is it your perception?
Who is affected by policy changes?
Who are the “right” people to get on the bus?
How should hiring practices change?
What skill development is needed?
