Teams

interesting that Team Morale isn’t an important

Overall, organizations tend to feel they are seeing
benefits that they thought they would.

“We don’t need to
embrace uncertainty,

Please wait while the system copies the DNA of all Spotify employees, and
invents a way to replicate how people think and interact from a company
that is completely different from the utterly fucked company that is yours.
Renaming Communities of Practices to Guilds…
Purchasing enterprise JIRA because stickies don’t work here…
Implementing punishment scheme for squads that underperform…
Installing mandatory innovation time at 1pm every tuesday…
Renaming functional departments to Chapters…

Being Agile. Installation will now revert.

Unable to un-install Agile. Teams have gone
rogue. Run for your life.
