Understanding
Resistance to Agile with a “Tribal Leadership”
Framework
Meeting
Learning:
In
order to implement, follow and further agile practices in and organization it is
important to consider the cultures present in the team and the organization at
large. This session will present why the
relationship between culture and practices is important and how cultures
evolve.
Session
Description:
Brett
Gibson will lead a discussion on why traditional company structures and cultures
can prevent high-performing teams. He’ll
premise the discussion with the observations in the book “Tribal
Leadership”. Software delivery is a
function and product of unique company cultures and practices. Furthermore company cultures take particular
patterns that may challenge the four values of the Agile Manifesto.
“Tribal
Leadership”
by Dave Logan et al, affords us 10 years of research with some new perspectives
on tackling the perennial issues of people and change. The concept of Stage-4
cultures aligns nicely with what the Agile community is trying to achieve in
Software.
