    Drummondville around 430PM-500PM. I'm posting travel-plan details in

              <br>
              For typical organizations looking to improve, Agile is a
              very large process & culture change. Agile is
              typically implemented as a mandate, complete with
              prescribed practices. This very standard approach of
              introducing and then mandating Agile practices is over 13
              years old and is not getting fantastic results. If it was,
              we would be able to point thousands of stories about
              lasting success with Agile.<br>
              <br>
              Open Agile Adoption is a new approach for Agile adoption.
              It's focused on people, then practices.  It replaces the
              mandate with an invitation. It incorporates Open Space,
              leadership storytelling, passage rites and more, in
              service to better Agile adoptions. You can learn more at <a

                <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Questions that have come in
                    from Call#1 are listed below. <br>
                    There are many interesting questions. <br>

                    Senders of questions are not listed in the data. <br>

                    The questions form the rough agenda; there will be a
                    brief review at the start. <br>
                    You can use Call#2 as your entry point; there is no
                    requirement to have been on Call #1 to participate
                    in Call#2.<br>
                    If you are new to the topic, consider examining the
                    links Agile-related links (above) to get oriented
                    before the call.  </span></p>
                <p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
                <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Q. About Open Agile Adoption:</span></p>
                <p class="MsoNormal"><span>If the facilitator for the
                    1st OS is external to the organization (neutral as
                    oppose to an on-going 'coach'), why can that person
                    not also facilitate the 2nd OS? ...granted that it
                    is also a good idea to pass on the learning of
                    opening space to someone internal if they can play
                    comfortably that neutral role among their peers.</span></p>

                    different trainings for different roles.  it would
                    be helpful to get a sort of program, cuz i can't
                    tell the players without a program.  there are a
                    bunch of folks sitting at computers, writing code,
                    cobbling code, etc.  there's some project owner.
                     there are users.  and some others in between.
                     would help to know something about sizes of groups,
                    training required for different roles, languages
                    used, and these sorts of details.</span></p>

                <p class="MsoNormal"><span>   </span><span>I   Q.  I
                    struggle with the notion that “agile has become <b>mainstream</b>,
                    while at the same time has a “85% failure” rate  -
                    on the face of it this seems like folly - why would

                    case of OAA where there has already been an attempt
                    to adopt agile (rescuing an adoptation), training in
                    agile (scrum etc) will already have taken place, but
                    in the case where a unit goes straight into agile
                    via OAA (straight adaptation), when does the

                    in agile adoptions than to succeed, this seems to

                    I would have doubts as to whether OST facilitators

                    partly be due to mandating, but more often to either
                    treating lean purely as a technical tool (rather
                    than a whole system) without the equivalent Japanese
