<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

The agenda for the call on 10/28 is to answer
the questions listed below.<br>

</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>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Q. the question I
have is about roles.<span> </span>reading
the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://scrum.org" target="_blank">scrum.org</a>
site, i see 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></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 any company want to adopt agile
with such a poor track record?<br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
<span></span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>·</span><span>
</span><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1f497d">Q.
In the 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 training take place? Before the
first Open Space, or between the two OS
event (as part of liminality)?<br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
<span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1f497d"></span><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Times"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>·</span><span>
</span><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1f497d">Q.
I was a little perplexed by the comment
you made on OSList about there being more
ways to fail with Open Space in agile
adoptions than to succeed, this seems to
put OST on a danger list. Put
differently, it seemed to suggest that
there is just one right way to run OST to
be successful while there are many wrong
ways – what is not clear to me is what is
that right way?<br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
<span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1f497d"></span><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Times"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>·</span><span>
</span><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1f497d">Q.
In our last teleconference you talked of
“proceedings”, but it was not clear to me
what you meant by that (OS proceedings,
agile proceedings, other)?<br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
<span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1f497d"></span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>·</span><span>
</span><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1f497d">Q.
At the last teleconference we also
established that the follow up after the
first OST event is critical for success –
but how will the follow through be run,
and more importantly who will be
responsible for this follow up? (If it is
the OST facilitator then I would have
doubts as to whether OST facilitators who
are not also agile experts are really
suitable for OAA.)<br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
<span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1f497d"></span><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Times"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>·</span><span>
</span><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1f497d">Q.
If agile adoptions fail because they are
mandated by senior management, and if we
manage to turn this around with your
suggested OAA approach using OST, this
will surely also involve a certain degree
of transformation within senior management
ranks (indeed it may lead to a new kind of
resistance at the top). This in turn
could lead to a negative perception of OST
itself. Would you like to comment?<br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
<span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1f497d"></span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><span>o</span><span>
</span><span>I say this because I see a
parallel problem in lean adoptions which
also often don’t bring about expected
results. In lean this may 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 attention to
empowering the humans behind the system,
or to very poor support and commitment to
lean from senior management. This leads
to lean being run more like an add-on
application rather than a whole new
operating system.<br>

<br>
This is an invitation
to signal interest in
learning more about
how Open Space can
help Agile adoptions,
and <br>
<ul>
<li>learn about the
structure of the
Agile industry,
and</li>
<li>learn about the
dynamics of the
current Agile
adoption
situation, and</li>
<li>learn how Open
Space can play in
the Agile Space,
and </li>
<li>learn more about
Open Agile
Adoption</li>
</ul>
<br>
There will be no
marketing of anything
whatsoever on this
call. The intent is to
offer a gift, to folks
here who are skilled
in OST, folks who may
not have a
programming/IT/software/Agile
background. <br>
<br>
If there is enough
interest from the OST
community, I am ready,
willing and able to
arrange and conduct a
short, structured
phone conference to
address these topics
and facilitate some
lively dialogue and
Q&A around these
topics.<br>
<br>
The date and time for
the proposes
conference call is: <br>
Monday, October 14 at
7PM EST <br>
<br>
Here is a starting
agenda:<br>
<br>
1/ What is Agile? What
is Agile coaching?<br>
2/ What are some of
the special problems
with Agile coaching
and Agile adoptions?<br>
3/ How can Open Space
help?<br>
4/ Can Open Space
facilitators can be
Agile coaches? Is this
really possible? If
so, what extra stuff
do they need to know?<br>
5/ What is Open Agile
Adoption, and why do I
care? <br>
6/ What next steps can
I take to learn more
about the Agile
opportunity?<br>
<br>
To signal interest:<br>
<br>
7/ Please add a brief
note of interest to
this thread, by
replying to it<br>
8/ Send me an email (<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:dan@newtechusa.net" target="_blank">dan@newtechusa.net</a>}
with "OAA 10/14" in
the message subject<br>
<br>
You can visit <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.OpenAgileAdoption.com" target="_blank">www.OpenAgileAdoption.com</a>
if you want to
investigate these
topics a bit more in
advance of responding.
<br>
<br>
You are invited to
signal interest! Based
on your feedback, I
will know exactly what
to do. <br>
<br>
Will you reply by
Monday 10/7, or
sooner?<br>
<br>
Thank you and <br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
