    Greetings Friends,<br>

    "...
    
    The old ways are passing, and the new ones are yet to

    This is a gentle reminder that the next call in the <span> "Agile for OST Facilitators" series is Monday
      October 28 2013 7PM EST</span>, which is tomorrow. <br>
    <br>
    This is a call for OST folks new to "Agile software development" who
    want to know how and why to connect OST with "Agile adoptions."<br>
    <br>
    All the details are listed below, including the history of these
    calls so far. You are hereby invited to participate!<br>

    <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 href="http://www.OpenAgileAdoption.com" target="_blank">www.OpenAgileAdoption.com</a><br>
    <br>
    The agenda for the call on 10/28 is to answer the questions listed
    below.<br>
    <br>
    <span>The call is limited to just 25 persons, so please
      note that your registration is an explicit commitment to attend. <br>

      <p class="MsoNormal"><span>If the facilitator for the 1st OS is external
          to the organization (neutral as oppose to an on-going

          OS? ...granted that it is also a good idea to pass on the
          learning of opening space to someone internal if they can play

          </span>reading the <a 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

      <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

          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

          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

          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>

          degree of transformation within senior management ranks
          (indeed it may lead to a new kind of resistance at the top).

          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
