Agile culture...</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>Regarding The Push or Infliction of Agile without Consent</span><br><span></span><br><span>Imposed Agile is now a worldwide epidemic. An epidemic of...closed space. </span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>2006</span><br><span></span><br><span>Martin Fowler, an Agile Manifesto signatory, warned about the folly and harm of imposing "agile" on people</span><br><span></span><br><span>The whole industry looks the other way, and still does to this day: </span><br><span></span><br><span>"...Imposing an agile process from the outside strips the team of the self-determination which is at the heart of agile thinking.</span><br><span></span><br><span>"....personally I'd rather have a team work in a non-agile manner they chose themselves than have my favorite agile practices imposed upon them.</span><br><span>"So I hope I've made clear that imposing agile methods is a very red flag." -Martin Fowler, 2006</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>2012</span><br><span></span><br><span>No one with a prominent voice except Martin Fowler (and maybe Ron Jeffries once in a while) wanted to talk about the folly and harm and horror of imposed "agile" practices back in 2012, or 2013, or 2014, or 2015. Too much money at stake !</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>In 2011/2012 I started experimenting, in client engagements, with "before-and-after OST" with 90 days of enterprise-level experimentation in the middle. By 2012 I had something working pretty good! The results were very strong for the client, although it did tend to reduce how long I needed to be there at very high bill rates...</span><br><span></span><br><span>...I started Tweeting a leading questions, questions like "don't the folks have to be truly engaged for any of this agile stuff to work? Don't they have to want it, for it to work?"</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>2013</span><br><span></span><br><span>As a result of those Tweets, in September of 2013 I received an invite to keynote the Global Scrum Gathering in Paris France, which I accepted. I delivered a speech called DARE TO INVITE which was description of OpenSpace Agility, aka "OSA". </span><br><span></span><br><span>OSA creates 90 day waves of change punctuated by whole-group Open Space events that a) look back and inspect those results and b) look forward plan the next 90-wave. With the whole enterprise. Every 90 days. </span><br><span></span><br><span>It has since spread throughout the world. There are over 1000 people who have been trained in OSA. Based on OST, it is being used worldwide for enterprise agility at scale. </span><br><span></span><br><span>The good news is: almost anywhere that whole-group Open Space is used at the enterprise level in Agile adoptions, the results are much better. You can see video testimonials from executives, managers, developers and UX people, here: https://openspaceagility.com/testimonial-videos/</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>2015</span><br><span></span><br><span>Around 2015 I taught some agile stuff online, for free, to people from OSLIST, under the auspices and authority of OSI-US. It was all by invitation to just a few people. I recall that Lisa Heft, Tricia and "a few others from around here" did attend those sessions. I taught the Agile fundamentals. Scrum. Kanban. Etc. At the time, the idea was to bring some OST people into the Agile space, to open it up a little bit. Eventually I even invited Tricia C. to help me out in some of my accounts, doing agile stuff with me here and there and even facilitating a big OSA-OST event at Intuit in Boston.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Even with this progress, things started to get worse. The imposition of Agile became a kind of epidemic. Agile quickly became mostly all about transactions. Some folks were making millions per year on coercive, forced-march "trance formations." (Many still are.)</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>2016</span><br><span></span><br><span>In 2016, I met Mike Beedle. Another Agile-Manifesto signatory. Unlike almost all the other prominent voices, Mike was 100% OK calling out all the imposed "agile" going around. Very few of the other prominent voices were saying anything. This is still the case today !</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>NOW...</span><br><span></span><br><span>Since 2016, there is widespread and growing acknowledgement that the agile world has actually degraded further. The good news is that there is a new generation, of new and open-minded leaders that are unapologetically ALWAYS using Open Space, usually inside OSA iterations, as a way to invite and engage everyone in the change, everyone, instead of "rolling it out" and inflicting Agile practices on teams and managers without their consent. </span><br><span></span><br><span>OpenSpace Agility is not a Agile framework. It is an engagement model you ADD to your framework. And Open Space is the key and central element that makes it go. </span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>Open Source Licensing for Culture Tech:</span><br><span></span><br><span>OSA is a freely available engagement model you can add to whatever you are using. It is published under an open source license. Feel free: anyone can derive from it and even commercialize that derivation. For an example of this kind of open-source spread of OST and OSA, take a look at OpenSpaceBeta.com from Niels Pflaeging which derives from and is based upon the the foundations of OSA and the open source license: </span><br><span></span><br><span>https://www.openspacebeta.com/license/</span><br><span></span><br><span>Open source licensing for culture technology is very important. You can learn more about that here, and affix your name to the Declaration On Progress: </span><br><span></span><br><span>https://openleadershipnetwork.com/onprogress/</span><br><span></span><br><span>In the future, real soon now, we will be able to look back on when Agile practices were routinely imposed on people, as a push, as a MANDATE, and ask: </span><br><span></span><br><span>WHAT WERE WE THINKING ?!?</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>Daniel Mezick</span><br><span>Co-Founding Member, Open Leadership Network <https://openleadershipnetwork.com/></span><br><span></span><br><span>Learn how to really transform this time: </span><br><span></span><br><span>Learn how to use Open Space Technology,</span><br><span>and other Open leadership patterns, </span><br><span>at the Open Leadership?Symposium Feb 4-5-6 in?Tampa Florida <https://openleadershipnetwork.com/events/2020-tampa></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><blockquote type="cite"><span>On Jan 10, 2020, at 2:57 PM, Diana Larsen via OSList <oslist@lists.openspacetech.org> wrote:</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>I love your story, Michael.

When I showed up, they explained to me what Agile was. I just started laughing. "Guys," I said, "You do realize that you're making software in Open Space!" My short explanation of that characterization is that in both Agile and OS, "We put all the most important stuff on the wall. And then we get it done." </span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>Fast forward to 2017, Mike Beedle, one of the original co-authors of the Agile Manifesto (agilemanifesto.org <http://agilemanifesto.org/>), launched a framework for (whole) Business or Enterprise Agility. The foundation of that is an adapted "Business Model Canvas." Mike and I used to muse about whether the 9-15 boxes on those canvases were so many small open spaces (on important dimensions of the work, or if it was really one big open space with a finite number of predictable tracks of work (e.g. purpose, customer, metrics, team practices, resources, governance, value delivery, and so on). Either way, we always agreed that Mike's Enterprise Scrum canvas-based framework was surely a form of Ongoing Open Space. </span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>Since then, in practice, I've found that following an OS meeting with work in an Enterprise Scrum canvas, the canvas being a way to keep the marketplace open and loosely organized going forward, is a somewhat more rigorous but also natural enough way to support "keeping the work going" after the OS. </span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>Overall, what I like about the pairing of OS and Agile approaches is this: The strong invitation, engagement, alignment that arises so quickly and easily in OS doesn't automatically lead into rigorous action, if the organization doesn't already have that rigor active in itself. At the same time, Agile approaches bring an easy, natural rigor to work, but don't necessarily invite, engage and align. Imposed, and Too Narrow (closed), understanding of Agile, Value and Transformation too often have Agile teams working very rigorously but not as smart and aligned as they really want/need to be. </span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>Some combination of open (space) invitation and operational (agile) rigor, however, in the same/shared spirit of self-organization, is my favorite way to play these days. </span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>Michael </span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>--</span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>Michael Herman</span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>Michael Herman Associates</span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>312-280-7838 (mobile)</span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>MichaelHerman.com <http://michaelherman.com/></span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>OpenSpaceWorld.org <http://openspaceworld.org/></span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>On Fri, Jan 10, 2020 at 10:48 AM Thomas Herrmann via OSList <oslist@lists.openspacetech.org <mailto:oslist@lists.openspacetech.org>> wrote:</span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>Dear friends in Open Space</span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>I had an interesting meeting today with a person in a large IT company and I was reminded about this video, I think I shared it here before but it?s worth watching again ?

One reason is that it is so rare we do not have common nouns in our common conversations to describe these persons and their behaviour.</span><br><span></span><br><span>The video captures this tension and asks can we use these ideas on a global scale? The answer is an emphatic YES. Remember ?the power of one? and the impact that each of us can make if we chose this ?way less travelled?. My limited mobility combined with my health issues requires that I work on myself and my small circle of friends. My challenge to the young healthy and mobile of us will you give it a go? The rewards are simply a healthy place to live well into the future.

My own sense is that Agile, like OS, is a</span><br><span>naturally occurring human phenomenon, and we just have to get/keep out of</span><br><span>our own way. I've found it an easy addition to my OS practice.</span><br><span></span><br><span>A few more bits of background. And then an invitation.</span><br><span></span><br><span>After that first conference in 2002, the Agile Alliance has kept some form</span><br><span>of OS going at every conference since then, even as it's gotten maybe 10x</span><br><span>bigger than the original. Then something called the Scrum Gathering,</span><br><span>another conference of 1000s also started using OS for a big chunk of one</span><br><span>day. Those conferences are a long way from ongoing OS practice in</span><br><span>organization, but the 2007 one I facilitated stood out for me as the first</span><br><span>time I'd ever been walking around a conference, overhearing references to</span><br><span>"...open space..." where folks were talking about their organization/work</span><br><span>and not the conference event itself.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Along the way, Diana Larsen, as Alliance president, had Larry Peterson, and</span><br><span>later myself, facilitate Agile Alliance board retreats in a very OS sort of</span><br><span>way, sewing more seeds with active leaders in the community. One of the</span><br><span>things that came out of that was the Agile Open program, where the Alliance</span><br><span>would advance seed money for regional OS Agile conferences. Diana could</span><br><span>say more about how that worked. What I've seen is that many agile practice</span><br><span>groups meet monthly and use an OS type of format sometimes, often or</span><br><span>always. Many regional conferences have a big slice of OS as part of the</span><br><span>program, too.</span><br><span></span><br><span>I think Daniel and I first talked about Invitation and OS in 2010 or 2011,</span><br><span>and again maybe 2013 or 14. Around that same time, Sandra Walsh was</span><br><span>working on a PhD in Ireland, studying the use of OS to initiate agile</span><br><span>projects. She showed why OS was a better way to identify needs and vision</span><br><span>and distill them into technical requirements. She called her approach</span><br><span>OpenXP (XP refers to one of the original bodies of agile practice called</span><br><span>Extreme Programming).</span><br><span></span><br><span>I was also part of Daniel's learning Agile group in 2015. I found the</span><br><span>methods easy to learn, the local community easy to join, and by the end of</span><br><span>2016 I'd started doing some work as a Scrum Master and later Agile Coach.</span><br><span>I find when I stand in an organization, as an Agile Coach, my posture,</span><br><span>sensing, instincts, inclinations, challenges, approach, etc are exactly the</span><br><span>same as when I stand in the middle of an OS event. The heart of both</span><br><span>practices is inviting!</span><br><span></span><br><span>In 2018 or so, Jutta Eckstein and John Buck wrote a book called BOSSA Nova,</span><br><span>which outlined their work to combine OS with some other methods for</span><br><span>company-wide agility (ready company-wide ongoing open space). They</span><br><span>combined Beyond Budgeting, OS, Sociocracy, and Agile.</span><br><span>I was a contributor to that book and tried to help agilists understand the</span><br><span>difference(s) between "conference OS" and "organization OS." One of the</span><br><span>stories shared was the story of what Walmart did with Daniel's OSA model,</span><br><span>in 30+ OS events. A favorite I've posted previously to the OSLIST.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Which is all to say that Agile has been learning its way into OS for a long</span><br><span>time, almost as long as Agile has been "a thing" in itself. And now it's</span><br><span>escaping IT into whole organizations and even work in communities.</span><br><span></span><br><span>If you've been facilitating OS, the Agile community is a vast network</span><br><span>people and body of practice where you'll likely find people who are</span><br><span>familiar, understand, and appreciate OS. You might find skepticism too,</span><br><span>but not very much, I think. I'd encourage anyone who's curious to check</span><br><span>MeetUp.com for public, monthly, agile groups/meetings near you. They seem</span><br><span>to be almost everywhere. Chicago must have at least five of them now, for</span><br><span>instance.</span><br><span></span><br><span>I'd be glad to help others get over any perceived "humps" or barriers to</span><br><span>learning more about Agile. Ping me off list if you like.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Michael</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>--</span><br><span></span><br><span>Michael Herman</span><br><span>Michael Herman Associates</span><br><span>312-280-7838 (mobile)</span><br><span></span><br><span>MichaelHerman.com</span><br><span>OpenSpaceWorld.org</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>On Fri, Jan 10, 2020 at 4:13 PM Daniel Mezick via OSList <</span><br><span>oslist@lists.openspacetech.org> wrote:</span><br><span></span><br><blockquote type="cite"><span>Greetings to All,</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>This is an interesting thread to say the least.
