Culture, habit and Agile Transformation

• 40% of decisions people make everyday are not decisions, but habits. (Dr. Wendy Woods).
• Key to changing habits is not willpower, rather it is changing environment.
• Change requires organizational re-learning -- unlearning and learning everything new

Kubler-Ross Model adapted to Agile Transformation

Reference: Jonathan Smart on Medium.com

The Kubler-Ross Curve originated from psychiatrist Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’s work on grief, published in 1969. It has been found to be valid in the majority of situations relating to change and we have repeatedly observed this pattern to hold true via feedback from colleague surveys.

Agile Transformation Steps

It is very important to choose the right candidate projects for Agile Transformation. Too often you will lose credibility of the right projects are not picked up. There will be stiff resistance from teams if they don't see the value of transformation soon enough.

Co existence of old ways of working is another key factor. Ensure the new ways of working are comprehensively implemented. Most often allowing old framework to co-exist will undermine the efforts of agile ways / new ways of working. This may include the traditional documentation, phase reviews and documentation sign offs.
