Agile Change Management ...

Celebrating the addition of another Continent to my global membership/BLOG-reader map, thanks to a nice person in Agar, India for being my reader and volunteering to share city and location, very much appreciated. There are more cities, countries and continents to go 😉.

The Agile Change Management workshop today was hosted by Oliver Wuentsch | Agile Coach from redplane in Duesseldorf,  https://www.agilecoach.redplane.de/agilelandingpage (only in German). A quick summary of the key topics below:

• It started with the Stacey Matrix, to explain where Agile Change Management is helpful - in the COMPLEX area, https://www.agile-minds.com/when-to-use-waterfall-when-agile/
• Then some basics, always good to remember 🙂:
  • Kotter's 8 steps for change, https://www.kotterinc.com/8-steps-process-for-leading-change/
  • Kanban for visualizing project management, https://kanbanize.com/kanban-resources/getting-started/what-is-kanban
  • Lean Startup Thinking or Lean Change Management,    https://leanchange.org/resources/lcm/
• Afterwards some thoughts about Agile Change
  • Change without Agile (new tools for example)
  • Change to Agile (change the way of working)
  • Change within Agile (already using agile principles)
  • You need an agile role concept similar to e.g. Scrum, and agile project management in several iterations
  • And finally a Minimal Viable Change (MVC) similar to the MVP (minimum viable product)
• Bringing it all together in the The Lean Change Method of Jeff Anderson,    https://leanpub.com/leanchangemethod and the Change Canvas
  • Lean Change Canvas — How to Deliver Change Best  https://www.plays-in-business.com/lean-change-canvas-how-to-deliver-change-best/
