The Agile/Lean plan must be communicated to the workforce (face to face) and an agile implementation (involving five to six people) of the volunteers must be formed. The role of the team members must be demarcated. If you stick to a few of these suggestions your team should perform admirably. Look at your employees and try to determine which ones have demonstrated some of these traits so you can build your team.
• Understanding “just enough" planning • Pursuit of customer value always come first • Technical excellence ability to complete different roles • Collaborator, communicator (face to face) with upper management • Team to ownership, we all win or lose together
How much time a team needs to progress through the agile stages greatly depends on team composition, external factors, but it certainly isn’t a matter of hours, days, and sometimes weeks. Our experience at Owls Nest Capital is that teams need at least three or four sprints to arrive at the performing phase. Remember to get to this phase they must be supported by management and the entire enterprise in this process.
