How do you help your teams challenge themselves to try new things?
There was this one team. They were actually quite good!
That was the good part. However, after a while, they were so good that they started to act as if they didn’t want to improve anymore.
They thought they were good, but I knew they had a serious lack of innovation, they were stuck in the same old methods and processes.
They thought they were better than the rest, but I knew they were just doing the same thing for a long time and were far from their potential!

How do you get management to buy-in to the Agile transformation
You, as I have for sure, have seen companies where Agile starts with a dictate from management, it is pushed top-down by management. They say: We all need to get more agile!
But when I go it and ask, why do you want Agile? They usually lack the business reasons. It’s all a bit fuzzy.
Even if the team is on-board, management is not. Management change is outside of the span of control of the team, and then their resistance keeps coming back in the retrospectives but end up being considered not actionable and thus simply create frustration
How have you been able to break through that gate of IT and start talking about the wider Agile adoption?
