Scrum Start-up Package

Training alone is not enough

A Scrum Master, Team or Product Owner training alone is not enough to put Scrum into practice. The real challenge begins after the training, when it’s time to apply theoretical knowledge to real projects. With this start-up package, we offer efficient support during the introduction and practical implementation of Scrum.

TOOL

Team Coaching Framework™

Governance while allowing for autonomy and flexibility

The Team Coaching Framework™ (or TCF) is an initiative by agile42 to speed up the team learning process and performance, and to help new Agile coaches in any organization start new teams, grow them and set them on the path to continuous improvement. The TCF creates a structured approach to coaching that aims at improving team performance by providing clear guidance and structure to the team’s coaches. It also allows the members of an organization or the larger professional community to share their experience and improvements.

PACKAGE

Kanban Start-Up Package

Alternative to Scrum

Our  Kanban Start-up Package helps you with your journey and path to alternative agility. We will assist you in creating Kanban systems for your organization by empowering you to manage your current workflow, so that you can improve the way you deliver value and evolve your business to better meet the needs of your customers.

We understand that the challenge only begins after you’ve done the training and when it’s time to apply the knowledge. This start-up package offers you efficient support and guidance during your journey of implementing the Kanban Method in practice.


Improve, learn & take the next step

Remove Dysfunctions

Do you encounter:

  • Lack of shared beliefs
  • Roles still being aligned with traditional functional silos
  • Negative impacts on the team’s performance due to organizational and cultural aspects
  • A lack of commitment and discipline

We support you in understanding the existing team constraints and determine how to help each team member and the team as a whole improve.

WORKSHOP

Decision making in teams

Ways to embrace responsibility

Navigating changing situations has become absolutely crucial in our current day and age. We equip teams to use Cynefin, a sense-making framework that enables situational decision-making. This empowers the team to take appropriate responsibility and action based on context.

WORKSHOP

Break the pattern

Become unstuck

When an organization is stuck, it is often impossible for people to see where they are repeating harmful patterns because everyone is inside the same system. We facilitate experiences that allows the organization to break out of this pattern by seeing the process from different perspectives. We use additional sessions to follow up on the organization’s progress.

On agile42 Remote Workshop

This was by far the best professional remote workshop that I’ve attended. I am looking forward for the next coaching sessions with you. Thank you!

WORKSHOP

The Future Backwards

Seeing the present like never before

Would you like to:

  • unlock the hidden team potential of the present?
  • discover invisible team possibilities for the future?
  • enable your team member to see through each others’ eyes?

These questions and more will be unpacked in this workshop with follow-up sessions to support your change process.

WORKSHOP

Global Agile Retrospective

Bringing one or multiple teams in sync

Sometimes you want to change the outcome, but it feels like you are doing more of the same. We believe that an organizational cross-team retrospective can be a game changer. Taking the time to look back and reflect on how we got where we are today can highlight how we have learned through our mistakes. We provide facilitation from a valuable neutral and external perspective and we support your commitments and evolution through follow-up sessions.

WORKSHOP

Archetype assessment

What is your team culture?

The archetype assessment supports teams in becoming more self aware and autonomous by using archetypes to understand how leadership (as a capability and not as a role), behavior, and organizational structure come together and express themselves in the dynamics of any team.

ORGANIC agility Foundations

Building Leadership Capability

Leadership presents itself in many ways. The ORGANIC agility approach sees leadership as a capability rather than a role or title. Enabling teams to make good decisions, to take on responsibility and earn respect as leaders in their domains is an important step in an organization’s path to agility and resilience. For Agile Coaches, ORGANIC agility offers many services that allow them to better support their teams.

On ORGANIC agility

I feel that my journey with this framework has only begun. And I don’t usually buy into frameworks that much, for me it’s more about first principles always. But this time I really have to say that you’ve created something powerful and I’d be happy to be part of the community that develops it further. The era of complexity has arrived and this, in addition to Cynefin is the current most cutting edge set of principles and patterns that one can utilize to cope with the challenges posed by the accelerating pace of change into the adjacent possible.

Kanban Pizza Game™

It’s difficult to teach the principles of Lean and Agile simply by lecturing. People have to experience the principles by themselves to get a feeling for how it all works. While other Kanban games usually only focus on the mechanics of the board and flow in a predefined Kanban system, our Kanban Pizza Game teaches you how to get from an existing process to a Kanban system, how to visualize it and start modifying it.
