As organizations transition to the agile environment, they must transition to an agile mindset.

This requires the definition of new roles, which can cause added confusion.

Unfortunately there is no concise definition of how to build an agile team and there tends to be a lot of debate over the traditional roles of the project manager and the business analyst, as well as other players on agile projects.

Organizations that maintain a traditional IT way of thinking on roles are likely putting their adoption of agile at risk.

Two questions that those new to agile usually ask are:
  1. What are the roles on an agile team? and …
  2. How do you organize an agile team?

This webinar addresses these questions by examining best practices in how to develop and maintain an agile team.

This webinar will also explore:

  1. Drawing lines from traditional titles to agile titles
  2. Staying focused on the agile manifesto and agile principles
  3. Focusing on building a team with skills that align with agile versus focusing on roles
  4. Defining components of a successful agile team and some core principles
  5. Getting good people and the importance of effective communication
  6. Adopting the agile mindset

We know that:

  • Good change should be step-based
  • Some people will get fired up but most will resist to varying degrees
  • That difficult emotions, such as grief, will accompany the change …
  • And our change methodologies reflect this knowledge.

But what if these assumptions were wrong?

What if they were underpinned by dodgy theories, poor evidence and spotty data? How then might we approach change?

In this webinar Richard Claydon (LinkedIn profile) examines how the ideas underpinning the management of change should not necessarily be carved in stone and provides alternative possibilities that might positively disrupt its delivery.
