The document discusses the role of the agile manager and the changes required for managers to adapt to agile ways of working. It outlines 6 core activities of the agile manager, including managing projects and staff, supporting self-organized teams, building trust and motivating people, creating an environment for success, and initiating communities of practice. The agile manager plays a key role in an organization's agile transition and must become a supporter of agility rather than an opponent for the transition to be successful.

29. #29 A ROTI for this session… Excellent. A really useful meeting that worth than the time spent on it. High value. Above average. I gained more than the time I spent. Good value. Average. I gained enough to justify the time spent on it. I have not lost my time. No more Useful. But it wasn’t worth 100% of the time spent on it. So I lost time. Useless. I gained nothing. I really lost 45 minutes. No value at all!!
