Teaching pointy haired bosses to be agile enablersRyan Ripley
Are managers hindering your Agile transition? Does it seem like things would be better if the managers all left?
Most managers are intelligent people who have built their careers and fed their families with their current knowledge and experience. During an agile transformation, we need them on-board. Managers know their present situation better than anyone else. They also have inside knowledge about the corporate systems and culture that agile coaches need in order to be successful.
But in some cases the manager does not understand agile. In extreme cases, they can become an impediment to an agile transformation moving forward. How can you get these managers back on your side, supporting the agile transformation?
Agile coaches should start with working to understand what the world looks like through the eyes of these managers. To facilitate this understanding, I discuss re-purposing the concept of product user personas to create manager personas that explore the issues, reservations, hold-ups and concerns that are keeping the manager from supporting an agile transformation.
With this new understanding, agile coaches can develop ways to demonstrate to managers why the agile approach is better, where management fit in the larger picture, and how management also benefits from the changes in the way the team delivers value back to the organization. These insights show managers where they can improve agile projects, how they can add value in a newly transformed organization, and how agile coaches can guide management without alienating them during an agile transformation.
This document discusses agile retrospectives, including why they are important, what they involve, and how to conduct them successfully. Retrospectives allow teams to continuously improve by reflecting on what went well and what could be improved in the last sprint or iteration. The key aspects covered are preparing an agenda and materials, gathering feedback from the team, analyzing the feedback to select a few key items to action, and planning follow-ups to ensure improvements are implemented. Conducting regular retrospectives helps teams enhance their processes and productivity over time.
Help the Scrum Master IS the ImpedimentRyan Ripley
The change in mindset necessary to become a servant leader is incredibly hard for a scrum master who comes from command and control background. As a newly minted Professional Scrum Master (PSM I), I returned to my team excited and ready to get underway with a scrum adoption. Unfortunately, I had not fully grasped the concept of servant leadership. Instead of being a change agent, I was an impediment.
My own cautionary tale is unfortunately a common one. Well meaning people with 2 day certifications can do a lot of damage to a new scrum team. Attendees will learn about the difficulties of becoming a scrum master, how scrum team members need to embrace the scrum values to promote healthy team practices, and that even certified scrum masters can lose their way.
The purpose of the Sprint Retrospective is to:
- Inspect how the last Sprint went with regards to people, relationships, process, and tools;
- Identify and order the major items that went well and potential improvements; and,
- Create a plan for implementing improvements to the way the Scrum Team does its work.
Reboot Your Life - an elegant time management approachPaul Gibbons
This document discusses personal productivity and leadership using David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology.

People at board and top management typically believe that transforming a company from good to great requires an extreme personality, an egocentric chief to lead the corporate charge. But that’s not the case in 21st century management world, where the basic essence of management is more of human emotions and sentiments centric. The essential ingredient for taking a company to greatness is having a “Level 5” leader, an executive in whom extreme personal humility blends paradoxically with intense professional will. This session will focus on explaining the various aspects of leadership and its levels and will focus on the hardcore aspect of transformational leadership which not only focuses on ‘having jobs done’ and ‘having targets met’ but will transform an organization from ‘good’ to ‘great’. It involves explanation of difference between a manager and a leader and how leadership has become an essential element of modern managing function and what are the competencies relevant to leadership qualities. The core learning that will be transferred during this session is that a leader needs IQ and Technical Expertise for sure, but there is something more important if a leader needs to exercise Level 5 transformational leadership and that is EQ (Emotional Quotient). Various dimensions of EQ a Level 5 leaders should possess will be explained and focus will be put on how such EQ can be developed. The session ends with some strategic suggestions for exercise of Level 5 leadership for taking organization from ‘good’ to ‘great’.

Common communication
mistakes
• Not editing your work : mistakes (spelling, grammar…) make you look careless
• Delivering bag news by email : use nonverbal communication to soften difficult
messages
• Avoiding difficult conversations : give clear and actionable feedback, prepare
difficult conversations
• Not being assertive : be clear about your needs, say it ! Say “no” if necessary
• Reacting, not responding : avoid emotional reactions, it can damage your reputation
• Not preparing thoroughly
• Using a “one-size-fits-all” approach to communication
• Not keeping an open mind when meeting new people
• Assuming that your message has been understood
• Accidentally violating other’s privacy

Negative Feedback (criticism) Tool : DESC
• Describe : facts, quotes (validate)
• Express : opinion, feelings (“I”)
• Suggest : proposal, no orders (SMART)
• Consequences : (positive) result for the other person(s)
No accusation, never « you are… »
use “I”
Plus votre feedback est
exprimé violemment, moins il
sera entendu…
13. @elodescharmes
Non-verbal communication
• According to
Albert Mehrabian
– Total Liking =
7% Verbal Liking
+
38% Vocal Liking
+
55% Facial Liking
Please note that this and other
equations regarding relative importance
of verbal and nonverbal messages were
derived from experiments dealing with
communications of feelings and
attitudes (i.e., like–dislike).

focus : des réunions utiles
• Une réunion coûte cher !
– coût = salaire horaires * nombre de participants + …
• (En France) on a souvent la réunionite (aigue)…
16. @elodescharmes
focus : des réunions utiles
• Les bonnes questions à se poser avant la réunion
– La réunion va-t-elle se dérouler ?
• Fixer une date ni trop tôt ni trop tard. Idéalement proposer 4
créneaux trois semaines avant la date prévue.
– ….avec les bons participants ?
• Les personnes présentes sont-elles les bonnes ?
– « assommer » un hiérarchique en transformant une réunion d’avancement
en réunion technique
– faire une réunion sans savoir précisément ce que l’on attend des
participants
– vouloir entériner une décision … sans le décideur
– Pourquoi investit-on du temps ?
• Préparer la réunion : 1h de réunion = jusqu’à 4h de préparation
(tous les participants à la réunion peuvent avoir une tâche de
préparation et on doit leur avoir rappelé laquelle)
17. @elodescharmes
focus : des réunions utiles
• Pendant la réunion
– Avant de commencer : balayer les objectifs de la réunion
• ordre du jour + tour de table des sujets + rappel de la préparation
effectuée
– Deux rôles à tenir
• L’animateur est le garant de l’efficacité / temps et de l’ordre du jour
• Le secrétaire rédige et envoie le compte-rendu
– Qu’est-ce qui a été décidé ? Concrètement ?
• Un compte-rendu doit déboucher sur des objectifs d’action précis
• RIDA (voir slide suivante)

Hofstede's Six Dimensions of Culture
Professional tips
Power Distance Index (PDI)
PDI Characteristics Tips
High PDI
Centralized organizations.
More complex hierarchies.
Large gaps in compensation,
authority and respect.
Acknowledge a leader's status.
As an outsider, you may try to
circumvent his or her power, but
don't push back explicitly.
Be aware that you may need to
go to the top for answers.
Low PDI
Flatter organizations.
Supervisors and employees are
considered almost as equals.
Delegate as much as possible.
Ideally, involve all those in
decision making who will be
directly affected by the decision.

23. @elodescharmes
Hofstede's Six Dimensions of Culture
Professional tips
Individualism Versus Collectivism (IDV)
IDV Characteristics Tips
High IDV
High value placed on people's time
and their need for privacy and
freedom.
An enjoyment of challenges, and an
expectation of individual rewards for
hard work.
Respect for privacy.
Acknowledge individual
accomplishments.
Don't mix work life with social life
too much.
Encourage debate and expression of
people's own ideas.
Low IDV
Emphasis on building skills and
becoming master of something.
People work for intrinsic rewards.
Maintaining harmony among group
members overrides other moral
issues.
Wisdom is important.
Suppress feelings and emotions that
may endanger harmony.
Avoid giving negative feedback in
public.
Saying "No" can cause loss of face,
unless it's intended to be polite. For
example, declining an invitation
several times is expected.

Hofstede's Six Dimensions of Culture
Professional tips
Masculinity Versus Femininity (MAS)
MAS Characteristics Tips
High MAS
Strong egos –
feelings of pride and
importance are
attributed to status.
Money and
achievement are
important.
Be aware of the possibility of differentiated gender
roles.
A long-hours culture may be the norm, so recognize
its opportunities and risks.
People are motivated by precise targets, and by being
able to show that they achieved them either as a group
or as individuals.
Low MAS
Relationship
oriented/consensual.
More focus on
quality of life.
Success is more likely to be achieved through
negotiation, collaboration and input from all levels.
Avoid an "old boys' club" mentality, although this
may still exist.
Workplace flexibility and work-life balance may be
important, both in terms of job design, organizational
environment and culture, and the way that
performance management can be best realized.

25. @elodescharmes
Hofstede's Six Dimensions of Culture
Professional tips
Uncertainty Avoidance Index (UAI)
UAI Characteristics Tips
High UAI
Conservative, rigid and structured,
unless the danger of failure requires a
more flexible attitude.
Many societal conventions.
People are expressive, and are
allowed to show anger or emotions, if
necessary.
A high energy society, if people feel
that they are in control of their life
instead of feeling overwhelmed by
life's vagaries.
Be clear and concise about
expectations and goals, and set
clearly defined parameters. But
encourage creative thinking and
dialogue where you can.
Recognize that there may be
unspoken "rules" or cultural
expectations you need to learn.
Recognize that emotion, anger and
vigorous hand gestures may simply
be part of the conversation.
Low UAI
Openness to change or innovation,
and generally inclusive.
More inclined to open-ended learning
or decision making.
Less sense of urgency.
Ensure that people remain focused,
but don't create too much structure.
Titles are less important, so avoid
"showing off" your knowledge or
experience. Respect is given to those
who can cope under all
circumstances.

Hofstede's Six Dimensions of Culture
Professional tips
Pragmatic Versus Normative (PRA)
PRA Characteristics Tips
Pragmatic
People often wonder how to know
what is true. For example, questions
like "What?" and "How?" are asked
more than "Why?"
Thrift and education are seen as
positive values.
Modesty.
Virtues and obligations are
emphasized.
Behave in a modest way.
Avoid talking too much about
yourself.
People are more willing to
compromise, yet this may not always
be clear to outsiders; this is certainly
so in a culture that also scores high
on PDI.
Normative
People often want to know "Why?"
Strong convictions.
As people tend to oversell
themselves, others will assess their
assertions critically.
Values and rights are emphasized.
Sell yourself to be taken seriously.
People are less willing to
compromise as this would be seen as
weakness.
Flattery empowers
