Keys to crafting an effective agile culture (svcc, 10.15)Ron Lichty
What differentiates a successful software development culture?
Among successful cultures, what makes an agile one stand out?
We think successful software development cultures are ones that are not just performant but that both delight customers and are a joy for every team member to be part of.
One of the characteristics that differentiates agile cultures is that (finally!), it’s not just managers who are responsible for crafting culture - but everyone. And agile, done well, means every one of us engages in the crafting of it.
In addition to training teams in agile, Ron Lichty has spent years coaching managers about how their roles change with agile. While his recent Addison Wesley book, Managing the Unmanageable: Rules, Tools, and Insights for Managing Software People and Teams, didn’t zero in on agile, both the book and the classes that he and his coauthor give current and prospective managers espouse a deeply agile mindset for managers.
We will provide you with the general information about the Rotary Peace Fellowships and the Rotary Peace Centers, Alumni of the program that are working in the field of peace and conflict resolution and prevention, and provide you with resources for supporting the program and future applicants.
We will also touch base on the following subjects: Peacebuilder districts, Rotary Peace Center Major Gifts Initiative, and the Rotarian Action Group for Peace.
This document is evidence that I am a young professional with strong work ethic and leadership experience. Highly motivated to work in a team environment that calls for strong professional qualities.
