The document discusses the idea of an "Agile Change Mashup" where change practitioners are asked to work on agile programs and projects, and agile coaches are asked to effect large-scale change. It proposes combining the skills of agile coaches, who focus on team-level work, and change practitioners, who focus on the organization level. The mashup would focus on both the team and organization, applying systems and complexity thinking with a toolbox of agile methodologies and communication techniques. The document provides examples of how change practitioners and agile coaches can support each other and debunk myths about agile approaches. It encourages readers to try creating their own mashups.

13. WHY CHANGE
PRACTITIONERS

14. WHY WE NEED CHANGE EXPERTS
THE SAME ROLES
THE SAME STRATEGY THE SAME REWARDS
THE SAME PROCESSES THE SAME TEAM SIZE
THE SAME STRUCTURE
@KATYSOUTHPAW

15. WHAT CHANGE IS INVOLVED?
• Roles and team makeup may
change
• Can no longer just give/take
orders
• “Hero syndrome” not
supported
• Delivery processes will change
• Technology will need re-
evaluation
@KATYSOUTHPAW

16. BUSINESS VALUE OF AGILE
WE NEED TO BE AGILE BECAUSE…
• We want to release products
more often
• We want to make
collaboration with customers
easier
• We want to become more
efficient in our processes
• We want to empower teams to
make more decisions
@KATYSOUTHPAW
NOT BECAUSE….
• We want to tell other
companies how agile we
are
• We want to increase our
velocity (output)
• We want to save money

17. Find out how people
process information
in your organization
Saying you don’t
know is OK and is
much better than
saying nothing
Figure out the best
way to push and
pull information
Don’t make the
agile coach always
deliver the message
The scarier the
change, the more
frequent the
communications

18. WHY AGILE COACHES

19. DEBUNK AGILE MYTHS
AGILE IS THE
SAME AS SCRUM
AGILE IS ONLY
FOR TECHNICAL
TEAMS
AGILE IS A
METHOD OR
PROCESS
“HYBRID”
METHODS ARE
AGILE
TRAINING WILL
MAKE YOU AGILE
