We've got a whole smorgasbord of ingredients that can go into a scaled agile transformation. Coaching, education, metrics, mentoring, what agile framework to use and more make up the various parts of a transformation.
Being a recovering PMP (It's been eight years since I used a Gantt chart), I used to think there was one way to execute a plan. You started with a charter and went through the phases.
Only no two organizations are the same. No one process flow can address every situation you might face as an agile coach.
Which is why I stopped using a playbook and started using a cookbook. Like an Iron Chef, I get to know my ingredients very well. I understand who my judges (teams and stakeholders) are and I tailor how I introduce and prepare my ingredients to best meet the needs of my audience.
And as I've mastered my Agile Cookbook, I've discovered five key ingredients that make up the vast majority of all agile transformation dishes I have served.
So come learn what my Iron Agile secret ingredients are and see if they'll help you be the next Iron Agilist.
