Exercise: Working Practices 2/2
Round 2
Please redo the exercise by looking at a team you work(ed) for or the practices you apply
Split complex challenges into parts
–
When the challenge is complex, apply self-organization or agile practice
Use linear processes such as step-by-step and ‘If the situation is X, then do Y’
Create natural process flows
Like roundabouts on the road replaced rigid traffic lights for better throughput, lower costs and fewer accidents
Management and experts provide the decisions to make
Happens through directions, rules, standards, processes, IT applications and the like
People have the freedom to make decisions for the situation at hand
Build on what you have
Stop doing what does not work
Define what you are talking about
Use patterns: everybody can have a somewhat different view
Demonstrate short-term action when problems occur
Resolve problems at their root cause(s)
When there is insufficient compliance: Enforce compliance with best practices, processes, strategies, standards and the like
Give people the freedom to do what makes (business) sense
That’s it.
Please keep the number of choices for both rounds in mind
