Join Scott as he discusses valuable lessons he has learned as an Agile Coach working with new agile teams on government projects. After several years on agile projects in the private sector the shift to agile in the public sector was quite a shock. Scott will discuss how the Japanese martial arts concept of ShuHaRi (roughly translated, it means first learn, next detach, then transcend) has helped him become a better coach when working on Agile transformations on government projects. Explore when the maxim “Let the team decide” is not appropriate and the technique of rationing tools and process to encourage engagement. Engage in thoughtful discussion about the stages of learning and come away with valuable guidance for managing the seeming paradox of self-organization and disciplined learning. This discussion provides a powerful message for agile coaches and scrum masters for teams just beginning an agile journey or just stuck in hybrid mode.
