Discussion: Agile or not yet Agile?

This week discuss all the topics of yesterday in a coaching session with out team.

My Team mates are Koen, Karan and Thilbault.

Each team member has 20 minutes to explain his status, ongoing project, thinking. The purpose is we can receive some questions are recommendation from each other.

Key points

I would just mention some key words or sentences, probably the full context is not so important.

weekly sessions for coaching people with several roles

discuss the desired roles with people and share with HR

stimulating people

working on a little experiment 

safe environment, it is OK to fail

informal chats, cafe-breaks

My turn

I never participated on a coaching session like this. I never had the opportunity to be coached.

I explained my situation how I helped to introduce agile as a scrum master and developer. And then how I turned to technical coaching.

I think we find the week point of this process. Probably it was more governed by the top, and the reason was the teams did not use the opportunity to grow, they were demanding for examples, POCs, pair working with the coach, and even not proposing steps or sharing visions.

There were of course small proposals during sessions, workshops or retro meetings.
