Agile Must Be Invited
vs
Agile Should Be Directed

• “When we impose Agile practices, we kill any chance for an Agile mindset to grow.”
• “Why would I include someone who doesn’t understand Agile in planning the implementation?”
• “Everyone must co-create the vision for change.”
• “Leadership owns the vision for, and drives, the change.”

• “What are the risks of starting Agile ‘wrong?’”
• “How does the way we introduce Agile affect people’s effectiveness?”
• “What happens when we delegate more, or less, of the strategy for implementing Agile?”

• (Conversation is about the needs/fears of individuals and the organization)
• “How will we accept feedback on the approach we’re taking around commitment and engagement?”
• “How do we ensure the needs of the organization are met, too?”
• “How can we get our people involved?”
