Organizations eager to take advantage of the benefits touted by Agilists may inappropriately attempt an all or nothing-at-all, top-down approach to Agile adoption. However, experience has shown that successful Agile adoptions must always begin at the team level and must be guided by a clear, step-wise approach. In this view of both Agile maturity and scaling, Jean borrows from the Lean Thinking principles of attaining total value delivery: perfect your ability to maintain Flow of value, learn to use the principle of Pull in order to deliver even more value, and embrace an organizational imperative to Innovate so that value is forever redefined and re-emerging.

With this in mind, Agile adoption at the team level concentrates on those Agile guidelines that emphasize Flow:

  • Time-boxed, rhythm of regular flow of value
  • Prioritized delivery of value
  • Compact teams that define, build, test and accept value in the time box
  • High accessibility to the owner of the value (product owner and customer)
  • Burning visibility into the daily delivery of value
  • Inspect and adapt tools that help teams respond to change
  • Mentorship by an experienced Agile coach

All of these practices of team Flow benefit from tooling that sets the entire Agile development and delivery management in motion as they move to mature from Flow practices to multi-team Pull and Innovate approaches.
