Agile Readiness is designed to provide guidance to the manager or
business leader in establishing a successful environment to enable
fast moving agile and lean project methods focused on business
systems transformation. Agile and lean offer huge potential as
methods for reducing risk and costs, delivering early benefits and
ensuring IT projects genuinely deliver the business transformation
benefits that they promise at the outset. The conundrum for many
organizations is that without a change of organizational culture,
agile and lean methods are very unlikely to be adopted successfully
in traditional organizations. Thus, the struggle that many (if not
most) managers and executives face is not in how agile or lean
development works, but in how to make agile and lean methods
successful when working beyond software development. Thomas P. Wise
and Reuben Daniel provide a clear view of the struggles and
remedies. Their text uses simple ground floor experiences to
illustrate the practices and behaviors necessary to create highly
successful and effective agile and lean business systems
transformation teams. In this book the reader will discover
organizational strategies that build strong teams, an environment
of trust, and project selection and planning strategies to create
an environment of enablement in which agile and lean teams thrive.
As projects become more complex and the project teams are more
geographically and culturally dispersed, so strong, trusting
relationships come to the fore. Trust provides the security that
enables project teams to work together effectively, even when they
face project-threatening problems and challenges. Because today's
team members work virtually as much by choice as by geographic
necessity, business leaders must understand how team relationships
such as trust, cross-divisional projects, and how offshore team
participation are all positively motivated by a solid quality
assurance program. Offering real world solutions, Trust in Virtual
Teams provides a clear view of how virtual projects can succeed,
and how quality assurance compliments and promotes effective
organizational design and project management to build solid trust
relationships. Dr Wise combines the latest research in virtual team
trust with simple and proven quality methods. He builds upon more
than 20 years of experience in quality and project work to guide
team managers in creating high performing project teams. Our
understanding of the role human factors play in project performance
and project resilience continues to grow. As it does, so does our
need to address the behaviors and culture that enable good
performance. Tom Wise's book is a thoughtful and pragmatic guide to
help project teams and managers do just that.
