Rethinking Agile: Why Agile Teams Have Nothing To Do With Business Agility Kindle Edition

by Klaus Leopold (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 375 ratings
All of the agile cards have been pulled, and nonetheless new products still do not get faster to the market. If this situation seems familiar, you should read this story about a company that prepared their agile transition in exemplary fashion: 600 employees reorganized into cross-functional teams, their work visualized and practically perfect Standups and Retrospectives held. The result: Time-to-Market for the products became worse – and not a trace of business agility.This book shows you what goes wrong with many agile transitions and why the desired improvements fail to materialize. You also learn how to get out of a dead end and what can be done before starting a transformation in order to prevent heading down a dead end to begin with.A little preview: Do not start by making teams agile – this will save your nerves and lots of money!

    This book helps us how to think about the business agility. Agility is not only a tool that you use to develop a new product, but is a philosophy that make you think about the strategies of your organization. The three level that the company should adopt, the way to think about the goals, where you want to reach or how many efforts do you waft to spend to have this profit or revenue.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A useful case study of increasing organisational agility
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 January 2019

    A great read. Short and illustrated makes it very consumable. Content, as a concrete case study, is great for organisations about to embark on increasing their agility or who are "Doing Agile" and struggling to exhibit agility, to be agile. Suitable for leaders at all levels who might have little prior knowledge or for those with more knowledge.
    Love the illustrations, use of colour, clarity and repetition of the things that should be repeated :) I can see this helping the thinking process at many organisations. As Klaus says in the book, this is not to be cookie cutter copied. Use the contents as inspiration for your own unique context. "Working costs money, delivering makes money".

    I freakin' loved this book. It was an eye opener. "We're so freakin' Agile" in a company that is totally not. great examples, great vulgarisation... It's a must read for anyone in a position of management. Scratch that: It's a must read for anyone.

    Reviewed in the United States on 19 February 2019

    Finally! I thought. Something simple and accessible - that speaks and leads us beyond the rote practices, frameworks and hype that surround our quest for Business Agility.

    Klaus brings together many of the same messages and insights that you will find in his earlier books (please read them as well when you have time). But now you have much quicker access to these insights in a fun format, broken into nice bite-size chunks that makes for a very pleasant read by balancing lively visuals with a thoughtful amount of content and emphasis.

    Buy and read this book! Find out where you, your teams, products, services, value streams, portfolios and orgs are. Draw on these ideas and decide on a next improvement. Then run your experiment and start incrementally improving and evolving your Business Agility from where you are now.
