09/23/2015 AGILE BOSTON MEETING: Dan LeFebvre on Self-Organization in a Hierarchical World
OUR SEPTEMBER EVENT
The 11th principle of the Agile Manifesto says "The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams." In today's larger organizations of hierarchy, top-down management, and authority from the top; how does a large organization enable the formation of these teams? What do managers do now? We will explore techniques for organization and decision-making that can support self-organization even in a very structured company. We will look at the why hierarchies exist, why they may no longer serve us, and alternatives for delivering work that are proven in real companies today.
