- 6. 1. Set a vision… and “SELL” the vision! World Class Engineering ■ Optimize for Speed ■ Is Awesome! ■ Automates Everything ■ Builds on “Clean”Arch ■ Is a “Kick-Ass”Team ■ Nurtures our place where we “craft” ■ Learns and Shares What’s in it for me? ■ Benefits to their career ■ Learning world-class technology and practices ■ Work-life balance Repeat Reinforce!

- 8. 3. Story Owners ■ FromTasks to Stories ■ Responsible for the full value stream till Deployment ■ Full visibility for their Stories ■ Responsible for Delivered Quality – All layers of Automation ■ Responsible of estimates – Not delivering to someone else’s estimate
- 9. 4. Re(define) the Lead role ■ FromWork Planning andTaskAllocation to Technical Mentoring and Story Grooming ■ Discourage them from filling in for their people in the Stand-up – It gives confidence to the hands-on contributor ■ Do not defend or sell the hands-on contributor ■ Contribute themselves => Reduces politics ■ Encourages self-organizing – If Sprint Scope confidence <4, the team is encouraged to regroup and replan!
- 10. 5. Emphasis a Lean mindset… ■ Making all work visible – Creation ofTickets to track non-SDLC tasks/work items – Release level activities, not directly linked to a User Story ■ FollowValue Stream strictly; UserWIP limits (not mature enough to go toVS level) – If you cannot work on something for whatever reason, BLOCK on Board!
- 11. 6. Agile Appraisals ■ From Individual focused appraisals toTeam Contribution focused appraisals ■ Individuals can appraise for their assessment of their performance; organization’s rating is based on what you did demonstrably for the team ■ 3600 feedback – Use the F4P approach to get their feedback about us, anonymously
- 12. 7. Reward and recognition process ■ Democratize the process – Use of Kudo Cards ■ Encourage peer group “Mentors” – During the Self Introspection and Appraisal process, we ask people who their peer group mentors are – Recognize those who standout in such a process – Let people see that peer level mentoring is officially appreciated and recognized
