Understand how it is possible to have more productivity and effective deliveries in any area of ​​your company and make them more agile

Can I apply agility in any area of ​​the company? The answer is YES, but it depends on a few points. Being agile today is no longer a feature of IT or Digital Products. Large organizations have several projects in all departments, which seek: – Anticipation of the RoI – Innovate more – Improve existing processes – Better meet the needs and objectives of the area Projects today are surrounded by complexity and we can’t predict in advance everything we need to do to achieve our goals, nor how to make teams produce and communicate more. The problem is not often with the professional – you have good people who work a lot (sometimes not so much), but, in the end, there is the feeling that something is stuck and that they have not been able to deliver what is necessary for the company.< /p> Traditional management models through focused micromanagement people efficiency/productivity increasingly demand more and the results go nowhere. In addition to the financial losses, this scenario directly impacts the team’s productivity and morale and this generates frustration for everyone involved.

Have you ever found yourself in this situation? If so, stay calm. There is indeed a light at the end of the tunnel.

We can rely on the scientific method for this and promote agility in any area of ​​the company. By using an empirical process, we are able, through short cycles, to validate a hypothesis, learn from the feedbacks and adapt the plan if necessary.

When we talk about agility in any area of ​​the company, we are actually talking about organizations that learn! The first step is to provide transparency! We make it very clear:

• which are objectives;
• the flaws;
• the action plan;
• the next deliverables.

With transparency, we start short inspection and adaptation cycles. This builds trust among all involved and paves the way for continuous improvement.

We often have a very good team, but without the tools to deliver more.

Agility provides the tools to support these teams to shine. Problems increasingly become visible and actions are taken to improve this.

In many cases we have problems with lack of focus, each person on the team has different goals, and in periods of close cycle each one starts looking exclusively at their goal and leaves the team in the background. Through the Transparency, Inspection and Adaptation cycles we are able to understand what is happening and make the necessary adaptations Often the organization itself creates these barriers that prevent the team from focusing on generating value. On one of the projects I went through one of the directors said: “No one in this company imagined we could do all of this in three months!” In this case it was a CRM initiative, no there were software developers, in the mamost were people from business areas such as marketing and sales. The team had to learn to say no, we helped them set a clear, short-term goal and the whole team worked focused on that goal. And you know the coolest thing about all this? The team worked at a sustainable pace, without the need for overtime. Want to understand more about how this process works and how we can help you become an agile organization?
