400 trained and certified employees and monitoring of 28 agile projects
CHALLENGE
In early 2018, the Roche </strong >- one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies, globally launched a guideline in which all its IT teams should start working on the agile model by the middle of that year. At the same time, they released a guideline of all the practices teams should follow.
However, in the pharmaceutical division of Roche in Brazil – the sixth largest affiliate of the group in the world, there was resistance on two main points: the practices were not completely in line with the Brazilian reality and there was a lack of actions to make the transition between the traditional model and the framework < em>Agile.
SOLUTIONS
Together with the Human Resources department, we identified the need to certify professionals in the roles of Product Owner, Scrum Master and Agilista, in addition to Management 3.0 for leaders. For this, we ran small interviews to define a model that would help them achieve the goals. And we came to the conclusion that the plan would be:- Run dynamics with managers and directors to determine priority projects and teams to change models;
- Perform customized training to give these teams technical capacity to perform the work in the agile model;
- Follow these teams, in the hands-on model, in person in their routines.
RESULTS
The “Roche way” of adopting Agile in practice was born;
Creating easy routines for hiring training and certifications;
Greater engagement of teams in the new work model;
Independence of the organization to create its own teams.
