Agile Accelerator Inner Circle
What Are We REALLY Doing Here?
Everything we do in the Agile Accelerator Inner Circle is about Agile Teams.
Agile Team = a cross-functional group of 5-11 individuals who define, build, test, and deliver an increment of value in a short time box.
Accelerator = someone who can help any team communicate better and improve performance using different leadership, coaching and facilitation skills, exercises and approaches.
Many of you will be at different parts in your journey, so your roadmap may be different from other members.
Some are starting out… others are working with storming, norming teams looking to resolve challenges faster… and others are working with performing teams looking to grow.
Some are starting out… others are working with storming, norming teams looking to resolve challenges faster… and others are working with performing teams looking to grow.
BUT… we are all on a mission to help our teams increase performance and become Accelerators where we can make more impact, in less time, and have more fun doing it.
There are 3 main pillars we’ll be focusing on in the Inner Circle
- Your Team current state and challenges
- Your plan for improvement
- Your evaluation and learnings
What to expect during these bi-weekly calls?
We’re just getting started and I know you’re at different stages of your journey.
I’ll be keeping an eye on you and what you’re working on so I can bring wisdom/insight/strategy/tactics to these calls that help all of you. I’ll get better at this over time as I learn more about what you’re working on.
Structure of the calls:
- Start with wins from the week (emotional, actions, or results)
- Review of a specific topic from the Agile Team Coaching Program which I’ll refer to as the “Recharge”
- Lean coffee - to discuss our real life challenges, brainstorm and find optimal solutions in a simple and enjoyable way
- Cook & Taste - anyone who wants to try out their facilitation strategies in a safe place before going to the team, can take the turn, and we taste it all together.
- New recipes - I present new ways, techniques, exercises, strategies to power up our tool set.
- Reflection - we evaluate and observe our path so far: our wins, our failures, our learning and things to do next.
- End with Q&A (ask anything specific to your situation and we’ll jam)
Today’s Recharge: on the topic of agile team coaching… here are the first questions that I ask the teams and management when joining a new team.
