Title:
10 lessons from bottom-up Agile transformation
Short synopsis:
Combination of bottom-up and top-down approach to transform organization seems to be the only sensible option that can work effectively. The question is what to do when you loose top-down part and still want to pursue with the change. For the past two years of my professional experience I was trying to deal with this situation and at the same time provide a meaningful help for different teams and departments within the organization. During this talk I would like to share my experience and list things that helped me and things that worked against my purpose.

Long synopsis (optional):
Hired to play the role of the only enterprise Agile Coach for 5000+ employees organization. At the very beginning everything seemed to be amazing - leadership that understands the need for change, willingness to bring more experperts on the board - even hire a consulting company for some topics. Organization that for the first time in their long history want’s to go Agile - sounds like dream? That was exactly my first impression. After first five months the strongest leader switched the role and we (including me) left with no clear leadership + missing willingness to pursue agile path. Reality of no top-down agile leadership combined with strong motivation of working group I’ve managed to organise - let’s try :) That was my reality for some time. I want to share my experience implementing Agile on different levels on this organization and 10 lessons I took from that moments. But is it possible? The first answer that comes to mind - is no! Quite frankly, based on my experience I believe this kind of transformation is possible but it requires certain steps and understanding from transformation leaders. You may say I believe in magic - that would be true but also it is true that transforming organization by bottom-up approach seems to may have a chance :)
