The middle managers in the Agile implementation Agile Israel 2016

Editor's Notes

  • #3: Meet Itsik, a middle manager in a big corporate – לא זוטר ולא בכיר, איפשהו באמצע
  • #4: Itsik likes his job as a manager, Everything goes through Itsik
  • #5: Suddenly he hears the word agile in the corridors. He heard it before. It is something dark
  • #6: Itsik attends a management workshop and hears about agile
  • #7: Itsik looks at developers - they are emancipated
  • #8: Itsik looks at his team leads - some become GLs, some become product owners: they're happy
  • #9: Itsik looks above - his boss is very pleased; higher quality, higher throughput
  • #10: But what about Itsik? What is his place? What should he do about it?
  • #11: Continue doing his stuff under the skin of agile - but how long will it last?
  • #12: There is another option: Renaissance. לשכוח חלק מהדברים שהביאו אותו לאיפה שהוא ולהיזכר בדברים ששכח
  • #13: Lead the change
  • #14: To be a gardener instead of a firefighter – From resources to people
  • #15: Remove obsitcles and build working systems
  • #16: To work in an environment of trust – what is the value of trust (the cost of not having trust in airfields)
  • #17: Go back to doing thing right, enjoying your craft
  • #18: To work with happier, more motivated people will make you happier and motivated
  • #19: To be promoted based on your new leadership
  • #20: To be born anew
