Channel: OGuild

Agile recognizes that motivated and empowered people are key to an effective agile adoption and a successful agile transformation. However, agile values and principles are often at crossroads to the established business practices and procedures, especially the HR. While many of these are typically “managed” in a team-level agile adoption, they have a significant impact at an enterprise-wide agile transformation, if left unaddressed.

In this talk, we examined key HR aspects need to be addressed for an effective and sustainable agile transformation, e.g. Roles and Responsibilities, Career Progression and Performance Management, just to name a few. The idea was to understand the impact to these HR issues, so that a more broad-based discussion and action-planning could be undertaken to align then with agile values and principles.
