DESCRIPTION
If you are a senior or middle manager that feels left behind in your companies transformation, or worse, like your role is being eliminated, don’t miss this presentation today.
During the Q&A session of the Give Thanks For Scrum 2022 celebration, Dr. Jeff Sutherland confirmed that any real transformation starts with transforming leadership. At Rocket Mortgage for example, it was the senior managers that were first transformed into Agile leaders, and then those leaders drove the transformation throughout the organization. It was these leaders that held the Product Owners and Scrum Masters accountable, removed impediments to true Agility and shielded the Organization from meddling senior executives.
Unfortunately most transformations start with forming teams within the same top-down and silo’d organizational structure and hiring Scrum Masters that have very little authority or accountability to build truly self-managing and cross functional teams or raise escalations for impediments to Business Agility.
If Organizations truly want lasting change, it must start with the transformation of their Engineering and Product leadership at every level. Hard conversations must be had and tough decisions must be made.
