Agile for Humans with Ryan Ripley and Todd Miller
Empowering Development Leaders and the Middle-Out Approach for Organizational Change
Exploring the concept of empowering development leaders over hiring Scrum Masters, emphasizing a middle-out approach and the need for organizational buy-in for successful transformation efforts.
Ryan and Todd look back at a 2006 post by Ken Schwaber, which covers 15 ways Scrum is both hard and disruptive.
The seventh statement from Ken:
"The use of Scrum to become an optimized product development and management organization is a change process that must be led from the top and requires change by everyone within the enterprise. Change is extremely difficult and fraught with conflict, and may take many years of sustained effort. Turnover of staff and management can be expected."
