Product Agility
How is the Peter Parker Principle Applicable To Large Agile Adoptions - Saloni Seth-Watkins Part 2 of 2
"The only thing worse than training your employees and having them leave is not training them and having them stay" - Henry Ford
Saloni had a seat at the table and could look people in the eye and help them directly with what they had to do. In her expeditions, did she find a way to make the contract game work?
If aviation and agile is your thing, then do contact Saloni.
Did Saloni's approach cause a lot of attrition? (The answer is yes, but not how you think)
Is it really better to train them and risk the leave rather than not doing that and risk their stay?
✔️Hear why Saloni thinks Business Agility is nonsense (and listen to this interview with Karim Harbott, author of the 6 enablers of business agility, to hear another side of the story)
✔️What can the Peter Parker principle teach us about how we or others lead an "agile transformation."
✔️In Saloni's big one, did they change the role descriptions for the senior people as well as the teams?
✔️What is Saloni's elevator pitch for LeSS (given that she has spent time in lifts with very, very senior people before...)
✔️What makes Saloni sad?
✔️What is happy attrition?
✔️Why agile isn't just values and principles anymore, it has morphed into something much scarier
✔️Ben makes a case for the Real Product Owners and why they should be senior
✔️And when Project Management is equally as senior pain begins, how has Saloni dealt with this in the past?
✔️Do you need magic project managers to make a supply and demand model work?
✔️Why do we still need Project Managers in big organisations as they begin to make agile work
✔️What is Ben on about with the Beer Game - Find out here
✔️Why do you need to be bi-lingual, speaking both corporate and agile speak?
✔️Why talking about adoption just messes things up
✔️What was the word never said in Saloni's last big LeSS-like usage?
