One of my clients wants to use shared services “teams” as they start their agile transformation. Their developers work on a product for months and years at a time. They're wasting time, which costs much more than the salary costs. Agile approaches break the idea of a “shared service” model of people.

In Part 1 , I wrote about how “Agile” is not a silver bullet and is not right for every team and every product. This post is about how management fits into agile approaches. Too often, managers think “agile” is for others, specifically teams of people. Managers Create and Refine the Culture.

In our book Time, Talent and Energy , we note that when employees aren’t as productive as they could be, it’s usually the organization, not its employees, that is to blame. Many corporate cultures require collaboration far beyond what is needed to get the job done. Executives can also work on culture and coaching.

We hear about agile teams, in the form of product or feature teams. However, too many managers still work independently. That’s a problem when the teams have organizational problems a single manager can’t solve. Instead of managers working alone, what if we had teams of managers? Benefits of Management Teams.

.” In my experience, when organizations want to use agile approaches or transform in some way, the managers start with the teams. The more I work with people on teams, with teams, and with managers, the more I am convinced starting with the teams is the “wrong” end to start. And, the teams benefit.

Our approach is rooted in extreme programming and agile processes , and the foundation of our work environment is a pair programming culture. I’m not quite as motivated (in terms of my fitness) or organized (in terms of my time management). I wake up at 8 AM, barely enough time to shower and catch the subway.
