In Effective Agility Requires Cultural Changes: Part 1 , I said that real agile approaches require cultural change to focus on flow efficiency, where we focus on watching the work, not the people. The goal to release the product. When the team can focus on the product, as a cross-functional team, they can create some agility.

Strategy and Product Feedback Loops About 20 years ago, I taught a project management workshop to IT people. Their products and services did not ship outside the building—their products and services enabled the organization to make money. See Customers, Internal Delivery, And Trust for a recent post about demos and trust.)

When I work with these teams or their managers, I realize they're not demoing or retrospecting on a regular basis. Worse, these people and teams don't feel any satisfaction with their products. And all those ways require we change the culture from that of resource-efficiency thinking to flow-efficiency thinking.

No one wants to demo this work, because everyone thinks the demo will wander all over the place. Worse, no one wants to demo, because they can't see the value for any user. Use the Demo to Guide Sizing. Use the Demo to Guide Sizing. Focus on the flow of work through the team, flow efficiency thinking.

I assume you have some sort of functional product development expertise. If not, why are you in technical product development? This post is about your deep domain expertise, first in product, then in agility. First, the product-based expertise. That's often product people, testers, and some UI/UX people.

In this part, I’ll discuss an option for a product-oriented organization. Consider a Product-Oriented Organization. Instead of organizing by function, consider a product-oriented organization. Again, I am not saying this is the only way a product organization would look, but this is a possibility. What do you do?

In Effective Agility Requires Cultural Changes: Part 1 , I said that real agile approaches require cultural change to focus on flow efficiency , where we watch the flow of the work , not the people doing tasks. Where the organization rewards resource efficiency, not flow efficiency.) Too few organizations can do that.
