Even at its very foundation, the cornerstone of Agile is the concept of self-organization.

Self-organization ultimately centers on professional skills, autonomy and empowerment.

When executed correctly, it is a strong first step on the road to embracing multiple agile practices. If your team can’t self-organize, it is a strong sign that your organization is not ready for agile.

In this web seminar the concept of self-organization will be explained in real terms using real examples.

The components necessary for self-organized success will be discussed including:

  • A look at autonomy and the fears and risks associated with it
  • Critical attributes of team members
  • Critical attributes for managers and leaders
  • Team responsibilities
  • Manager and Leader responsibilities
  • Techniques to hire for team members who can fit in with self-organization
  • Failure points and tips to overcome those points

The final piece to this success is understanding that at the core of self-organization is trust. We will finish by discussing tactics and tips on how to develop trust from both the top down and bottom up.
