Lean-Agile Governance

Assessing the Health and Status of Lean-Agile Enterprises and Teams

Lean and Agile comes in many flavours and is applied with varying degrees of rigor and formality at many different levels (team, project, program, value-stream, portfolio, enterprise). A key challenge is how to maintain good governance, with appropriate oversight and risk coverage, to ensure that investments are well-directed and protected, but without impeding responsiveness or delaying customer value, thereby diminishing their overall value and effectiveness.

This hands-on workshop introduces and applies a number of simple but powerful tools to enable non-invasive governance in a heterogeneous and empowered lean-agile delivery organisation.

Training Information

Course Overview
  • Deploy clear and objective indicators of the status and health of any endeavour
  • Ensure transparency of status irrespective of chosen methodology (waterfall, lean, agile, …)
  • Define method-neutral quality gates for effective but non-intrusive lifecycle governance
  • Enable local-empowerment and flexibility of lean-agile practices without losing transparency
  • Objectively assess the coverage and adequacy of locally-tailored lean-agile ways-of-working
  • Use self-assessments to enable teams to inspect and adapt lean-agile working practices
Course Itinerary

You will learn how you can apply an industry-standard framework (Essence) to:

  • Establish the status of any Lean-Agile endeavour (Program/Project/Team)
  • Deploy simple but comprehensive method-neutral quality checks and gates
  • Rapidly assess any endeavour’s state of health (actual versus desired status)

You will use essential practices to learn how you can:

  • Empower teams to define their own locally-tailored lean-agile ways-of-working
  • Enable full transparency of approach (all teams are “saying what they do”)

You will apply lean-agile practice assessments to:

  • Assess quality of practices (are teams “doing what they say”)
  • Drive inspect-and-adapt improvement cycles at the team, cross-team and organisation level.
