7. The voice of Scrum
The voice of scrum says to you....
I have created the space for you to
awaken -- have you felt it?’
You can see more clearly what the
impediments to your work are.. and it’s
now important to attend to them.
You can talk more freely with one
another, asking “what do you need?”
“how can I help?” and “how can we be
something great together?”
You can see your colleagues eye-to-eye
rather than across a cubicle wall.
You have the chance to build something
great.
I have created this openness, this
possibility for you -- opening the way for
a better work and a better life.
But it requires change.
Are you ready?

9. What forces call for change?
The world is changing quickly
Competition is forcing us
I want to love my job, to contribute, to create
Agile reveals our faults

54. The voice of Scrum
The voice of scrum says...
If you have been awakened at all then I urge you....
Do not go back to sleep
We have much work to do, much progress to make
We have many accomplishments to see come true and a joy to
recapture
Throughout all this change, be like the dance, flowing with
whatever music is playing.
Open your heart and mind to your friends, your colleagues, your
customers. Create delight.
It is the way of scrum
Giving you opportunity to grow and to become more of who you
are.
To have a purpose and to live aligned with that purpose.
To lead the way into our common future.
Lyssa’s Key Concepts:\nChange comes to us continually, agile coaches can help (and here’s their toolbox)\nEfforts to effect the change have not been great so far\nChange happens when we partner with people using professional coaching skills\nChange is a process, not an event (like a deployment weekend)\nAgile people go through some predictable changes\nStarwalk: Connection creates the openness for change\n\nMichael's Key Concepts:\nHere are several models fro thinking about change - a false one, but a common one and a better one\nHere are different aspects about change\n

Segue: If you have a new technology, you’ll get a specialist in that technology to help. If your car is broken, you’ll get a specialist - a mechanic - to fix it. In the agile world you need a human change specialist.\n

The transformation process, in reality, is a messy one. If we want to learn it, we should focus on the middle portion, when the caterpillar has turned into a chrysalis but before the butterfly has emerged.\n\nTransformation is not an event, it’s not a deployment weekend. It’s a process.\n

Practices and agile processes are wonderful. To make them stick, the change needs to come not only from these but also from inside every person who encounters agile. This is what makes the change long-lasting. It’s what makes it stick.\n\nSegue: Let me give you a model...\n

\nSegue: Let’s look at the essential transformation in other roles.\n
Testers feel like they are the “last in line” – development takes all the time and leaves them with none\nThis leads them to feel like victims – after all, they did see this problem coming all along, but didn’t have any way to affect change – they knew the requirements were wrong, whether it was the customer or the analyst who made the mistake\nNo one really listens to them….so they sit and wait, for the inevitable bad news at the end that they must deliver\n
Its great being the smartest person in the room – everyone admires you, wants to be like you, listens with rapt attention to everything you say – but as the great basketball player Michael Jordan learned, you can’t achieve greatness by just being great yourself - you must make other people better\n\nAs the Tech Lead transforms, they learn to take satisfaction in the achievement of others; they learn to mentor effectively, to create overall boundaries to ensure technical integrity without making most of the decisions themselves\n
\n\n
\n
The good news is that we are joined together. Just as we speak of team spirit, so too we can sense a spirit of our organizations: we might call it being in tune with the Tao of our product line, or the Tao of Ericsson. When we allow our own deep transformation, we join with others in their transformation, and everything changes. \n
The voice of scrum says...\nIf you have been awakened at all then I urge you....\nDo not go back to sleep\nWe have much work to do, much progress to make\nWe have many accomplishments to see come true and a joy to recapture\nThroughout all this change, be like the dance, flowing with whatever music is playing.\n\nOpen your heart and mind to your friends, your colleagues, your customers.
