communicate/
3. Have the ability to have two opposing
ideas in mind
4. Be within the system to change the
system
• Systems are like Russian Dolls. One
is nested in another.
• Teams are nested within a large group.
The group is nested under a larger
portfolio
• Each of the nested systems interact
and impact all the time
• Trying to change one area without
understanding the impact or the
influence will be futile
• One cannot create a new system from
scratch. New system should be built
on the existing system
5. Build Trust and Relationship before
Stand Up and Retrospective skills
Deterrence based
Knowledge based
Identity based
6. Work directly with Stakeholder who pays
money
7. Don’t escalate against
your own team
8. If you can’t change the system, you
will end up becoming part of the system
9. You are a doctor and listen to the
symptoms and prescribe the medicine
10. Practices are context dependent
Practices that
could work for one
team may not
work for the others
