Where do we start?

• Identify “sub cultures” aligned with Agile culture

• Look at Problems as point of improvements

• Try two patterns

• “Test the waters”

• “Do it”

Page 25: Company culture slides

Rules of thumb

• Don’t try to explain logically why Agile works

• Practices are a means to an end

• Ask for help

• Iterate and evolve

Page 26: Company culture slides

Control Culture

• “Self organizing team” is not appealing

• “Planning” could be a good starting point

Page 27: Company culture slides

Collaboration Culture

• It’s easier to deal with :)

• Agile Manifesto values are a good starting point
