Description

Lean-Agile Mindset:

Course objectives.

The Lean-Agile Mindset is the combination of beliefs, assumptions, attitudes, and actions of Agile leaders and practitioners who embrace the concepts of the Agile Manifesto and Lean thinking. It’s the personal, intellectual, and leadership foundation for adopting and applying Agile principles and practices.

Agile has proved to be effective in reducing development cycles, drastically improving quality, eliminating silos within the teams, and making project management easier. However, when we consider the issues agile teams face on the field, some new challenges are emerging:

1. Making the right products
2. Delivering more at the end of each iteration
3. Learning how to better collaborate with the other departments

Agile community is constantly exploring and trying out new ideas. Learning Lean can lead to spectacular results in various domains, reason why combining both Skilltec Program can offer a huge opportunity. Lean and Agile are perfectly compatible but very different in nature. Lean is not a process, or a toolbox for improving processes, but a management practice that individuals develop along the years.

Agile strengthens the collaboration and communication between the stakeholders of the project, and creates and environment that helps the teams do a better job at an acceptable pace. This aspect is very close to Lean’s “Respect for people”. But Lean goes a lot further with the notion of training. Lean believed that the waste we see every day in our organizations is a result of our misconceptions. In Lean, investing in skills development and improving everyone’s capacity of judgment is the key to success !

Indeed, Lean is a set of practices and exercises aimed at developing people skills:

• The problem solving approach based on the “Plan-Do-Check-Act” cycle helps clarify one’s thinking in order to, first, choose the right problems, and second, take decisions based on facts rather than on beliefs.
• The two pillars – Just-in-Time and Jidoka – define standard types of problems that people need to solve constantly to improve their skills: work together at the right pace and do everything right the first time.
• Writing standards and performing continuous on the job training helps accelerate skills development and spread the know-how, be it at team level or companywide.

These practices perfectly fit in the agile world.

Lean helps develop kaizen on a daily basis, one problem after the other, to make sure that everyone, every day, contributes to the improvement. It is based on a different approach to visual management, the Obeya model, that aims at making problems visible to drive the team to constantly collaborate in order to solve these problems.
