This workshop is for everyone who uses the Agile/Scrum Team Survey. It's a pioneering tool to help teams improve where it matters most. It's your evidence-based companion for continuous improvement, highlighting performance patterns on multiple levels and illuminating how to move forward.
How does this help your team?
Organizations and their teams use Agile/Scrum because they hope it can help them become more effective. Think of delivering value to customers sooner by releasing early & often, decreasing cycle time and lead time, improving team morale, lowering the number of defects, optimizing return on investment, and increasing innovation rate.
Working effectively with Agile/Scrum requires strategy. Strategy is essentially no more than a goal, followed by a series of actions required to achieve that goal as well as the players who need to be involved.
How is the team going to collaborate to achieve the Product- and Sprint Goals? How will they improve over time? What strategy guides the release of a product? How does management interact with the teams? How will the organization as a whole work and grow successfully with Agile? It’s all about strategy.
This paper contains a description of the concept Strategy Knotworking. Strategy Knotworking is a coherent set of Liberating Structures that aims to involve and engage everyone in developing and evolving sustainable strategies. Frequently use Strategy Knotworking to help teams improve over time, and to turn ambitions and ideas into reality.
Use this paper to design your own Strategy Knotworking workshop. If you need support, always feel free to reach out. We’re happy to explore the opportunities to run this workshop at your organization or to connect you with one of our partners.
