** I do not sell any framework or certificate **

Suitable for:

  • Product Manager / Product Owner
  • Director - Product Management
  • Director / VP - Software Product Engineering

After working with & coaching many software development teams, I feel the concerns faced by business stakeholders have not changed much for a long time.

This Gemba Walk is designed to address some common concerns of stakeholders like…

  • Stakeholders have poor visibility.
  • Low trust in the Release calendar.
  • Developers take Agile as a license for not publishing the Release Calendar.
  • Bookish adherence to Agile Framework, with little/no improvement in value shipping.
  • Teams minutely measure Output, but have no idea about measuring Outcomes.
  • Teams lack awareness about the big picture.
  • Teams lack outward focus.
  • Product Managers, Developers, & QA team work with a “we-and-they” mindset.

I have helped many stakeholders tackle these concerns by working with them & their teams.

I do this by…

  • Having 1-1 discussions with stakeholders.
  • Having 1-1 discussions with Developers/PO/TEs.
  • Having 1-N discussions with teams & stakeholders.
  • Talking to the team AT THEIR WORK LOCATION, to understand their work practices.
  • Carrying out assessment of their Inward Focus, Outward Focus, and Work Culture.
  • Helping them to decide and agree on a common End-Objective.
  • Helping them to decide on how to track progress towards their common End-Objective.
  • Helping them to define & effectively use Information Radiator.
  • Helping them to understand that doing Quality stuff is very cost-effective in the long run.
  • Helping them to grasp the essence of being agile and improving the market impact in a faster, better, and more enjoyable way.

What you should expect at the end...

  • Assessment report about your team's Inward Focus, Outward Focus, Business-Engineering cohesiveness, Engineering Practices, and Work Culture. The assessment report pinpoints improvement areas for your team.
  • Thoughts & ideas pop up very often while your team discusses their bottlenecks and the issues they face in their setup.
  • Customized Information Radiator to ensure "Single-Version-of-Truth", designed for your environment
