Kaizen retro excellence for Agile teams
Recalibrating the performance of retrospectives in Agile teams by implementing Kaizen practices
Service Description
The retrospectives are a key element of good Agile working. Before Agile, Lean cultivated the concepts of Kaizen (which in Japanese means a change for the better). Toyota exemplified the power of enterprises that continually improve themselves by staying at the top of the automotive industry for many decades. Services businesses and tech companies have generally struggled to build genuine momentum with Kaizen. We help solve this shortfall by regrouping the teams and teaching them disciplined Kaizen practices suited to the different contexts of services and tech. Format of the service: - Observation of the team dynamics during retrospectives, - Discussion with the team's leadership roles - scrum-master, product owner, lead engineer, etc. - Advisory review: assessments, visualisation of the work and improvements, measures of performance, known problems, etc., and development of such artefacts if they do not exist. - Renew the format of the retrospectives with the scrum-masters, - Visualisation tools and making use of those tools in the retrospectives, - Prepare and run a couple of retrospectives with the scrum-master, - Observation and feedback, - The service would completed once retrospectives have improved and can be self-sustained. Upon booking the service, we will discuss how we would meet the cadence of team sessions. We may run the service with multiple Agile teams. Complementing this service to establish a system-level operating model for improvements is worthwhile. Please book an initial call to discuss how to on-board this service.
