It's the People, It's All About the People

As organizations transition to agile, they often notice "people problems" not previously seen in their traditional project structures. Agile team members lose patience with each other. Some team members, rather than moving toward becoming generalists, specialize even more. Managers fail to let go of perceived control and don't collaborate. Team members fail to develop good interviewing skills, so they can't offer valuable insight-and they don't like the candidates who are hired. Join Johanna Rothman to discover approaches for addressing your team's and organization's people issues directly. You'll build powerful teams that know how to self-organize and enable managers to let go of what they can't control. Explore the critical coaching skills and feedback loops you need to lead an agile team. Learn about the barriers to sincere collaboration and practice new ways to break down those barriers. To enable your full participation in the hiring process, you'll begin developing new interviewing practices and ways to share constructive feedback on candidates.
