Recap of Call#1 on 10/05/2013:
1.On Call#1, I suggested that the participants (new and existing)
send questions with the text "[AgileOST]" in the subject line, so
I can collect, list and answer your questions on the next call.
2.We ended the Call#1 with a suggestion that every one
participating examine these docs:
www.agilemanifesto.org <http://www.agilemanifesto.org>

https://www.scrum.org/Scrum-Guides

CALL #2 Details
=================================
Questions that have come in from Call#1 are listed below.
There are many interesting questions.
I plan to answer them on the next call on 10/28.
Senders of questions are not listed in the data.
I disclose these questions so you can see what is happening, and
decide if you want to opt-in to the call.
The questions form the rough agenda; there will be a brief review
at the start.
You can use Call#2 as your entry point; there is no requirement
to have been on Call #1 to participate in Call#2.
If you are new to the topic, consider examining the links
Agile-related links (above) to get oriented before the call.
Q. About Open Agile Adoption:
If the facilitator for the 1st OS is external to the organization
(neutral as oppose to an on-going 'coach'), why can that person
not also facilitate the 2nd OS? ...granted that it is also a good
idea to pass on the learning of opening space to someone internal
if they can play comfortably that neutral role among their peers.
Q. the question I have is about roles.reading the scrum.org
<http://scrum.org> site, i see different trainings for different
roles. it would be helpful to get a sort of program, cuz i can't
tell the players without a program. there are a bunch of folks
sitting at computers, writing code, cobbling code, etc. there's
some project owner. there are users. and some others in
between. would help to know something about sizes of groups,
training required for different roles, languages used, and these
sorts of details.
I Q. I struggle with the notion that "agile has become
*mainstream*, while at the same time has a "85% failure" rate -
on the face of it this seems like folly - why would any company
want to adopt agile with such a poor track record?
·Q. In the case of OAA where there has already been an attempt to
adopt agile (rescuing an adoptation), training in agile (scrum
etc) will already have taken place, but in the case where a unit
goes straight into agile via OAA (straight adaptation), when does
the training take place? Before the first Open Space, or between
the two OS event (as part of liminality)?
·Q. I was a little perplexed by the comment you made on OSList
about there being more ways to fail with Open Space in agile
adoptions than to succeed, this seems to put OST on a danger
list. Put differently, it seemed to suggest that there is just
one right way to run OST to be successful while there are many
wrong ways -- what is not clear to me is what is that right way?
·Q. In our last teleconference you talked of "proceedings", but
it was not clear to me what you meant by that (OS proceedings,
agile proceedings, other)?
·Q. At the last teleconference we also established that the
follow up after the first OST event is critical for success --
but how will the follow through be run, and more importantly who
will be responsible for this follow up? (If it is the OST
facilitator then I would have doubts as to whether OST
facilitators who are not also agile experts are really suitable
for OAA.)
·Q. If agile adoptions fail because they are mandated by senior
management, and if we manage to turn this around with your
suggested OAA approach using OST, this will surely also involve a
certain degree of transformation within senior management ranks
(indeed it may lead to a new kind of resistance at the top).
This in turn could lead to a negative perception of OST itself.
Would you like to comment?
oI say this because I see a parallel problem in lean adoptions
which also often don't bring about expected results. In lean
this may partly be due to mandating, but more often to either
treating lean purely as a technical tool (rather than a whole
system) without the equivalent Japanese attention to empowering
the humans behind the system, or to very poor support and
commitment to lean from senior management. This leads to lean
being run more like an add-on application rather than a whole new
operating system.
