"[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:

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.
