10 Bitter Pills to Swallow About Agile for Leaders
1. Customers don't care if you're agile, waterfall or otherwise.
They care about their experience & that your product helps them. Focus on the quality and frequency of your interactions with customers.
2. It won't solve all of your problems.
Agile isn't a panacea. It'll just expose your problems quicker. The core of Agility is that it builds in feedback loops. It's up to you to learn from them and adjust from there.
3. Telling people, they have psychological safety isn't enough.
You need to demonstrate that people are ok to fail through action, not just words. Celebrate failure, be intentional about creating a safe environment.
