It takes careful planning and preparation to successfully implement a new approach that connects every team within your organization and requires goals and objectives to determine success. On top of that, good agile leaders must be flexible and willing to give teams the space they need to bring agile to their existing work delivery management methods.<\/p>\n<p>Agile leaders play a major role in scaling agile successfully. Their role is to create an environment that facilitates creativity, thoughtfulness, and continuous improvement. But in order to do this, they need to first develop or enhance the skills necessary to become an effective agile leader.<\/p>\n<p>In this blog, we\u2019ll discuss two areas agile leaders can improve and focus to help their organization scale agile.

Understanding Agile and How It Works<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Remember, agile isn\u2019t a collection of rules to follow. It\u2019s an entirely different approach to work delivery. Everything from how features to stories to tasks are prioritized and assigned to the metrics that determine success is impacted. As such, it\u2019s important for you to <strong>understand agile<\/strong> before you apply it, regardless if it\u2019s at the team, program, or portfolio level.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, you need to become a great agile student. Learn as much as you can and continue to educate yourself, so you can understand:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your goals and objectives as an agile leader and how you\u2019re tracking against;<\/li>\n<li>How to manage teams using agile for their delivery; and<\/li>\n<li>What you should expect to get out of your team\u2019s performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Understanding the ins and outs of agile is essential for driving success across your organization. I recommend taking a look at <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.planview.com\/resources\/articles\/what-is-agile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this article touching on the history of agile<\/a> and how it\u2019s been applied in various industries as a starting point.<\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t stop there. Scaling agile requires continuous learning and understanding of <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.planview.com\/resources\/guide\/agile-methodologies-a-beginners-guide\/agile-best-practices-effective-teams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">its principles and best practices<\/a>. Learn how other organizations successfully implemented agile across their company.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What were some challenges they faced?<\/li>\n<li>How did they overcome those challenges?<\/li>\n<li>What elements helped them scale agile successfully?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for agile organizations that are getting it \u201cright,&#8221; Amazon is a great example. However, understand that Amazon was BUILT as an agile company. They didn\u2019t start as a traditional project management organization and shift to an agile organization, but instead embraced agile ways of delivery from the beginning and built the world\u2019s largest e-commerce company, <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.planview.com\/resources\/guide\/agile-methodologies-a-beginners-guide\/benefits-agile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">benefiting greatly from it<\/a>, and hiring agile leaders and talent that fits their model. Traditional, legacy enterprises now fear Amazon may take a leap into their space. And, because of how Bezos built Amazon, to be nimble and pivot to the market, it\u2019s increasingly possible. Ultimately, an agile leader should take the opportunity to learn from Amazon\u2019s success and figure out how to emulate within their organization.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a good idea to look at companies that <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/industries\/financial-services\/our-insights\/ings-agile-transformation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">struggled with scaling agile<\/a> because there are incredible learning opportunities here, as well. Some organizations start out on a journey and hit obstacles they cannot overcome and the transformation stalls. Others are set up so that they can handle the challenges and build from there. Essentially, organizations must have tangible goals and objectives to provide guardrails for their transformation. Without these in place, organizations have no idea if agile is working or not. Try to learn where they went wrong, so you can avoid similar setbacks in your agile transformation.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, as a leader, you should <strong>understand the why<\/strong> behind everything you\u2019re doing as it pertains agile. Don\u2019t just do agile to say you\u2019re doing it. Agile will fail with this mentality. Do agile with a purpose. That way, you\u2019re able to develop the problem-solving skills necessary to empower team members in the face of any challenge, rather than forcing them to follow traditional processes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Practicing_Agile_Thinking\"><\/span>2. Practicing Agile Thinking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Agile leadership moves away from the command-and-control leadership associated with traditional management. The successful agile leader doesn\u2019t instantly try to solve a problem or issue. They take the time to think about solutions, glean input from their peers and the team, and help provide a path forward that aligns to the organization\u2019s goals and objectives.<\/p>\n<p>Moving to an agile mindset is a common pain point that many managers face. It\u2019s natural for management to want to tighten the reigns in the event of a crisis, but this is contrary to agile\u2019s philosophy. In order to practice agile thinking, managers must understand that challenges and uncertainty often lead to incredible breakthroughs. They push team members to come up with innovative solutions, but those solutions wouldn\u2019t be possible without autonomy among those teams. Leaders unable to practice this manner of thinking face a greater likelihood of failure while scaling agile across their organization.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve looked at the importance of an agile mindset, let\u2019s review some of the key elements. Managers who solve problems with an agile mindset are more likely to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Help the value stream breakdown large features and stories for more predictable delivery.<\/li>\n<li>Innovate using customer feedback and market awareness.<\/li>\n<li>Understand how their work and the team\u2019s work aligns to the overall business goals and objectives.<\/li>\n<li>Pivot on a plan to make better decisions, rather than sticking to plan that doesn\u2019t have the desired outcomes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Moreover, an agile mindset places more value in outcomes rather than outputs. This means that employees and management should focus more on what\u2019s been achieved through value delivered. Time and people are fixed. Use wisely to provide customer-value not products that will sit on the shelf and gather dust.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/info.planview.com\/7-benefits-scaling-agile-_whitepaper_lad_en_reg.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10803 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/7-benefits-scaling-agile-750x200-BLOG.jpg\" alt=\"The 7 Benefits to Scaling Agile Whitepaper\" width=\"750\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/7-benefits-scaling-agile-750x200-BLOG.jpg 750w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/7-benefits-scaling-agile-750x200-BLOG-300x80.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Areas_to_Improve_Recap\"><\/span>Areas to Improve: Recap<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In today\u2019s competitive market space, organizations must incorporate agile throughout the enterprise.
