Educate (or Re-Educate) External Stakeholders<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most common &#x2014; and also the most costly &#x2014; reasons why agile teams underwhelm instead of overachieve has to do with a lack of awareness; not among teams, but across external departments and divisions. They&#x2019;re still flooding agile teams with ongoing requests and change orders, and getting frustrated when their stuff isn&#x2019;t done &#x201C;yesterday&#x201D;. Helping these external stakeholders understand what agile is and how agile works &#x2014; and especially what it&#x2019;s not and how it doesn&#x2019;t &#x2014; benefits everyone.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Recalibrate_Internal_Team_Members\"><\/span><b>2. Recalibrate Internal Team Members<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Shifting from a conventional <a href=\"\/whats-difference-program-product-project-managers\"><strong>program and project management<\/strong><\/a> paradigm to an agile paradigm can be a culture shock for team members; especially if they&#x2019;re used to being virtuosos who essentially work on their own, or if they expect seniority or rank to earn them a more influential voice around the decision-making table. It&#x2019;s vital for these folks to understand that &#x201C;team&#x201D; is more important than &#x201C;agile&#x201D; &#x2014; because either everyone makes it to the finish line at the same time, or nobody does. Ideally, this re-education can be achieved through positive conversations and coaching. But if this doesn&#x2019;t work, then it&#x2019;s necessary to vote chronically toxic team members &#x2014; however skilled they may be &#x2014; off of the agile team island.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Establish_Both_Layers_of_Visibility\"><\/span><b>3. Establish Both Layers of Visibility<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Agile teams that punch below their weight class often believe that there is only one layer of visibility: team members seeing who&#x2019;s doing what and when. Obviously, this is essential. But there&#x2019;s another layer of visibility that is just as important: executives and the PMO seeing who&#x2019;s doing what and when. Without this second layer, agile teams invariably find themselves with too much work, or not enough work. Either way is a recipe for dysfunction.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Customize_the_Work_Experience\"><\/span><b>4. Customize the Work Experience&#xA0;<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many agile teams get frustrated because they can&#x2019;t replicate the success found in other enterprises (call it &#x201C;agile envy&#x201D;). However, this is often not a matter of effort or intent, but due to a lack of customization. Agile teams need to have the flexibility to personalize workflows to match their unique style. What works in one enterprise doesn&#x2019;t necessarily work in another.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Remember_to_Have_FUN\"><\/span><b>5. Remember to Have FUN!<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This last bit of advice is as old school as it gets, but has the power to re-ignite and re-invent agile teams that are dragging on the ground instead of soaring through the air: remember to have FUN! This means taking time off as a group to see movies, go bowling, paint pottery &#x2014; or anything else that has nothing to do with work, and which fosters a positive vibe. It also means taking time out during the hectic day to decompress and disconnect. Having a specially-designed &#x201C;100% work-free&#x201D; breakout space can help with this (especially if there&#x2019;s a popcorn machine and bean bag chairs!).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span><b>The Bottom Line<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adopting the advice above will dramatically and sustainably improve how your agile team functions and feels. When this happens, achieving &#x2014; or better yet, exceeding &#x2014; the group&#x2019;s full potential isn&#x2019;t just possible: it&#x2019;s inevitable.<\/p>\n<p><b>Planview AdaptiveWork Go is a simple and secure enterprise-grade task management solution that helps rescue and revive underperforming agile teams by accelerating results, encouraging success, and increasing alignment across the entire organization.
