Agile is hot! Kleine en grotere organisaties zijn bezig met het invoeren van agile, vaak met (grootschalige) veranderprogramma's die niet altijd tot succes leiden. Met een plan wordt je niet agile, dat gebeurd door daadwerkelijk te veranderen, door het te doen. De vraag is: Hoe kun je agile worden door agile te doen.
In one of my workshops I explored how to use agile and Scrum beyond software development, for example in marketing, sales, support and in management. I gave this workshop in-house for a client to an audience which was not directly involved in software development. Many good ideas came up when preparing and giving this workshop, in this post I'm sharing them with the agile community.

In my workshops I often play the impediment game with teams. In that game team members discuss impediments that happen during Scrum sprints or Kanban flows, and decide how to deal with them and who should solve the impediment. The "who" is most often "any team member". But in practice I see that teams struggle with impediments, and often expect the Scrum master or a manager to solve them. Let's explore what can be done to have impediments solved by Scrum team members.
