Transformation Guidance

Transformation Guidance

We all want to respond quickly to changes in the marketplace. We all want to increase customer satisfaction. Logically, you want your organization to do that even faster, better and more enjoyable. But predictability and grip are also important, right? You will only get there with the full commitment of creativity and energy of all employees. Choose Transformation Guidance with Scrum Academy and you are the one who sets it all in motion.

We combine the best of Agile, Scrum and Lean to accelerate your transformation. With that transformation approach, you look at your organization and customer value with fresh eyes. Teams learn to work together in an intensive and effective way. This stimulates creativity, team spirit and job satisfaction.

Your organization requires customization

Your organization is unique. Your market is different. The demand is specific. The teams diverse. So every transformation requires its own program. And so there is no standard plan of action. That’s why we always draw up a customized program. The components covered in it:

• In-depth interviews to understand your situation
• Training Agile and Scrum essentials at the team level
• Establishing a team-level Product Backlog.
• Distributing Scrum roles at the team level
• Determine the rhythm of work at the team level
• Forming an organizational-level transformation team
• Coaching teams and starting up Guilds and Chapters
• Supervising management
• Aligning teams in the organization, for example, with PI planning events

You can expect these principles from us

Our collaboration is based on 3 effective principles

1. We start where the teams are now. We connect with the energy that is there, make direct contact and take collaborative steps.
2. We deploy only what is necessary. We don’t like to waste time and energy. If training is necessary, we provide it. Is it unnecessary, then we leave it.
3. We deliver value based on clear Agile Coaching outcomes below.

You can expect these principles from us

• More focus on delivering value by the organization and its teams
• Increase work happiness in teams and of individual members
• Good rhythm of cooperation in the team and between teams
• Fast delivery and continued learning from teams and organization
• Reduce work in progress and eliminate waste

Doing it before – Doing it together – Doing it yourself

Lead by example is our motto. We like to transfer our methods, because we enjoy creating enthusiasm in self-directed teams.

We like to make ourselves redundant as soon as possible. The teams then grow on their own. We believe in a model where people have influence on their work and in small steps get closer and closer to ideal ways of working. Then you start doing things because you want to do them. And not because you feel obliged to. This renewed energy is the prelude to the most important new habit: getting the best out of yourself and others.

Transformation Team

We form the transformation team with a delegation from the organization (Management, Product Owners, Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, formal and informal leaders). The transformation team creates a backlog together and works on the transformation in an Agile way. In this way, the team immediately sets an example for the entire organization.

Upon completion of our deployment, the Transformation Team itself is able to continuously advance the organizational change in increments.

Together with the Agile teams, our Agile Coaches work on the content of the Agile teams’ assignment. At the same time, we work on an entirely new way of collaboration and organization. First we take the lead, then we pull together with the teams and in the final phase we coach. This way, teams take ownership of what they do and how they do it.

Make transformation measurable and insightful

Together with management and with the teams, we make the transformation measurable. We set up dashboards with objectives & key results. This way it is always clear what you are working on, what the results are and where focus or control is needed. For this we use tools that we develop ourselves and make available to you.

More than 100 years of experience

Our Agile Coaches have combined over 100 years of experience and practical knowledge in guiding transformations. Because of the diverse backgrounds of the coaches, we can always make a good match in your domain or field of work. Scrum Academy has extensive experience in Finance, Retail, Human Resources, NGOs, Government, UX Design, Web Design, Healthcare, Science, Education, Engineering and Robotics.
