\"\"<\/a> What about the team?<\/p>\n

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools. This basic core value stated in the Agile Manifesto implies so much it’s hard for\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 anyone to totally grasp it.\u00a0 As an Agile coach I owe it to myself and to my clients to properly understand this value and do my best in\u00a0\u00a0 helping teams and organizations apply it.\u00a0 But how can we achieve an efficient level of interactions that is high in value?<\/p>\n

I don’t impose a lot of conditions to organizations who want to start a so called Agile project but there’s one where negotiation is not\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 possible : Having a team.\u00a0 Not a group of individuals working for the same manager but a team of professionals aiming for the same goal.\u00a0 If this can not be appreciated by the organization, I see no need to go any further.\u00a0 It’s the foundation to any successful I.T. project!\u00a0 And forget about\u00a0 moving on to the \u201cworking software\u201d, \u201ccustomer collaboration\u201d and \u201cresponding to change\u201d values without a solid team.<\/p>\n

I enjoy taking it one step further by creating a team where the frame of mind is one of a small company.\u00a0 While respecting the fact that team members are proud to be working for their employer (at least I hope\u00a0 they are), they need to create this small company feel and understand that THEY are responsible for the failure or success of THEIR project. With this philosophy in place, rich, open and honest interactions become essential.\u00a0 Of course this doesn’t happen over night and a team needs to move through those well known \u201cForming, Storming, Norming and Performing\u201d stages.<\/p>\n

If you want your project to succeed, you need individuals that are able to interact efficiently. Efficient interactions happen when individuals are aiming for the same goal, trust each other and are accountable for their success.\u00a0 Put together a team of competent, cross-functional professionals, allow them to reach a performing stage and there’s not much they can’t achieve.\u00a0 Oh!
