Becoming effective in your agile role requires training, understanding, empathy, and the correct mindset. Here are just a few practical examples of how agile managers operate within an agile environment:
Highlight issues and ask the right questions. If the team expresses an interest in the topic being raised or the issue being addressed, offer advice, or suggest solutions. Work collectively with the team to decide a course of action.
If you’re working with a team that is new to agile and agile practices, consider how to best introduce them to the framework. Do you throw them into the deep-end, so to speak, and address issues as they arise, or do you roll out one new practice at a time? Understanding which would be less time-consuming requires you to know the limitations and abilities of those involved.
If you see someone making a mistake, highlight the issue and suggest alternatives. Alternatively, if you recognize a mistake that has already been made, educate your team on how to avoid repeating it.
Build a reputation as a source of knowledge and advice. Encourage the team to come to you for guidance rather than having to seek out opportunities to offer advice. You shouldn’t have to force change. Good agile managers teach teams to welcome change.
Teach developers to rely on client feedback. Find new ideas and new sources of information that can help teams gauge and assess their work.
Plan your growth within your role. Pursue continuous improvement by creating a regular system of feedback on your own performance.
Connect with others that you can learn from, be it trainers, coaches, or mentors. Use this experience as leverage, pass it on freely and use it to demonstrate your value as an
agile project manager
. You need to embody agile values and show others ‘how it’s done,’ so that they can follow your example.
