Self–organising teams are a key component of all of the agile methodologies, but do teams and organisations know what they are actually letting themselves in for when signing up for things like Scrum? In my experience the definition of “self–organisation” is widely different from organisation to organisation, team to team and even individual to individual within a team. This leads to fear, sub–optimisation and in a lot of cases subversion of the principle such that teams are being directed to work in sprints or iterations. In this session, Geoff will share his experiences of self–organisation, the common characteristics that are required for self–organisation to work and how commonly these characteristics are found in organisations that say that are “doing agile”.
