    Assessment of Agile Culture
    (Projektmanagement und Vorgehensmodelle 2019 - Neue Vorgehensmodelle in Projekten - Führung, Kulturen und Infrastrukturen im Wandel, 2019) Guckenbiehl, Pascal; Theobald, Sven
    Many software development teams are adopting agile methods like Scrum or XP, but these might not always be applicable, especially for teams outside software development. Nonetheless, every team might profit from adopting the agile mindset. However, teams need support in assessing and improving their current cultural agility. This work proposes a systematic process to enable such assessment and improvement in an effective way. Further, the approach makes use of a tool, which supports the evaluation of the team’s maturity regarding certain criteria derived from the agile principles. Both are demonstrated by examining an actual service desk team. The results are discussed and interpreted, leading to a set of specific suggestions for improvement. This demonstrates that regardless of the domain, teams can become more agile even without adopting agile methods, just by focusing on improving the culture.

    Is There a Blueprint for Building an Agile Culture?
    (Projektmanagement und Vorgehensmodelle 2017 - Die Spannung zwischen dem Prozess und den Mensch im Projekt, 2017) Küpper, Steffen; Kuhrmann, Marco; Wiatrok, Matthias; Andelfinger, Urs; Rausch, Andreas
    Establishing agile principles and values requires time becoming part of the organizational mindset. One approach is implementing selected agile methods first and waiting for the agile culture to emerge and mature. Nevertheless, it remains unclear if there is a way to improve the culture-building process by emphasizing factors that foster an agile culture. Research on factors that support a systematic development of an agile culture is rare. Hence, we aim to shed light on how an agile culture can be developed in a systematic way. To investigate approaches to initiate and stabilize a cultural change towards agile, we conducted a semi-structured interview with eight agile coaches. Our results comprise 50 factors that influence culture development. Furthermore, we identified two major phases of an agile transition. Even though different focal points are set, early and continuous management involvement is key to a successful transition. Nevertheless, our results do not indicate a generalizable blueprint-like approach for establishing an agile culture.
