Alignment & Organizational Rhythms

Design Modern Governance Structures that Enable Autonomy

An agile team has a heartbeat and a rhythm in their meetings and conversations. And if agile, so does the whole organization. To enable our agile teams to succeed in their mission, some crucial conversations need to happen in a structured manner in the organization. This training will help you discover the heartbeat and rhythm that your organization needs to meet your goals.

Your trainer in this course is agile coach Jimmy Janlén, with an unique experience in helping modern agile companies such as Spotify, Kry/Livi, Tibber, and many more, to discover how to make agile work at scale, beyond the agile transformation. With many stories and examples, he shares what he has learned about modern governance structures and ceremonies.

Even though we have autonomous self-organizing teams – they won’t be able to succeed in their missions without support. They need mechanisms to continuously resolve dependencies and impediments, as well as guidance in prioritization and alignment.

In this one full day training, we will inspect the heartbeats of an agile organization. We will discover the essential conversations that need to happen to enable and empower our agile teams to succeed in their mission and in their contributions to our shared collective goals. We will also discuss what makes us slow, preventing us from experiencing the promised benefits of agile.
