Actual Agile through Real Empowerment

Full Scale agile emphasizes the two principles of the Agile Manifesto most ignored by self-proclaimed “Agile” companies, coaches, and consultants: those about “self-organizing teams” and “trust them to get the job done.” An Agile process handed down from above and enforced across all teams misses the point—or purposely ignores it.

FuSca recommends allowing teams to create their own methods, and shows you how to coordinate across them. However, it also shows those teams who want to start from known methods how to adopt Kanban or Scrum and then to customize freely through experimentation. The FuSca approach to each method is informed by decades of research on teamwork also ignored by most Agile coaches.

The Pillars of Radical agile

Drawing of a temple columnDrawing of a temple column
Agile was nothing new.

Agility applies to all work.

Don’t train to be agile; practice it.

Don’t hire agile experts; train them.

You don’t need a framework to be agile.

Adopt, then adapt—not the other way around.

A team with a full-time organizer is not “self-organizing.”

You cannot predict the future, so don’t waste time trying.

An agile manager must give up control.
