DESCRIPTION
In today's modern era driven by Technology and Innovation, organizations can only survive if they are swift and agile; and have the capability of learning and adjusting rapidly.
Organizations have become cognizant of this and have introduced Agile methodologies in their Operations to allow them to quickly react to rapidly changing environments. One problem faced in implementing Agile methodologies has been the cultural difference, which arises when resources from different countries are involved. Successful Agile implementations have adjusted their practices to include the aspect of cultural sensitivity.
However, this is much easier said than done, as "Cultural Scripts" vary in every society. This business framework on Global Agile Implementation and Local Culture Considerations discusses in detail 3 key challenges that impede Global Agile Development Implementation in diverse cultures and suggests ways to overcome them:
1. Maintain Flexibility & Speed – Agile stresses preserving flexibility and speed. Some Cultural Scripts align with this practice, but may overdo it if not given a proper framework to operate within.
2. Build an Agile Team – Agile practices are geared around people—and Agile teams are supposed to organize themselves with members from various functions. Cultural Scripts may also accentuate communication patterns that could hamper the uninhibited movement of information between team members.
3. Create Communication Channels – Free-flowing and continuous communication is key and critical to Agile practices. When Agile methodology is adopted on projects involving people from outside U.S., interpersonal communication gaps may occur due to different cultural contexts.
For each of these challenges, this framework presents 2 tactics we can leverage to overcome the challenge.
The PowerPoint presentation on global Agile implementation and local culture considerations also includes some slide templates depicting Cultural Challenges of Global Agile Implementation for you to use in your own business presentations.
