Cultural Scripts Impacting Agile Practices in Three Countries PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 27-slide Global Agile Implementation and Local Culture Considerations PowerPoint presentation, presents a comparative analysis of cultural scripts from 3 countries—China, South Korea, and India—within the context of Agile implementation. It aims to explore how local cultural norms interact with Agile methodologies, raising the question of whether these cultural scripts support or contradict Agile principles.

In China, 3 key cultural concepts are highlighted. "Guangxi" refers to reciprocal relationships that foster collaboration and trust. "Mianzi" emphasizes social standing and the importance of maintaining face in social interactions. The "Doctrine of the mean and harmony" advocates for avoiding confrontation, which may conflict with Agile’s emphasis on open communication and feedback.

South Korea's cultural scripts include "Palli Palli," which prioritizes speed and efficiency in task completion, suggesting a strong alignment with Agile’s focus on rapid iteration. "Jeong" reflects the importance of emotional bonds formed through repeated interactions, which could enhance team cohesion, but may also complicate direct feedback processes.

India’s cultural scripts present a more complex picture. "Jugad" embodies a resourceful approach to problem-solving, aligning well with Agile’s adaptability. "Social hierarchy" indicates a structured decision-making process that may hinder Agile’s collaborative spirit. "Apane log" emphasizes belonging to an in-group, which could influence team dynamics and communication styles.

The slide concludes with insights from employees about challenges faced when Agile practices diverged from these cultural scripts. This highlights the necessity for organizations to navigate these cultural nuances effectively to implement Agile successfully.
