Organizational Design and Culture

scrum.org

Description

Traditional organizations are often structured around Taylorism and mass production concepts in response to simple problems. Complex problems require a different way of organizing. This Focus Area describes the fundamental differences of an agile organization; namely its structure, culture, and design. A practitioner will understand what an agile enterprise looks like and approaches for implementing the agile enterprise in a traditional organization. They will understand how to balance the needs for agility with the existing reality of traditional organizational structures.

Goals

• I know the fundamental differences of an agile organization.
• I know approaches for implementing the agile enterprise in a traditional organization.
• I understand how to balance the needs for agility within existing structures.
