Chemistry Agile Leadership

Lean & Agile at a globally operating chemical specialist

The client actually only wanted to support their IT conference, which takes place twice a year, with the topic of Agile.

Instead, within 6 weeks we prioritized

  • prioritized the entire IT portfolioturned the conference into quarterly big room planning.Twice on site at the head office and twice remotely set up quarterly planning for the teams,

  • developed an employee into an RTE,

  • no Scrum teams introduced! Only introduced lean process optimization in line teams and coordination of cross teams with SAFe elements.

In addition, we have

  • conducted a feature and user story workshop and

  • deepened RTE coaching.

The customer rated the collaboration as follows:

  • added value created,

  • explained and taught a lot.

  • coordinated solution,

  • Customer placed at the center and valued,

  • employees convinced,

  • team approach was very good,

  • KEGON lives what it sells.

The following is planned for further cooperation:

  • systematization of know-how,

  • onboarding training for new employees,

  • coaching the team leads and the RTEs.

Our coaching covered the following aspects:

  • introduction of the Magic Estimation prioritization method for the backlog,

  • design and implementation of big room planning for each quarter,

  • transformation content of the SAFe® framework was designed and implemented in relation to customer needs.

The result was that prioritization gave the teams more focus on the right projects.
