Chemistry Agile Leadership

Lean & Agile at a globally operating chemical specialist

Initial situation

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 KEGON solution

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 was 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.

Results

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

The customer rated our collaboration as follows:

  • tailored solution,
  • put the customer at the center and valued them,
