Management decides to set up a new project to exploit an emergent market opportunity. Management suggests using an agile approach that is currently working for another project.
What should the agile leader do next?
A.
Conduct a workshop for all key stakeholders to analyze the case and decide on the proper approach.
B.
Suggest an approach that was successful in a previous project.
C.
Accept the manager's suggestion and avoid unnecessary conflicts and delays.
D.
Work with the team to analyze the market opportunity and create a tailored agile approach if needed.
Customization: Tailoring the agile approach to the specific needs of the new project ensures that it is well-suited to address the unique challenges and opportunities.
Team Involvement: Involving the team in the analysis fosters a sense of ownership and commitment to the chosen approach.
Flexibility: This approach allows for flexibility and adaptability, which are key principles of agile methodologies.
Market Understanding: Analyzing the market opportunity helps in understanding the specific requirements and constraints, leading to a more effective project strategy.
Risk Mitigation: A tailored approach can better address potential risks and uncertainties associated with the new market opportunity.
Option A: Conduct a workshop for all key stakeholders to analyze the case and decide on the proper approach
Broad Focus: While stakeholder input is valuable, a workshop might lead to a broad and generic approach rather than a tailored one.
Time-Consuming: Conducting a workshop can be time-consuming and might delay the project initiation.
Option B: Suggest an approach that was successful in a previous project
Context Differences: What worked for one project might not necessarily work for another due to different contexts and requirements.
Lack of Customization: This option does not consider the unique aspects of the new market opportunity.
Option C: Accept the manager's suggestion and avoid unnecessary conflicts and delays
Potential Misfit: The suggested approach might not be the best fit for the new project, leading to suboptimal results.
Lack of Analysis: This option bypasses the critical step of analyzing the specific needs and constraints of the new project.
after long thinking, I reached A is better.
The difference between A and D are as follows, but A fit more for this case
-conduct workshop (Option A) or discuss team internally (option D)
-choose an approach (if needed or find one measure)
reason: for making product vision, need stakeholders (it doesn't finish team internally).
point of methodology choice, option-A covers sprint length and other conditions so maybe it will be more flexible than option-D (if needed)
The agile leader should facilitate a workshop with all key stakeholders to:
* Analyze the market opportunity and understand the project's goals and objectives
* Identify the project's unique challenges and constraints
* Discuss the pros and cons of different agile approaches
