Engineering Culture By Infoq

In this podcast recorded at Agile 2019, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Dave West, CEO of scrum.org about agile beyond software, the need for organisational alignment and how product ownership is a major inhibitor for many organisations because it is not done well. Why listen to this podcast: • Agile ideas are taking root beyond software development, in business areas and in complex engineering environments • The scope of agility is more than just delivering great product – it is delivering great product, getting great feedback, experimentation and learning • The large consulting firms have the relationships at the most senior levels to enable top-down change in organisations • Most software teams today are delivering relatively well, however there is misalignment between the delivery teams and the wider organisation’s ability to accept and release product to the market effectively • Good product ownership is incredibly hard and most organisations do product ownership very badly
