Overcoming Self-organization Blocks
This talk is about the group dynamics that may hinder self-organization in Agile teams, seen from a behavioral perspective, and about the ways to counteract these issues.
The concept of self-organization is strictly related to empowering the technical teams, which in turn may alter both the "vertical" dynamics (managers/teams) and the "horizontal" dynamics (teammate/teammate).
Resistance to these changes may therefore arise both in managers and in team members alike. The actual source of this resistance may be rooted in the mental habits of the people involved and may come from a latent blaming culture, from confusing guidance with command, from the fear of taking responsibility (becoming visible) or losing status (becoming invisible) and finally from a misalignment of the team with the organization's business goals.
We'll see some of the most common sources of resistance to self-organization, as well as techniques to loosen the blocking dynamics.
