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

  • 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.
