A Sneak Peek into the Book

Here are some examples of the valuable content you’ll find in the book:

• Q: How do you handle resistance to change within a team? A: Resistance to change is common in Agile transformations. I handle it by first understanding the root cause of the resistance, whether it’s fear of the unknown, lack of understanding, or past negative experiences. I then address these concerns through open communication, engaging my team members and stakeholders in the process to understand differences in perspectives. By gathering and understanding key stakeholders' perspectives, it is easy to meet them where they are and address the challenges in alignment with the overall business objective.
• Q: Can you describe a time when a project didn’t go as planned and how you handled it? A: In one instance, a project faced significant delays due to misalignment in stakeholder perspectives. I facilitated a working session to identify the root causes and gained stakeholder buy-in by ensuring that they all sign-off on an agreed way forward that resolved the misalignment. By improving our planning process and communication channels, we were able to get the project back on track and deliver value to the client.

These examples are just a glimpse of the depth and practical nature of the content you’ll find in the book.
