Management reporting is part of Planning & Control, and supports centralized control. Status and progress reports help us to be ‘in control’ of what is planned. Agile methods, on the other hand, focus on increasing adaptability through more interaction, less big upfront designs and delegating decisions to self organizing teams.
Agile and control are therefore in the core in conflict with each other. And, as logical result of that, the interface often results in irritations between individuals and departments. Think of a self-managing team that believe they no longer have to report progress KPI’s. It is remarkable that professional Scaling Agile frameworks such as SAFe, NEXUS and LeSS only pay sparse attention to the tangible problem. Gurus, consultants and authors also avoid this less sexy topic. A pity, because with Agile methods, the P&C can be organized even more effectively, making risks more manageable. Agile and control reinforce each other if they are properly equipped. How? Structural solutions lay in the ‘Agile in Control Framework’.
Your resultFrom spectator to protagonist. After this training you are able to bridge the gap between Agile and Control. The theoretical framework provides you with the proper arguments to effectively manage discussions towards collective solutions.
