I do agre...Hi Christofer, <br />thanks for your comment.<br />I do agree the content of ScM work depends a lot from the specific context. And the picture you see is not meant to be exhaustive or to represent the only actions a ScM should do: it was just the result of a dicussion in a specific community of ScM belonging to a specific context.<br /><br />However the main message I meant to deliver was that being a great ScM is a fulltime job. And probably the better you get, the more you understand that you can have only one team.<br /><br />This feeling and experience is very much spread in the community.

And the work will be uniquely defined by the team’s intrinsic properties, the product being developed and the external context existing around the team.<br /><br />Hence, the relative content of a ScM's work will vary between different ScMs.<br /><br />/Christofer<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183261328767912610.post-3965934216072085652013-11-20T21:05:11.321+01:002013-11-20T21:05:11.321+01:00Hi Micke,

The problem that I see in India is it abruptly and suddenly got independence in 1947 after being ruled over for thousands of years. In 1947,people were clueless what's freedom is all about? So everyone interpreted freedom in his own way which is convenient to him. Hence social culture and moral values went for toss and results are horrible. Corruption, crime, dowry, male dominated society, Female Foeticide, drugs and alcohol, child labor, castism, riots based on cast and religion, burning public property, throwing garbage on road, no driving rules, adulteration in food items, rape, education and healthcare becoming lucrative & ugly business to loot people etc. I can go on and on. And people who work in offices see all of this this, read this, hear all of this every day. Now doing TRUE AGILE in such a society is like teaching rocket science to a bushman. Just impossible. It will take another 100 years at least for Agile to implement in true sense.Vinay Aggarwalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183261328767912610.post-45727810416637992662012-10-31T10:24:51.807+01:002012-10-31T10:24:51.807+01:00Thanks for your comment.

I am referring to the culture of those countries where people have absolutely no understanding of the word "responsibility" and "freedom". Where people are infected with notions of convenience, passing the buck, accepting no mistakes but I am always right is the attitude, see corruption deeply rooted in public life and that has infected the thinking genes so badly that people just want to achieve their self-centered goals by hook or crook be in professional life or public life - in such environment thoughts expressed in this blog may not work. And believe me, I do face this every day where as an Agile coach, on one side I am big fan of preaching all good things of Agile this and on other side, I realize people are simply not fit for agile and how would they be because they are borne and brought up in an environment of lie, deception, fight for petty things, full of ego and prestige, driving rash and blaming others for accidents, show off power and money, throwing garbage anywhere on road, no moral sense and no social rules, no social responsibility.....it seems next to impossible to teach Agile to people with this kind of backgroundAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
