It's not an Agile story by Karthik Kamal Balasubramaniam

Having worked with multiple Agile teams, I realize that most problems the teams have to deal with are often related to issues that are beyond the scope of any Agile framework. These issues are often related to people and the surrounding eco-system. The success of any Agile implementation is largely dependent on this H(uman)-factor which is intrinsic to any team/organization. This H-factor has always been a pandora's box, that we would like to avoid owing to the amount of complexity and the uncertainty involved. Here is my humble effort to try and identify few common traits that I have observed with people across Agile teams and organizations. The idea here is not to stereotype people, but to present an approach/strategy to accommodate different kinds of people in an Agile eco-system. In this talk, I would like to present 5 characters in a fictional story and the various strategies I have adopted to coach them. After all one size doesn't fit all!
