However, the manager's role is often left undefined. The result is a widespread lack of clarity: managers unsure of their place, executives with misaligned expectations, and teams caught in the middle.
Ron Lichty, co-author of the book 'Managing the Unmanageable', delves into one of the most overlooked gaps in Agile adoption: the evolving role of the manager.
In this talk, Ron shares insights, anecdotes, and personal stories from decades of helping organizations make software development โhum.โ He reveals what happens when Agile frameworks skip past the managerโs role, leaving a vacuum for those outside the Scrum team but still critical to team success.In his talk "๐๐ผ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ ๐ฃ๐น๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ด๐ถ๐น๐ฒ? ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ ๐ฅ๐ผ๐น๐ฒ๐ โ, Ron explores:
