If your organization requires success before commitment, it will never have either.
~ Seth Godin
A la suite de mon article sur High Performance Tree Lyssa Adkins m'a fait le plaisir de le poster sur son site et de lui donner une publicité par le biais de son mail hebdomadaire "inspiration for Agile coaches" envoyé aux "alumni" (anciens élèves) de sa formation.
Une occasion pour moi de partager avec vous l'inspiration du jour.
Dear Jean-François,
...
Success before commitment...the chicken and the egg. I am reminded of this quandary when people say, "We have been talking about colocating for about a year now and people just don't see what they'd get out of it, so we're still in our cubicles."
Of course you don't see what you're going to get out of it until you DO IT. People need to commit, at least to an experinemt for a sprint or two, to see the benefits for themselves. Standing back demanding to know what success is guaranteed to occur before we try is a sure way to keep the cube walls up. (And many other walls up, some thicker and taller than cube walls)
This is true about anything in agile: It's only an experiment, and we will inspect the results.

Thanks for sharing, Jean-François.
