Definition of self-organization

[Roxenborn]

Är det detta vi menar med self-organization?

When a Team is self-organized, the Team determines how it’s going to do its work within the constraints the Business has given it. The Organization may have rules, standards, and procedures that affect how work is done, and the Team can’t violate them. However, the Team should feel free to do whatever seems necessary within these constraints. The term ‘self-organized’ could lead you to believe that each person determines what he or she should do, but that isn’t what this means. It means that the Team frequently re-organizes itself for the work at hand – no one from outside the Team tells them how to do their work. It’s not about individuals independently deciding what they will do – that would be anarchy – and that’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about the Team changing the way it does work, based on the work it’s doing. In other words, the Team is self-managing; overseeing its own internal workings, rather than being told from external management what to do and when to do it. External management does exist in the form of directing the Team as a unit through the prioritizations in the Backlog. In this sense, the Team is self-organized and self-managed, but not self-directed. The Team figures out the ‘how’ and ‘who,’ but not the ‘what’ or the ‘why’ – those are supplied by the Product Owner through working with the Business Owner and Stakeholders.>

Vissa delar håller jag med om men jag håller INTE med om följande:

• External management does exist in the form of directing the Team as a unit through the prioritizations in the Backlog.
• The Team figures out the ‘how’ and ‘who,’ but not the ‘what’ or the ‘why’ – those are supplied by the Product Owner through working with the Business Owner and Stakeholders.

Känns ju verkligen som att vi 2025 inte sitter med Scrum. Även om scrum inte hindrar att man har många deployer/releaser i en sprint osv. Men just begränsningen på att bara lyfta in det man kan klara under 2-3 veckor som styrs av en product owner genom prioritering, känns ju ganska långt från dit vi vill med självorganiserade team.

Dock ska jag tillägga att jag inte riktigt funderat kring hur det praktiskt skulle fungera när vi väl är framme.

Hur verksamhetstjänsterna väljer att arbeta är upp till dom. Personligen kommer jag aldrig förorda Scrum framför något mer flödande ;-)
