Room for improvement

Some of the recent adoption patterns Dodds has seen is people getting Scrum certified in two days, which he says is not enough, and engaging in training without turning the knowledge into practice and/or forgetting.

If you hire a coach, there is a tendency for them to be spread out too thin and they cant pay attention to everyone, he said.

When it comes to bottom-up skunkworks, or projects developed by a small and loosely structured team mainly for the sake of innovation, Dodds said there is no way that you can scale.

Some of the results Dodds has seen is people justifying existing behaviours with a new label, not getting different outcomes, and change being isolated to a small area.
