subject line, so I can collect, list and answer your
questions on the next call.
2.We ended the Call#1 with a suggestion that every one
participating examine these docs:

CALL #2 Details
=================================
Questions that have come in from Call#1 are listed below.
There are many interesting questions.
I plan to answer them on the next call on 10/28.
Senders of questions are not listed in the data.
I disclose these questions so you can see what is
happening, and decide if you want to opt-in to the call.
The questions form the rough agenda; there will be a brief
review at the start.
You can use Call#2 as your entry point; there is no
requirement to have been on Call #1 to participate in Call#2.
If you are new to the topic, consider examining the links
Agile-related links (above) to get oriented before the call.
Q. About Open Agile Adoption:
If the facilitator for the 1st OS is external to the
organization (neutral as oppose to an on-going 'coach'),
why can that person not also facilitate the 2nd
OS? ...granted that it is also a good idea to pass on the
learning of opening space to someone internal if they can
play comfortably that neutral role among their peers.
Q. the question I have is about roles.reading the scrum.org
<http://scrum.org> site, i see different trainings for
different roles. it would be helpful to get a sort of
program, cuz i can't tell the players without a program.
there are a bunch of folks sitting at computers, writing
code, cobbling code, etc. there's some project owner.
there are users. and some others in between. would help
to know something about sizes of groups, training required
for different roles, languages used, and these sorts of
details.
I Q. I struggle with the notion that "agile has become
*mainstream*, while at the same time has a "85% failure"
rate - on the face of it this seems like folly - why would
any company want to adopt agile with such a poor track record?
·Q. In the case of OAA where there has already been an
attempt to adopt agile (rescuing an adoptation), training
in agile (scrum etc) will already have taken place, but in
the case where a unit goes straight into agile via OAA
(straight adaptation), when does the training take place?
Before the first Open Space, or between the two OS event
(as part of liminality)?
·Q. I was a little perplexed by the comment you made on
OSList about there being more ways to fail with Open Space
in agile adoptions than to succeed, this seems to put OST
on a danger list. Put differently, it seemed to suggest
that there is just one right way to run OST to be
successful while there are many wrong ways -- what is not
clear to me is what is that right way?
·Q. In our last teleconference you talked of "proceedings",
but it was not clear to me what you meant by that (OS
proceedings, agile proceedings, other)?
·Q. At the last teleconference we also established that the
follow up after the first OST event is critical for success
-- but how will the follow through be run, and more
importantly who will be responsible for this follow up?
(If it is the OST facilitator then I would have doubts as
to whether OST facilitators who are not also agile experts
are really suitable for OAA.)
·Q. If agile adoptions fail because they are mandated by
senior management, and if we manage to turn this around
with your suggested OAA approach using OST, this will
surely also involve a certain degree of transformation
within senior management ranks (indeed it may lead to a new
kind of resistance at the top). This in turn could lead to
a negative perception of OST itself. Would you like to
comment?
oI say this because I see a parallel problem in lean
adoptions which also often don't bring about expected
results. In lean this may partly be due to mandating, but
more often to either treating lean purely as a technical
tool (rather than a whole system) without the equivalent
Japanese attention to empowering the humans behind the
system, or to very poor support and commitment to lean from
senior management. This leads to lean being run more like
an add-on application rather than a whole new operating system.
