Basic Information
Manager in an agile company? Oxymoron?
Implementing agile practices doesn’t necessarily mean there must be a radical change in organizational roles. It certainly doesn’t imply that management is unnecessary, despite team self-organization.
The manager’s role acquires new possible dimensions when collaborating with agile teams. Team self-organization, transparency, and continuous constraint resolution allow the manager to focus on aspects of people leadership and their development.
In an agile environment, the manager takes care of the company’s system. They tackle global issues, help teams find means for effective functioning, and create an environment for intensive collaboration and product delivery.
