HIGHLIGHTS The Agile Transformation in Pfizer Companies owning Agile processes Challenges in Agile Transformation Adding value as an Agile Coach Core values in building an Agile Team QUOTES Matt: “One pattern I've seen across multiple companies, the organization doesn't have the capability to do this stuff.” Matt: “Helping the organization own it, rather than just kind of have something installed on itself, that's the real hard work that coaches, Scrum Masters, and product people do.” Matt: “I try to work at the highest levels, I can't, at some point, you're gonna get frustrated, you're gonna get the resistance. So part of it is understanding how you deal with change.” Matt: “I think a lot of organizations suffer from a lack of psychological safety, organizationally, in teams.” Matt: “For leaders, managers, always be working on yourself first. You know, I realized how much I fail, and how much I want to improve. And so always be reading, always improving.” Learn more about Matt in the link below: Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/matthewphilip Website: mattphilip.wordpress.com/ Twitter: mattphilip If you enjoy The Agile Coach and interested in learning more, you can check us out in the Link below: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-agile-coach-llc
