Flight Levels Day
Flight Levels takeoff checklist – Why enthusiasm alone won’t keep you airborne
Flight Levels Day 05 Talk by: Markus Schmotz, Rudolf “Ruedi” Gysi
Welcome to Flight Levels International Airport! Here you will find everything you need for a successful flight: runways (workflows), controllers (managers), passengers (teams) and airplanes (initiatives). But why do so many agile transformations still remain grounded?
Markus Schmotz and Rudolf use real-life examples to show the conditions that must be in place for flight levels to really take off – and why it fails when teams want to get into the cockpit enthusiastically but with an empty tank and no navigation.
We talk about the hard reality: shit in, shit out! – If the teams have only a low maturity level and you scale that... guess what happens. However, with the Kanban Maturity Model (KMM) there is a diagnostic tool that helps to start right here. If you want to get started with Flight Levels, you should first check whether the tower is working, the crew is trained and the fuel is sufficient.
Look forward to a humorous but hard-hitting analysis of why the best Flight Levels are useless if the basics are not right – and how to still achieve an agile high!
