Takeaways

Agile methodologies are effective in handling VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) situations.
Agile transformations are more successful when coaches collaborate as a team.
Complex challenges require diverse teams rather than relying solely on individual experts.
Recognizing and addressing personal biases can enhance collaboration among Agile coaches.
The Cynefin Framework helps in understanding and navigating complex environments.
A complex problem, like discovering ways to delight clients, is best solved by a cognitively diverse group of people that is given the responsibility for solving the problem, self-organize, and working together to solve it.
Agility is designed to mitigate the inherent risks of speculating in an uncertain space with methods such as discovering requirements by progressive elaboration rather than by pretending you can know all requirements upfront.
That will never work, agile coaches are way too much of divas to be able to work together.
