Starting With A Metaphor
0101
@ELPEDROMAJOR | [email protected]
Purpose Of This Game• understanding the basic principles of the Agile
Culture and understanding behavior
@ELPEDROMAJOR | [email protected]@ELPEDROMAJOR | [email protected]
I don’t know. What would we
call it?
Hey Lamb, I was thinkin’ we should open a Restaurant.
@ELPEDROMAJOR | [email protected]
Briefly
the chicken only gives their eggs
Lambs have to put their flesh on the table

Personas & Behaviours
0102
Lambs• They are involved, engaged to
the project. In Scrum, it’s the purpose of the Scrum Team (Delivery Team, Scrum Master and Product Owner).
• They are committed to the work. They are working in a sheepfold with other lambs who love their work.
• When Agility is well set, they are all willing to put they « flesh-on-the-set » each day because they feel ownership of the work.
• They a re asse r t i ve and accountable for the success of the project and have a majority (if not all) of their performance goals linked directly to the success of the project and their specific Agile team.
@ELPEDROMAJOR | [email protected]
Chicken• They come and go on the
project.
• While chickens are mostly helpful, because they are contributing their eggs, they don’t always understand the full context because they are n o t a d e d i c a t e d t e a m member.
• So occasionally they may accidentally contribute a rotten egg.
• They are not accountable for the success of the project, although they may have a s m a l l p o r t i o n o f t h e i r performance goals linked to the success of the project.
@ELPEDROMAJOR | [email protected]
Foxes• They like to stealthily move
into and through the team seeing who has certain skills and ideas.
• Then they like to steal not only resources (Agile team members) for their own teams, but they also steal ideas.
• They are not necessarily negative, because they are o f ten so qu ie t in the i r manipulative work.
• They are dedicated to their own success.
@ELPEDROMAJOR | [email protected]
Seagulls• They like to fly around the
p ro j e c t a n d n o t r e a l l y contribute in any manner.
• They enjoy “talking” (mostly hearing themselves speak) and pretend they are adding value, but they are only annoying the lambs (Agile team members).
• Often, they like to swoop in so it can look like they are involved (and they’ll tell others this).
• They are often quite negative, squawk a lot in a “know it all” manner, and often poop on people and their ideas.
@ELPEDROMAJOR | [email protected]
Rats• They are deceiver types who
will use the trust of the team to gain insight into topics so they can then “rat” on what is going on to others.
• Often on Agile teams, they are really deceivers because they are really anti-Agile or just plain negative people.
• T h e y o f t e n k n o w t h e decisions that are made based on certain contexts that the team is in, but will twist the truth in order to bring the project down.
• It is important to identify these deceivers as quickly as possible and get them off the team.
@ELPEDROMAJOR | [email protected]
Cats
@ELPEDROMAJOR | [email protected]
• They are a lazy type on an Agile team that really do not pitch in but instead like to sleep instead.
• They are almost purposefully not assertive, have been used to just “getting by” on projects for years, and are not real ly interested in feeling ownership of the work.
• They t yp i ca l l y ne i t he r positive nor negative and simply like to be left alone.
• The other team members will begin to notice this behaviour and realise they are not really interested in becoming part of the team.
Bulls• They are command-and-
control types who think they can continue to tell their folks what to do even though they are dedicated to their Agile teams.
• Sometimes referred to as bullies, they charge right into the team and attempt to direct them to their own work and often deviate the team from building product functionality.
• Ty p i c a l l y, t h e y a re n o t interested in the Agile mindset because they see it as a challenge to their authority (technical or managerial) or don’t really understand or care about the business benefits of Agile, but instead want to maintain their own status.
@ELPEDROMAJOR | [email protected]
Shepherd Dog• And f i na l l y no f a rm i s
c o m p l e t e w i t h o u t t h e Shepherd Dog.
• However, on an Agile farm, it cannot be just any Shepherd Dog but instead a benevolent Shepherd Dog who is good to his animals and ensure the animals have what they need to grow and prosper.
• The Agile Animal Shepherd Dog encourages, inspires, a n d a l l o w s f o r t e a m a u t o n o m y a n d s e l f organisation.
