Introduction

Forming Cross-discipline Agile Teams using a Competency Led Agile Team Design Framework

Content

Successful Agile Teams share two common traits, they’re empowered to determine how best to achieve their goals and consist of cross-discipline staff, where technical and commercial staff co-own, co-design, co-create and co-deliver and support the entire life cycle. Creating a cross-discipline agile team calls for the adoption of a Competency Led Agile Team Design Framework. 

The framework steers the organisation to:

  1. Extract from the business case and the high-level feature roadmap the next iteration of objective and key results

  2. Document the sections of the associated value chain

  3. Identify the core competencies needed within each of the main value chain stages

  4. Appoint the core Agile Team roles, including, a Product Owner, a Scrum Master and a small number of subject matter experts

  5. Work with the resource team to determine whether the competencies will be acquired (sourced) internally or externally

    1. Internally sourced:

    2. Externally sourced:

  6. Determine the level of engagement needed from the other supporting roles.

When considering the adoption of Competency Led Agile Team Design Framework, Monetical also recommends organisations consider the following activities:

  • Project to Product Line Organisational Structure Transition

  • Data Driven Objective and Key Results Product Backlog Prioritisation Mechanism

  • Setting Agile Team Allocation Limits to Reduce Staff Context Switching
