DESCRIPTION
It is now common to hear about IT organizations kicking off big Agile transformations. While there is a lot of training offered on how to improve the delivery process, culture change and mindset shifting, people are not prepared on how to shift their roles. In traditional environments, everyone has a clear job description that explains their function and what they should/shouldn’t do. In a functional role, it is clear from whom to receive the work and where to send it after a certain expertise/skill is applied. In Agile, all these roles change to “Agile Team member”. What does a Team member do? What is the job description for this role? How can someone use the previous skills and expertise under this new role? What University Degree do I need to be "Product Owner", one of the "3 Amigos", "On-Site Customer"? And why does everyone talk about collaboration?
