In today's highly dynamic and unpredictable socio-economic context, companies need to be able to manage changes quickly and effectively, otherwise their final product or service may become outdated with respect to customer needs.


Traditional change management approaches that focus on

fundamentally in the planning of activities and in the control of execution, they are no longer efficient in supporting companies in the search for solutions to keep their processes and products updated, which forces them to seek new ways of working.


As a result of this new need, more flexible approaches to agile management have emerged in recent decades. Originally developed for the software industry, agile management is now increasingly recognized and adopted by other business sectors as well.


However, due to the specificities of different corporate environments and cultures, adopting agile management is a challenge and requires adjustments that demand investments of time and financial resources to become viable.

Organizations need guidance to make this transition, and have access to

specialized knowledge, as well as need alternative strategies for innovation and agility in order to increase their adaptability and remain competitive in the global market.


In the strategy adopted by organizations to implement agile culture, some

Practices are applied such as: identifying the appropriate profile for team members, implementing effective training on agility, so that the team can understand the principles, concepts and practices involved. It can also include training the team with workshops, online courses and the help of a specialized mentor, to guide the team and train employees, promoting a culture of collaboration and continuous learning.


Implementing management in companies can be facilitated by using various tools and practices. The most widely used is Scrum, which is an agile framework widely applied in development projects in various sectors. This tool emphasizes collaboration, communication and the interactive delivery of work increments.


I recently had the opportunity to lead a project to implement the agile methodology in a company, which aimed to identify and implement an agile framework that would make it possible to monitor and improve the quality and productivity performance in the company, using modern techniques, exchanging information with the operational teams, and monitoring the project stages in the company, observing and monitoring the progress in the execution of the project, carrying out the analysis and adjustments based on the data provided by the indicators.


To implement agile management practices in this company's activities, the

project was implemented in stages in its operational structure. The division into stages is a strategic approach that was part of the company's decision-making process to obtain

progressive benefits such as: improved communication, faster detection of

discrepancies, effective problem solving and greater flexibility in their

processes.


To facilitate the visualization of the results in the progress of the project, the OKR model was adopted, which is an acronym in English for Objectives and Key Results. In short, OKR is a methodology for breaking down goals based on the definition of objectives, facilitating the analysis of the results obtained through the monitoring of measurable indicators.


The results indicated by the OKRs throughout the implementation of this project always

pointed to a process of progressive and consistent improvement, where the goals

proposals were achieved within the established deadline. No

abnormality that could compromise the advancement of the teams' maturity in pursuit of the proposed goals. The sedimentation of the culture and the progressive gains in confidence, combined with the identification of new and best practices, facilitated by the correct use of the framework, will lead the teams' work to the desired results.


If you are interested in learning more about the details of this project, we can

carry out a diagnosis in your company to indicate the best way to implement the

agile methodology. Consult DMS Partners for more information, contact
