This story starts when, during an Agile transformation, Konstantin had to terminate engagements with external consultants he had been working with. Even if this was painful, and hard for Konstantin, the big issue was still to come. Over time, after the consultants left, he realized that the teams were not ready to make decisions on their own. In this episode, Konstantin emphasizes that teams often waste time seeking unanimous agreement. Konstantin talks about the need to embrace the concept of "disagree and commit." Konstantin introduces the concept of resistance voting as a means to expedite decisions without excluding any team members’ perspectives.
In this episode, we refer to the scaling framework LeSS.
