Participar o time no processo de discovery, decisões e execução (delivery) norteados por objetivos e medidas de avanço, que os farão reconhecer o valor e resultados com o tempo.

The Agile approach should be embraced as a mindset, with clear expectations and guidelines established before initiating any project. Senior team members must be actively involved during the planning phase to share their valuable inputs and insights. Interestingly, I came across an article today that argued Agile is "dead" due to the overwhelming number of processes and rules teams are now required to follow. This serves as a reminder that while structure is necessary, we must strike a balance to ensure agility and adaptability remain at the core of our approach. That said, I have the impression that we have never truly adopted Agile in its purest form

One size does not fit all and a hammer isn’t the right tool for every job. Agile has been around for a long time now so I would first want to understand why the resistance? Is a particular project more suitable for another method? Has the implementation of agile rules and structures got so restrictive that agile is no longer agile in that environment? Be open to hear the challenges.

Um den Widerstand von Senior Developers gegen agile Methoden zu überwinden: 1. Bedenken verstehen: Offenes Gespräch über ihre Gründe führen. 2. Vorteile aufzeigen: Nutzen und konkrete Verbesserungen erläutern. 3. Einbindung fördern: Sie aktiv in die Anpassung agiler Prozesse einbeziehen. 4. Schrittweise starten: Kleine Änderungen wie Stand-Ups einführen. 5. Erfolge messen: Positive Ergebnisse sichtbar machen. 6. Schulungen anbieten: Wissen und Vertrauen in agile Prinzipien fördern. 7. Flexibilität bewahren: Methoden auf Team-Bedürfnisse anpassen. Dialog und Anpassung sind der Schlüssel.

To address senior developers' resistance to agile, start by understanding their concerns. Have open conversations to uncover specific frustrations, whether it's about structure, pace, or processes. Highlight how agile can benefit their work—clearer priorities, faster feedback, and reduced rework. Involve them in adapting agile practices to better fit the team's needs, leveraging their expertise to refine processes. Share success stories from other teams to demonstrate tangible benefits and encourage buy-in. Treat their feedback as an opportunity to improve and iterate together. By fostering collaboration and showing flexibility, you can build trust and gradually ease the transition to agile.

1. Organize workshops e sessões de treinamento para explicar como os princípios e benefícios das metodologias ágeis podem melhorar a eficiência, a colaboração e a qualidade do produto final. 2. Inclua os analistas seniores no processo de implementação das metodologias ágeis desde o início. 3. Apresente resultados concretos alcançados por meio de práticas ágeis. 4. Peça feedback regularmente e esteja disposto a fazer ajustes necessários com base nas sugestões e preocupações da equipe. 5. Crie um sistema de mentoria onde analistas que já estão familiarizados e confortáveis com metodologias ágeis possam apoiar e guiar outros integrantes.

Instead of steamrolling we need to understand what is the reason for resistance as agile is not the mother of all solutions. Agile methods are typically used when the project nature is story oriented and the changes based on outcome . If the project can be clearly defined and the timelines can be measured well in advance waterfall is still better. Hence it is necessary to understand the reasons without any reactions. If they are resisting due to change management issues we need to opt as coach and explain the benefits due to that approach. In spite of all explanation if they still resist we may have highlight the decisions taken and make them to adhere.

Try to understand their concerns. Many companies are implementing poor agile practices or renaming their current practices with agile terminologies. Can you share bit more context of your current challenges?

Interesting. Clearly they are no longer valuing agile practices because things have become mundane and routine and they need to have to find their passion again by remembering the basics and why that process works best.
