During an enterprise agile transformation, the HR department insists on annual performance reviews tied to individual output. How should a DA Coach address this?
Answer: Work with HR to evolve performance systems toward team-based and growth-oriented feedback
DA coaches work collaboratively with HR to evolve supporting systems like performance management to enable rather than undermine team-based agile work.
In DA's transformation approach, what does 'GCI' (Guided Continuous Improvement) mean for an enterprise coach?
Answer: Using DA's process goal toolkit to help teams identify and experiment with better practices
GCI means the DA coach uses the process goal toolkit as a guide to help teams identify options and experiment, rather than prescribing specific practices.
An enterprise is transitioning from a project-based funding model to a product-based funding model as part of their DA transformation. What is the PRIMARY benefit?
Answer: Enabling continuous investment in long-lived teams aligned to business outcomes
Product-based funding enables continuous investment in stable teams, reducing the overhead of project start/stop cycles and improving business alignment.
Which DA concept addresses how enterprises should handle the tension between moving fast and maintaining technical quality?
Answer: Disciplined DevOps
Disciplined DevOps in DA bridges development speed with operational reliability, quality, and sustainability through automation and collaboration.
A large retailer wants to implement DA but is concerned about disrupting stable, revenue-generating systems. Which transformation pattern best fits?
Answer: Strangler fig pattern applied incrementally while maintaining existing systems
The strangler fig pattern allows incremental transformation by building new capabilities alongside existing systems, reducing risk to revenue-generating operations.
In a DA enterprise transformation, when should the transformation backlog be prioritized?
Answer: Continuously, based on emerging organizational learning and changing business priorities
DA's empirical approach requires continuous reprioritization of the transformation backlog as the organization learns what is actually working.
What does DA's 'Optimize Flow' goal mean at the enterprise level?
Answer: Reduce end-to-end cycle time from idea to customer value across the value stream
Optimizing flow at the enterprise level means reducing the time from idea to customer value across the entire value stream, not maximizing local team output.
