A story about agile As agile methods spread to all of Systematic’s software development teams, Michael Holm began to worry that his leadership team was hindering progress. The agile development teams were doing things differently, while the management team was stuck doing things the same old-fashioned way - moving too slowly and relying on too many written reports that were out-of-date.
So Holm decided to run his leadership team as an agile team. The team eliminated more than half of reports, increased attention to customer satisfaction, began having daily 20-minute stand-up meetings to discuss 1) what people did the day before, 2) what they would do that day, and 3) where they needed help. Other functions - including HR, legal, finance, and sales, now operate like this. https://hbr.org/2016/05/embracing-agile
