After the first program delivery, the honeymoon period is over, and the original goals start to become blurry. Silos emerge with serious consequences: multiple backlogs that aren’t aligned, deliveries are delayed, risk increases, and people no longer feel responsibility for the program’s overall success. Agile governance and ways of working decline and old waterfall habits sneak in due to the need to “get back in control.”

We start by listening and learning to gain understanding. Then, we bring key people together to get insights, remove impediments, and re-plan the potential program releases using Agile means to govern. By involving and engaging people across program areas as well as customers, we create a common understanding, a common plan, common overview and common ownership.
