Abstract

Agile refers to a work management ideology with a set of productivity frameworks that support continuous and iterative progress on work tasks by reviewing one's hypotheses, working in a human-centric way, and encouraging evidence-based learning. In practice, public administrations have started to use agile principles and methods to plan projects, work in short sprints, iterate after receiving feedback from stakeholders, and apply a human-centric approach to arrive at prototyped solutions. To understand the opportunities and challenges public servants perceive when they are asked to apply agile work practices, I conducted focus groups to study the social affordances of agile governance that need to be in place for public servants to adopt an agile mindset and its related practices. As a result of the exposure to agile work practices, public servants are either able to perceive its affordances and are willing to adopt agile, they falsely perceive them or they even remain hidden from them leading to a rejection of agile.

敏捷治理的社会承受力

敏捷指的是一种工作管理思想，它有一套生产力框架，通过审查自己的假设、以人为本的工作方式和鼓励循证学习，支持工作任务的持续和迭代进展。在实践中，公共行政部门已开始使用敏捷原则和方法来规划项目、开展短期冲刺、在收到利益相关者的反馈后进行迭代，并采用以人为本的方法来获得原型解决方案。为了了解公务员在被要求采用敏捷工作实践时所感受到的机遇和挑战，我开展了焦点小组活动，研究公务员采用敏捷思维及其相关实践所需的敏捷治理的社会承受能力。由于接触了敏捷工作实践，公务员要么能够感知到敏捷的可承受性并愿意采用敏捷，要么他们错误地感知到了这些可承受性，或者他们甚至对这些可承受性保持隐蔽，从而导致对敏捷的排斥。
