Abstract

Based on an in-depth analysis of a successful large-scale agile transformation, this article sheds light on the evolving role of line managers during the transformation. At the beginning of the transformation, line managers act like “missionaries” and leverage influencing mechanisms in their attempts to foster the adoption of agile values. At maturity, the role of line managers evolves into a role similar to “priests” where discipline mechanisms are enacted to maintain and sustain the newly adopted agile values. The social contracts and the organizational conditions that underpin such evolution have implications for selecting suitable line managers.

直线经理在敏捷转型中的演变:从传教士到牧师

本文在对一次成功的大规模敏捷转型进行深入分析的基础上，揭示了直线经理在转型过程中不断演变的角色。在转型之初，直线经理就像“传教士”一样，利用影响机制来促进敏捷价值观的采用。在成熟期，直线经理的角色演变为类似于“牧师”的角色，在那里制定纪律机制来维护和维持新采用的敏捷价值观。支撑这种演变的社会契约和组织条件对选择合适的直线经理有影响。
