What are the most important factors for motivating and
engaging employees, as well as for attracting new talent? One thing seems
certain: at the top of the ranking - especially looking at the Millennials -
there is no longer a high salary. Of course, wages are always an important
factor, but they are no longer the main ones.
In fact, to decide where to work, employees increasingly
consider other aspects: the possibility of making a career, the amount of free
time, motivation and work organization. It is therefore no coincidence that the
Dubai HR Departments consider the main challenge of 2019 (in 45% of cases)
transformation of work organization models , a priority followed by the
development of corporate digital culture (43%) and the development of a
employer branding strategy (41%).
The agile organization, therefore, becomes central also as
regards the attraction of the talents in the company: but what does the Agile
method actually consist of? Let's see together a definition and, in more
detail, the methodology called Scrum.
Agile business
organization
The Agile method for business organization is born between
the second half of the nineties and the beginning of the 2000s , and today
distinguishes the five largest companies in the world by capitalization:
Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google and Microsoft, directly or not, they refer in
fact to the agile business organization. But what does it mean to apply the
Agile method in the company?
First of all, the structure of the company changes, passing
from the classic pyramidal organization chart to a restricted team
organization. , each with a specific objective and with a good slice of
autonomy, thus reducing the bureaucratic effort.
The Agile Scrum
method
The currently most widespread Agile methodology is the
so-called Scrum method, which aims at efficient management of the work team .
This method divides each project into phases called sprints : at the end of
each of these sprints there is a verification of the results and customer
satisfaction. In this way it is possible to reduce production costs, avoid
unnecessary efforts and minimize the possibility of failure.
The system is essentially divided into three distinct levels
: the definition of the projects, the sprints of variable duration (with rapid
daily synchronization) and, finally, the final review of the work carried out.
The empirical control of the processes gives solidity to the
Scrum method, so the work proceeds with an incremental approach , aimed at
optimizing risk control from sprint to sprint: this management system, in fact,
always remembers that knowledge derives from experience, and therefore it is
possible to make exact and safe decisions only starting from what you know.
In practice, each Scrum team is made up of people divided
into three different roles : there is the project manager (the Scrum Master),
there is the Product Owner (i.e. the person who forms the interface between the
company and customers) and members of the actual development team.
