Part 11 in our #agilecoach #interviewquestions series where John McFadyen answers some of the more common interview questions posed to a potential #scrummaster and #agilecoach hire.  

This is an interesting one because #agile speaks to #leadership rather than line management, however, many organisations that you work with will have deeply embedded line management structures and you will work closely with junior managers all the way through to senior managers so you need to have an idea of how they can support the transition and help the team be as effective as possible.  

Managers play a critical role in the success of any organisation. A Gallup Organisation study from a decade ago found that almost 90% of all business case failure stemmed from 1st line management failure so managers do have the power to make or break any kind of pilot or initiative if they aren't included and consulted throughout the process.  

So, how do you do that? What role do management play during the transition to #agile and how can you bring them onboard to support the new style of working?  

In this short video, John McFadyen provides some insight into what role managers play during an agile transition and how you can win their support and commitment.
