Reducing Small Team Culture Shock
With Agile
Service
Organization
Do things for other parts of the
organization, at the direction of
those other parts.
Experts charged with keeping
things running, but have to ask
others to approve any
improvements.
A
TRADITIONAL IT CULTURE
Generative
Organization
Create a product, continually
make it better, in collaboration
with the entire product group.
Experts working in a group to
keep things running, and
continually improve them.
B
SMALL TEAM AGILE CULTURE
@sysadm1138 HelloSign
Traditional IT Organizations are Different:
● Extremely heterogenous in supported technologies.
○ Many different platforms, software frameworks, and even
databases.
● Separation of duties.
○ Separate departments for SysAdmin, Development, DBA,
Network...
● Mixed ownership.
○ Some parts it owns, other parts it merely supports.
○ Sometimes, which is which is not clear.
● Bureaucratic and sometime pathologic in organizational culture
○ Rarely generative
@sysadm1138 HelloSign
Psychological
Safety
Americans are absolute crap at treating their service-workers with respect.
Even highly trained technical service-workers.
It gets old.
@sysadm1138 HelloSign
Little makes for a toxic environment faster than being highly trained, with professional standards,
and no one listens to you.
Microaggressions. OMG Microaggressions.

Willful Ignorance
@sysadm1138 HelloSign
My Team is
Awesome
We are the thin line between the duct-taped infrastructure and
the chaos monkeys that will wreck it.
@sysadm1138 HelloSign
Reflexive Change
Resistance
Fear of change not initiated by me, or my
team of awesome.
By pitching a fit, we can sometimes affect
positive change. Maybe involve us earlier
next time.
1
PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY METHODS
@sysadm1138 HelloSign
Intentional
Deinvestment
To be used when pitching a fit doesn’t
work.
To save my sanity, I no longer care how
this turns out.
2
PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY METHODS
@sysadm1138 HelloSign
Compartmentalization
I see you’re getting steamrolled by
management.
You have my sympathies.
To save my own sanity, I won’t help you.
3
PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY METHODS
@sysadm1138 HelloSign
Bonding through
negativity
Pain shared is pain divided.
4
PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY METHODS
@sysadm1138 HelloSign
@sysadm1138 HelloSign
Negativity:
Pain shared is pain
divided.
Not just IT types.
Police
Fire-fighters
ER Professionals
Animal Control officers

PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY METHODS
@sysadm1138 HelloSign
Service
Organization
Toxic cesspit of disrespect and
things I hate.
A
TRADITIONAL IT

Wonderland of promise and

@sysadm1138 HelloSign
New Job! Yay!
IMMIGRATING TO AGILE
@sysadm1138 HelloSign
Wait, what?
No.
We can’t do this, we don’t know how.
REFLEXIVE CHANGE RESISTANCE
@sysadm1138 HelloSign
What challenges are you seeing?
Let’s make some user-stories about that.
Can you work with #{person} to make a list?
REFLEXIVE CHANGE RESISTANCE
@sysadm1138 HelloSign
Comes from having an initiative denied.
Re-engage them, find out why they shut off.
DEINVESTMENT & COMPARTMENTALIZATION
@sysadm1138 HelloSign
Everyone loves a good stupid-user story…
I got lots.
BONDING THROUGH NEGATIVITY
@sysadm1138 HelloSign
Check that shit
Signpost your office culture. This is not acceptable.
Even you, Upper Midwesterners. This conflict is worth it.
@sysadm1138 HelloSign
Stop hurtful negativity
It does not reinforce
psychological safety, it
hurts it in most people.
Check that shit.
Fire the assholes who
don’t adapt.
3Redirect
Turn the reflexive
negativity into an
opportunity to provide
feedback.
Teaches that they can
provide feedback without
excessive verbal elbow.
1 Reengage
If they retreat after a loss,
look at it as another
opportunity for feedback.
Teaches them that they
are not a service, they
are a person; and you
know that.

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Which means there are different methods of maintaining psychological safety.
  2. This is the point where I have to mention another difference between TradIT and generative organizations: optimism. TradIT is all about keeping things up in spite of the everything, generative orgs are about making things better.
  3. How can you survive a sea of hostility? With an island of sanity.
  4. Oh look, ableist language.
