Problem

How would you start Agile with a new team?

Asked in the Interview stage. Explain how you would establish the team’s working model, align stakeholders, and create an initial delivery cadence. Address how you would assess readiness, introduce ceremonies and artifacts, manage the backlog, measure progress, and adapt the process based on early feedback.

Your Task

  1. Describe your first steps with the team.
  2. Define the initial Agile operating model.
  3. Explain how you would create and prioritize the backlog.
  4. Identify likely adoption risks and mitigation actions.
  5. Define how you would evaluate whether the approach is working.
