The physical environment can support both Agile-Focused and Agile-Inspired teams by enabling a new process and new ways of engagement<\/p>\n<p>Steelcase IT leaders knew they needed to make a fundamental shift from a transactional services mindset to a business mindset that values learning, agility and empathy. Very intentionally, they decided to change the physical environment, team culture and processes all at once.<\/p>\n<div class=\"u-shaded u-shaded--light\">\n<p>Defined by a set of principles written in the Agile Manifesto for software development, Agile is grounded in ideas such as self-managing teams, close cooperation between developers and users, frequent deliverables and consistent customer-feedback cycles. At Steelcase, IT teams are in different stages of adopting Agile. They tend to fall into two main categories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Agile-Focused<\/strong><br \/>\nMultidisciplinary teams focused on one project. They have a defined iterative and cyclical process founded in Agile principles. They primarily support software development and often use a development method such as Scrum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Agile-Inspired<\/strong><br \/>\nTeams applying some principles and processes based in Agile methodologies to multiple projects. Non-IT teams often fall into this category as well. These teams are influenced by Agile principles or a movement toward an Agile culture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"image-pair\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-383662 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/steelcase-res.cloudinary.com\/image\/upload\/c_limit,dpr_auto,q_70,h_1024,w_1024\/v1528168848\/www.steelcase.com\/2018\/06\/05\/18-0106461.jpg\" alt=\"360 Issue 74\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-383663 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/steelcase-res.cloudinary.com\/image\/upload\/c_limit,dpr_auto,q_70,h_1024,w_1024\/v1528168851\/www.steelcase.com\/2018\/06\/05\/18-0106463.jpg\" alt=\"360 issue 74\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote pull-quote-center \"><p>\u201cOur prior space and furniture were fixed in place.
