Self-Discipline

by Jim Highsmith

Agile project managers encourage teams to be resourceful, collaborative, inventive, and empowered. These characteristics contribute to the notion of a self-organizing team -- one that needs steering in the right direction but rarely needs command-control-style management. I've referred to this self-organizing "style" as leadership-collaboration management (Agile Project Management). In much of the agile community, from proponents of Scrum to those of Extreme Programming, this notion of a self-organizing team runs very deep.
