AI BriefingKakao Establishes Agile Coach Part to Drive Company-Wide Adoption of 'OpenWork'
Key point
Kakao established the Agile Coach Part in April 2020 and plans to expand OpenWork beyond development teams to planning and design organizations.
Details
In April 2020, Kakao established the Agile Coach Part to focus on increasing the maturity of its internal agile culture. Beyond simple tool management, this organization is responsible for spreading OpenWork, Kakao's way of working, company-wide and making the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) more agile.
The Agile Coach Part performs two core functions. First, it internalizes the agile mindset and principles through team coaching and establishes feedback loops within the SDLC. Second, it serves as a platform supporting agility by ensuring the stable operation of collaboration tools such as JIRA, Confluence, and GitHub Enterprise, and by discovering automation tools.
Based on the '5 Kakaoisms', Kakao emphasizes horizontal communication and a culture of information disclosure/sharing. Recognizing that agile practices cannot be sustained without a solid mindset, the company is focused on creating an environment where crew members immerse themselves and work proactively.
The future goal is to fully establish OpenWork across development organizations this year and expand its scope to planning, design, and business organizations next year. The ultimate objective is for Kakao to be recognized as 'agile and good at agile'.
