Key Roles of An Agile Basketball / Agile NBA Team


The key members of the Agile Basketball framework are the analysts, coaches, players and the Agile Basketball Consultant. Secondary roles include the athletic director, scouts, and other stakeholders. Players are self-organizing and willing to improve their range of skills and attributes. Self-organizing teams determine the best way to accomplish their goals, with guidance from the coaching staff. This concept may sound unrealistic right now, but as you read this guide, you’ll learn that self organization is a natural transition for teams that operate under the principles of Agile Basketball. The continuous improvement model in Agile Basketball is designed to maximize value, performance and synergy.

Agile Basketball - Estimating Player Value Toward Team Goals

Image
When an analyst sets the key objectives of a sprint, they prioritize the performance metrics (in the Sprint Performance Dashboard), assess the complexity of each metric based on the schedule and individual matchups within the Sprint, and assigns a value to them. Value for performance metrics vary from Sprint to Sprint and player to player based on the competition of the schedule and what the team needs him to do. This assesses the feasibility of each metric and forces players to challenge themselves in other areas when goals related to their strengths and skillsets are difficult to accomplish (for example, the chances of winning the matchup of scoring or rebounding against a guard like Russell Westbrook is low, therefore the guard in that matchup is forced to find other performance metrics they will win in that matchup, thus creating value). It’s very important that the entire team share a clearly defined and common understanding of the value point system. http://agilebasketball.org/mo...

Agile Basketball Pillars: Self Organization

Image
Self-organization is a fundamental concept in Agile Basketball. Self-organization does not mean that players instead of managers control the team strategy and execution. Nor does it mean letting players do whatever they want to do. It means that management commits to guiding the evolution towards synergy, which emerges from the interaction of players, committed to team goals and learning through inspection, adaptation, self-organization and empiricism. The analyst clarifies to player what the team objectives are for each five game Sprint, and players (along with the analyst and assistant coach guidance) determine how they will add value. But they are nonetheless self-organizing, with influence from those who can assist them in achieving the team goal (such as analyst creating ways of measuring value and the team lead adopting new offensive/defensive strategies). The player’s job is to self-organize around team challenges, boundaries, and constraints identified by the analyst or player ...

Agile Basketball Tools – The 5 Game Increment

Image
The Five Game Increment is the value of all the Sprint Performance Dashboard metrics successfully delivered during the current Sprint, and the sum value of the previous Sprints. The number of wins is the main goal for measuring success of the Sprint and value points reflects team growth, or its ability to achieve greater success in the key areas that impact goal attainment. See Estimating Player “Value” toward Team Goals and Tracking Velocity for more explanation on how to measure value. The concept is through incremental inspection and adaption, empiricism is increased and metric value becomes a key indicator for predicting team success. http://agilebasketball.org/agile-basketball-artifacts/
