Laura & ST have been supporting individuals, teams and companies in (agile) change projects for many years. Sometimes this has been very disappointing and frustrating. As a self-therapeutic measure, they began to write short messages in which they satirized or simply quoted their environment. Comments like: "You can do that any way you like, but not like that" or "Testing? We don't do that, it's far too expensive. We implement changes live" or "This is a very good method, but unfortunately it doesn't work for us" or "In the time planning takes, I can also work on something for real" brightened the depressed mood. In the course of time, small drawings were added and the idea for this book was born. To make sure the content is not only negatively connotated, they have described improvement suggestions with each anti-tip.

Laura Sophie Aichroth, M. Sc.
The development of human beings - as individuals and in the system - has always been at the center of Laura's interest. With her background in business and organizational psychology, it is her goal to bring teams and organizations to fulfilling collaboration and value creation - in start-ups, medium-sized and large organizations at home and abroad. In her more than ten years of professional experience, she has inspired and supported individuals and teams to further develop ways of thinking and processes with tools and methods, from know-how to know-why. There are no off-the-shelf solutions, because depending on the context, it is necessary to make use of New Work approaches from the toolbox and to develop suitable solutions. She has worked with IT and non-IT teams.

Prologue
Everything has been said and written down and yet we still have the impression that agile, self-organized collaboration is hardly to be found in companies in a functioning, value-creating, fulfilling way. A lot of people are tired of the word "agile" and are already longing for the next trend or waiting for this trend to pass. Why is it that hard?
The aim of this book is to share pitfalls and effective ways out. We have come up with an amazing number of scenarios in a short period of time - we will start with 23. We publish these and possibly other ways to agile failure on our website www.teamagile.org and on various social networks. The hashtag is #agilewaystofail. By the way, you can do that, too.

The book can be seen as a self-therapeutic measure of two agile coaches and organizational developers who have a great passion for people, cooperation and self-organization. In different projects we have noticed the same patterns again and again. To better cope with these ourselves, we have started to write down and draw what we have to do to kill self-organization, motivation and agility. In this book we describe scenarios, beliefs and often heard or experienced behaviors that show exactly what agility or self-organization don't mean. Everybody can complain; therefore, we describe concrete steps, assistance and recommendations for change in these situations from our experience. We have divided the book into five sections and assigned chapters to these sections. The areas are Management and General Demotivation, Human Resources and Attitude, Software Developers and IT, Agile Washing and Product Development and Customer Contact. However, the content is often transferable to other areas as well.
We have worked with different frameworks, national and international teams, in German or English, in different company sizes at home and abroad - from start-ups to corporations. Our experience is manifold, from a Scrum Master activity to an agile coach, the introduction of agile work with training of the participants (Scrum Master, Product Owner, Agile Coach, Agile Leader) up to the accompaniment and responsibility of (digital) transformations in the area of organizational development. We accompany teams and companies with regard to product, team and technology. We both have different certifications and have worked with software development teams in various companies according to Scrum and Kanban for several years - with the accompaniment of the ceremonies (Review, Retro, Planning, Refinement, Daily), team development, administration of the toolchain for digital mapping of cooperation and improvement of processes.
CHAPTER I
Management and General Demotivation
A company could be such a great thing if only it didn't have those annoying employees. Simply throwing out uncomfortable colleagues is no longer up to date, it tends to go down badly on social networks. But there is one way to separate the wheat from the chaff, the 4V method® (derived from the German words: Verunsichern, Verschwenden, Verärgern, Vergraulen): unsettle, waste, annoy, drive away. Either the employees stay and become part of the system or they leave voluntarily.
Don't practice what you preach!
What applies to general employees does not necessarily apply to managers. Being late for a meeting? Having the assistant book private holidays? Answering e-mails during a meeting? Cutting in line at the cafeteria? Exclusive parking spaces? No problem at all. You are important and your time is more valuable than that of others.
It sounds simple and in theory (hopefully) everyone agrees that you should practice the kind of behavior you preach to your fellow human beings, employees and colleagues. Nevertheless, people like to fall back into old habits and allow themselves the right to behave in a way that would bother them in others - telling themselves they have a valid justification for their behavior.
If you are able to implement decisions, make sure that visibly different classes in companies (e.g. separate canteen for the management, parking spaces for executives or senior management,
