00:00:00
hello this is Dr boj with the Jigme
00:00:02
developmental
00:00:03
model
00:00:05
today I want to discuss I want to talk
00:00:08
about Jing me in respect to Agile
00:00:14
philosophy and aile philosophy is
00:00:17
basically
00:00:18
saying instead of relying on a
00:00:21
bureaucratic way of structuring an
00:00:25
organization you can structure
00:00:27
organization to where it is responsible
00:00:30
to
00:00:30
change it can change rather quickly it's
00:00:34
it's agile which is uh agility come from
00:00:38
agil being flexible with
00:00:41
change and many organization are going
00:00:44
toward that right now because we we're
00:00:46
realizing that te technological advances
00:00:49
are making businesses or even
00:00:51
governmental organization to become very
00:00:54
agile so they could be able to maneuver
00:00:59
when when technology change or when C
00:01:01
when a current situation change they can
00:01:03
be able to respond to
00:01:05
change so how does the agile mindset
00:01:10
align with the jig development model
00:01:13
that's that's what I want to talk about
00:01:15
today the history of
00:01:19
agile or agile
00:01:21
philosophy came about uh with software
00:01:25
Engineers it started with software
00:01:27
Engineers
00:01:28
programmers cuz they were we're facing a
00:01:30
lot of problem of
00:01:33
developing
00:01:35
softwares that are that are very
00:01:39
rigid then realizing the customer do not
00:01:42
want those or they not meeting the
00:01:45
customer
00:01:47
satisfaction so they went and sat down
00:01:49
and was like we got to come up with the
00:01:51
philosophy that can allow us to both
00:01:55
receive constant
00:01:58
feedback and remain flexible ible as we
00:02:00
develop these
00:02:02
softwares so these software Engineers
00:02:05
sat down have a
00:02:08
conference and
00:02:09
develop philosophies values and
00:02:13
principles for agile mindset or aile
00:02:18
philosophy and even though that mindset
00:02:22
started at the software industry or
00:02:26
computer science
00:02:28
Industry it is being adapted across many
00:02:32
organization because many organization
00:02:34
are realizing that being responsive to
00:02:37
change is very important especially with
00:02:41
technological changes that are happening
00:02:43
so
00:02:44
fast organizations that are responding
00:02:46
to those changes changes find
00:02:50
themselves at a very good place versus
00:02:54
though that do not response to change so
00:02:57
even though it is started at the
00:02:59
software
00:03:00
industry with with software Engineers
00:03:03
now is moving to many
00:03:06
organizations how does the agile mindset
00:03:10
align with the Jigme development model
00:03:14
that's that's what I want to talk about
00:03:15
today so with the Jing developmental
00:03:19
model it aligns with edile philosophy
00:03:23
like this first it focus on the bottom
00:03:27
up approach to the development and and
00:03:30
ministration which mean it is responsive
00:03:34
to customer feedback you could say
00:03:36
customer uh but at this point it would
00:03:39
be at the grassroot level Personnel so
00:03:43
it is respon responsive to the local
00:03:46
feedback right versus if you focus on
00:03:50
the central central government of of of
00:03:53
of South
00:03:54
Sudan then you're not you're not
00:03:56
reaching down to the to the very level
00:03:59
that that you need to hear the voice of
00:04:02
so that's the first thing the Jigme
00:04:04
developmental model focus on the bottom
00:04:06
up approach rather than top- down
00:04:09
approach to
00:04:10
administrations and development so which
00:04:13
mean it's making it more
00:04:16
responsive the second philosophy or the
00:04:19
second point that the Jing developmental
00:04:22
model meet with agile philosophy is that
00:04:26
it allows for continuous Improvement
00:04:30
which is very vital in in agile mindset
00:04:33
so that
00:04:35
means you don't plan the whole thing out
00:04:38
you rather plan for a small manageable
00:04:43
feature uh and then get feedback from
00:04:46
from the from the customer in this case
00:04:49
it would be the
00:04:50
grassroot so the JMA development model
00:04:53
wants to have many engagement with
00:04:56
locals so the local can be able to say
00:04:59
hey this is what is what is important to
00:05:01
us this is not important to us and this
00:05:04
go to Nos and developmental partner that
00:05:07
are helping South Sudan or helping South
00:05:10
Sudanese
00:05:11
citizen what is the best way to to make
00:05:13
an impact if you go through the
00:05:16
bureaucratic way of doing things right
00:05:18
now there is a chance your initiative
00:05:22
may not even reach the local however if
00:05:25
you are able to start at the bottom you
00:05:28
can easily see what is working what is
00:05:30
not working and you can maneuver based
00:05:33
on those feedback from the grassroot so
00:05:36
continuous
00:05:37
Improvement is
00:05:40
another feature in The Jig developmental
00:05:43
model that aligned with the agile
00:05:45
mindset or agile agile
00:05:49
philosophy another thing is
00:05:52
that when you establish local
00:05:54
administration at the payan buma
00:05:57
level you have better
00:06:01
interaction with with the
00:06:05
locals and that interaction it go back
00:06:08
to that giving you that consistent
00:06:11
feedback versus if you use the
00:06:15
traditional bureaucratic
00:06:17
way you may spend a lot of
00:06:20
money before you realize that the
00:06:23
project is not
00:06:25
working so The Jig developmental model
00:06:29
would respond quickly to changes or it
00:06:34
would allow the Nos and development
00:06:37
developmental Partners to realize that
00:06:40
hey this is not this is working this is
00:06:41
not
00:06:43
working and also with G development
00:06:47
model it allows
00:06:49
for
00:06:52
Nos and development partner to escape
00:06:56
the bureaucratic inefficiencies
00:07:00
this is not only in South Sudan this is
00:07:01
across the globe many organization are
00:07:04
going away from the bureaucratic way of
00:07:06
doing things so they could be more
00:07:08
responsive to
00:07:10
change so if development Partners NGS
00:07:13
are approaching this JM developmental
00:07:16
model where you start from the
00:07:19
bottom and then work your way up or
00:07:22
starting at the local
00:07:24
level then at that point you can easily
00:07:27
realize that what I'm doing is effective
00:07:30
or is not
00:07:32
effective right and with that the Jing
00:07:36
developmental model the fact that is it
00:07:38
is focusing on
00:07:40
the on the grassroot approach rather
00:07:43
than or the the top down approach no the
00:07:47
bottom up approach rather than top down
00:07:51
approach then it allows for a responsive
00:07:54
way of doing things so with that the
00:07:59
developmental model
00:08:01
aligns with the agile philosophy which
00:08:04
is many
00:08:07
organizations businesses governments
00:08:10
militaries are going toward this this
00:08:13
philosophy rather than the historical
00:08:16
way of having the
00:08:20
Central Central uh
00:08:24
office and then working its way down to
00:08:27
to the lower management uh is
00:08:31
structured one example of that is uh
00:08:34
General mccristal in in in the US
00:08:37
military he he he pushed for this
00:08:41
mindset because he realized
00:08:44
that even in the military
00:08:47
operations if you are not being
00:08:49
responsive to
00:08:51
change then by the time the mission come
00:08:54
down it's too late so he was pushing he
00:08:57
he published many books about it uh
00:09:00
including teams of teams where like he
00:09:03
allow small teams to develop or or to be
00:09:07
responsible for a specific Mission and
00:09:10
they could be responsive to any changes
00:09:12
rather than waiting for a
00:09:15
central a central command to push the
00:09:17
mission down to the lower he realized
00:09:21
that that is not that is not an agile
00:09:24
mindset and uh at at that at that
00:09:27
current operations or those operations
00:09:29
that was he was responsible for he
00:09:32
realized that an agile is very important
00:09:35
you can go to even uh Microsoft
00:09:37
Microsoft is also going toward this or
00:09:40
already started on this and many many
00:09:42
other
00:09:44
organizations so the more
00:09:47
you the more you you you you adapt this
00:09:51
mindset which is focusing on what's
00:09:54
important at this point at The Jig
00:09:56
developmental model the most important
00:09:59
part of of this model is that bottom up
00:10:03
approach rather than top down
00:10:06
approach and if you are able to do that
00:10:09
you are able to
00:10:10
make more interaction with the
00:10:13
locals continuous
00:10:16
Improvement and you are able to change
00:10:19
rather quickly if the if the initiative
00:10:22
that you're working on is not
00:10:24
working and you could be able to change
00:10:26
it or adjust it to where uh uh to where
00:10:29
you could be able to make an effective
00:10:33
change for your
00:10:36
organization and having that access to
00:10:38
the
00:10:39
locals
00:10:41
allow you to get those feedback rather
00:10:46
quickly before you invest so much energy
00:10:49
so much resources into an initiative
00:10:52
that may not be producing what is it
00:10:54
that you want and many developmental
00:10:58
partners many developmental Partners
00:11:00
many
00:11:02
noos realize that way too late by the
00:11:06
time they realize that their approach is
00:11:09
not effective they spent millions or
00:11:12
even billions for for bigger
00:11:15
organizations and while you if you adapt
00:11:20
a bottom up
00:11:21
approach
00:11:24
to Aid or to your initiative then it
00:11:28
would allow you
00:11:30
to give or or it would allow you to
00:11:34
get feedback constant
00:11:38
feedback before you before you realize
00:11:40
you spent so much energy so much
00:11:43
resources on on something that may not
00:11:46
be uh that may not
00:11:49
be uh valuable uh to the
00:11:52
local so that's it for Jing me
00:11:55
developmental
00:11:56
model uh again this is this model f
00:11:59
focus on the bottom up
00:12:01
approach rather than top down approach
00:12:04
where historically that has been found
00:12:06
to be very ineffective
