Project details

100,- Assignment Description PIANOo is looking for a scrum master/ senior transformation coach for the further development of agile working at CIA/ PIANOo. PIANOo introduced agile working in 2026. This has created the need to further develop and implement agile working at multiple levels. The performance objectives concern the following activities:

Background Assignment Guiding and realizing a sustainable Agile transformation within PIANOo, where teams effectively learn to work according to Agile principles and translate them into their own context. In 2026, agile working was introduced based on the existing design, with adjustments made to a number of parts during the implementation. The foundation for agile working has been established for PIANOo, but the team's current maturity level requires external guidance to optimize mutual collaboration and associated behavior.

In addition to the completion of the technical setup, extra attention is needed for guiding the teams in their transition to new ways of working. A new need has also arisen to supplement the setup for PIANOo at multiple levels, so that agile working is also translated into a new working method for the MT CIA and connections can be made with other teams, e.g., TenderNed.

• Teams (level 2). At the end of the (initial) assignment, each team will run stand-up, refinement, and retro without guidance. To be measured: how many ceremonies were run without a coach in the last quarter, and by whom.
• Ready process (level 1). Structural work is dropped during the initial term of the assignment. To be measured: at least one item per cycle that is not ready, with an explicit distinction between a 'no' and a 'not yet ready'.
• MT (level 0). At the end of the (initial) term, there is a decision list with an owner, a date, and one of three outcomes for each item. To be measured: how many items are closed versus opened, the average lead time of a decision, and whether decided items have been communicated to those affected.
• Based on the same statements used for the baseline measurement, it will be measured whether there is sufficient movement in insight and control over the new work process. This ensures that the overarching objectives (why we work agile) are not lost sight of.
• During the assignment, the senior transformation coach will be used as a coach for a civil servant who wants to become proficient in the scrum master role and agile working.
• Transfer. At the end of the (initial) assignment, the scrum master role, the PO roles per instrument, and the owner of the decision list will be assigned to named individuals, and they will have held their position for at least a quarter.
• Option 1, period May 1st to June 30th, 2027: Implement the MT CIA level and prepare the PIANOo team for independently running ceremonies. At least one shared workflow between PIANOo and TenderNed runs in the same rhythm, or a decision has been made why this is not happening. A 'no' is also a performance here. The team is prepared to execute agile working at all levels without the guidance of an external scrum master/transformation coach, with an (updated) work method description as a basis.
