 While every transformation is different depending on context of the transformation (work, process, people, business, etc) as we go through a transformation from an traditional organization to one focused on a [[agile_values_and_principles|lean / agile set of values and principles]] we often see similar problems reoccur.
-The idea of this section is to capture some of these problems / anti-patterns / smells so that people can become aware of them. The first step to solving a problem is to ensure we identify it, so the simple act of "awareness" is a good start to working the issue. Having said that we also need to talk about and understand the impact of various problems as well as work on potential approaches we can take to work the issue. And if you want to facilitate a session that increases awareness of these issues see [[How Do I Help Raise Awareness of Transformation Problems?]].

+That said, perhaps documenting these as "anti-patterns" is a little over the top. In reality I've never actually used this documentation in this way directly. These ideas have been used as an adjunct to helping people who are interested in the working environment (the culture) become aware, perhaps mid-management, perhaps executives. For example, if you want to facilitate a session that increases awareness of these anti-patterns you could try a workshop session based on [[how_do_i_help_raise_awareness_of_transformation_problems|How Do I Raise Awareness of Transformation Problems?]] Alternatively, some of the ideas could be incorporated in "scenarios" when training a specific role. Personally I like the structure of these anti-patterns but also wonder, given that there is no successful "book" of agile transformation anti-patterns, whether there is much value in capturing in this way.
