Agile refers to a work management ideology with a set of productivity frameworks that support continuous and iterative progress on work tasks by reviewing one's hypotheses, working in a human-centric way, and encouraging evidence-based learning. In practice, public administrations have started to use agile principles and methods to plan projects, work in short sprints, iterate after receiving feedback from stakeholders, and apply a human-centric approach to arrive at prototyped solutions. To understand the opportunities and challenges public servants perceive when they are asked to apply agile work practices, I conducted focus groups to study the social affordances of agile governance that need to be in place for public servants to adopt an agile mindset and its related practices. As a result of the exposure to agile work practices, public servants are either able to perceive its affordances and are willing to adopt agile, they falsely perceive them or they even remain hidden from them leading to a rejection of agile.

敏捷治理的社会可供性

敏捷是指一种工作管理意识形态，具有一套生产力框架，通过审查假设、以人为中心的方式工作并鼓励基于证据的学习，支持工作任务的持续和迭代进展。在实践中，公共管理部门已开始使用敏捷原则和方法来规划项目，在短冲刺中开展工作，在收到利益相关者的反馈后进行迭代，并应用以人为本的方法来得出原型解决方案。为了了解公务员在被要求应用敏捷工作实践时所感受到的机遇和挑战，我组织了焦点小组来研究敏捷治理的社会承受能力，这些承受能力是公务员采用敏捷思维及其相关实践所需要的。由于接触了敏捷工作实践，公务员要么能够感知到敏捷的可供性并愿意采用敏捷，要么错误地感知它们，或者甚至对它们隐藏起来，从而导致对敏捷的拒绝。
