How we could encourage people to used agile method at work place?
METHODOLODY OF INFORMATION SYSTEM AND KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
Agile methodologies are very "team"-oriented, so I don’t think you can get very far without some sort of experienced "coach" and some sort of management directive indicating that the coach is calling the shots.
People in lots of different roles have to work closely together, probably much more closely than they are used to. As much as possible the team should make it’s own decisions about what form that cooperation takes, but everyone should be aware that the "coach" is the final authority on how the team operates.
If the team is largely self-directed in the small details, the coach can usually effectively persuade team members to conform to the team standards. However, if someone on the team cannot be persuaded to get into the spirit of things, management must be ready to cut them loose. I know it sounds cruel, but an agile process really is a "whole team" process. One weak-link team member really can drag down the project.
Having said that, if your problem is that your organization does not use an agile methodology and you think it should, I would encourage you to work very hard to get "management buy-in". Yes, it is important that you get your co-workers on board, but without management you have no chance at all. MOST of agile methodology is about how people perform their tasks. This is fundamentally a management issue. You need management support to make any real headway.
