This diagram shows the different agile workstreams that were used during the Grove3547 Social Lab. It highlights the different activities of each workstream and lists accountabilities and teams for each. In this case you’ll notice that the Roller side is populated, while the client side is blank. In order to build internal capacity, a 1:1 ratio is advised, as in “co-delivery”. This ensures that the local/home team is able to build their internal capacity and ultimately take over responsibility for the Social Lab.

Agile Regime
Agile is an iterative and incremental project management process that works well in situations of complexity, making it well-suited for organizing the set-up and delivery of Social Labs. Agile is central to the ways we manage and run social labs at Roller.
The Agile Regime 2.0 diagram offers a visual guide for how our agile regime was organized. At the top you’ll notice that the meetings, actions and decisions are at a strategic level and then become more granular and tactical at the the bottom of the diagram. The delivery/hosting team for Grove worked across several “workstreams”.
AGILE REGIME 2.0
The Agile Regime 3.0 document outlines the basic components for an agile team and gives some guidelines for how time can be managed and work organized. The Grove3547 Hosting and Delivery Teams utilized agile during the running of the Preconditions and the Lab delivery phases. This is the third iteration of the regime process.

Learning Journeys
Learning Journeys were used during the Kick-off Workshop to deepen the lab participants’ and hosting team’s understanding of the social system they are working to impact. A learning journey is really just an an informal, loosely structured visit with a local organization, person or place. It is an opportunity to understand what challenges and opportunities are arising in the system and to get an inside perspective into the specific context of the social challenge at hand.
Grove3547 teams visited City Hall, The Juvenile Detention Center, a local Bronzeville cultural historian, Mikva Challenge (a local youth empowerment organization), and other locations during their Learning Journeys.
The Learning Journey Protocol was given to Learning Journey participants for guidance during their Learning Journey.
LEARNING JOURNEY PROTOCOL
The Learning Journey Guide for Hosts provides information for organizations that have agreed to host a learning journey, providing a little guide so they know what to expect and what is being requested of them.
