Paths of Service

Each path of service in an OpenAgile environment requires certain skills and capacities. An individual who serves in such an environment needs to be aware of the skills and capacities and needs to actively develop those skills and capacities. In the framework of the Learning Circle, the development of skills and capacities can only happen in the context of doing work - it is not merely a matter of classroom training or reading. Thus, a person may start "walking" one of these paths of service without having all the skills and capacities at the start of that journey. As the person tries to serve their team members and their organization, the skills and capacities will develop. Therefore, this skills matrix should not be construed as a set of minimum requirements for someone to serve in a particular way, but rather as a guide for the kinds of skills that will develop as a person helps their team and organization.
