Agile isn’t just for IT development and it isn’t about sitting through yet another standup that feels like a status report. This session is about taking a step back and looking at Agile as a way of working that helps teams collaborate better, adapt faster, and keep projects moving forward.
We’ll talk about why Agile often feels broken in practice, and how to move past the buzzwords to something that actually works. We’ll rethink familiar rituals like standups, retrospectives, and sprint planning, and show how they can be adjusted to help your projects instead of feeling like another box to check.
If you have ever asked, “Are we actually doing Agile right? this session will give you some honest answers and a few new ideas to try.
