with Alex Sloley:
Agile is Dead! Or so the LinkedIn prophets say. But is it really? Or are we just stuck in a stale framing of agile that no longer resonates?
In this workshop, we’ll explore the dramatic demise of agile (cue thunderclap), and then flip the script. Agile isn’t dead! It’s just waiting for a fresh coat of paint and a new perspective. You’ll collaborate with fellow agile rebels to reframe agile in ways that make sense for today’s teams, orgs, and chaos. Let’s resurrect agile, but make it weird, make it useful, and make it ours.
Long Live Agile!
