Description:
There has been a growing realization in the business world, especially in the last couple of years, that Agile isn’t just for software anymore. Whether you are a team of managers tasked with transforming the culture of your organization, a marketing director trying to improve the speed and effectiveness of your digital content, or even a home improvement buff trying to refurbish a basement, you can practice Agility the same as everyone else. The differences are not as striking as you might think!
Learning Objectives:
After a very quick reminder of Agile values and principles, we’ll discuss several examples of non-software deliveries, seeing how the agile principles and practices can with very little effort be applied to the work at hand. The agile mindset is very flexible. By the end of the session you will believe that Agile is far more versatile than just helping deliver one kind of work.
Target Audience:
Executive / Management, Practitioners, Newbies, Coaches, Product / Portfolio Management
