Agile For Everybody—Moving On from Legacy Thinking

Many organizations embark upon “Agile transformations” and other large-scale initiatives to implement Agile and Lean. Unfortunately, many of these initiatives fail and each failure reinforces the idea that true change is perpetually out of reach. This video addresses the common reasons why organizations fail to change. It evaluates top-down approaches to change (i.e., scaled agile frameworks) and bottom-up approaches to change through small experiments, helping you understand the implications of each approach.

• Master the techniques that ensure the success of Agile and Lean transformation initiatives
• Learn to identify and vanquish the “zombie beliefs” that stop organizations from transforming
• Explore ways to extend the core values of Agile beyond product and software development teams
• Learn to set a clear vision for change that helps people see how the change affects their work
