Agile: Where to Start and Why

Join Magnet for our next Professional Development event! On January 27th, Magnet will feature Chad Beier and Jeff Bubolz and we will learn how to be more agile in the workplace and in our lives. Achieving agility almost always involves organizational structure changes that lead to true culture change. Doing agile is focused on mechanics of frameworks such as Scrum without realizing the true benefits of agility or understanding the “whys” behind the frameworks. Being agile is more about a mindset shift in how we approach work – using agile frameworks with the “whys” in mind and organizing our people to achieve agility.

Doing agile lives within status quo processes; being agile challenges status quo processes with a spirit of continuous improvement. This whiteboard talk clarifies what “agile” is, highlights the most important factors in achieving true agility, and why many agile adoptions “fail” to get there.
