Agility Without Agile: How to Help Without Using the 'A' Word
Description

Do your teams get overwhelmed with changing priorities, struggle with hybrid collaboration or suffer from change fatigue? Many organizations claim they are "done with Agile," but agility is about solving problems, delivering value, and continual improvement—not terminology!

In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn to introduce Agile principles and practices subtly, using relatable language and actionable approaches tailored to your organization’s pain points.

Through collaborative exercises and real-world examples, you’ll explore how to reframe Agile practices, resonate with skeptical stakeholders, and encourage meaningful change—without ever mentioning the "A" word.
