Agile is Dead!

Our Agile & Scaled-Value Project Management Meetup hour in February 2026 is scheduled for Thursday, February 26th, 2026.
Time: 12:00pm PT/2:00pm CT/3:00pm ET
Topic: "Agile is Dead!"
Our Guest Speaker: Mike Lyons

An introduction to the meetup:
The headlines are wrong. Agile isn't dead! What's dying is the cargo-cult version obsessed with rituals instead of results. Want to win more agile engagements and deliver better outcomes?
Join this session with Mike Lyons from KaiRise to learn how they're partnering with firms to cut through the noise and deliver real results, chiefly using the power of AI-enabled, on-demand training and more. We need to get back to the first principles: improving flow, tightening feedback loops, empowering teams, and designing systems that adapt as quickly as the world changes. This event with KaiRise calls on transformation leaders to drop the dogma and rediscover true agility - small batches, decentralized decisions, and relentless learning.
Join us to explore what lowercase-a agile looks like today and how KaiRise partners with consultants to deliver it in real client engagements.

Takeaways:

1. Leading Teams with Impact
2. Improving Flow
3. Empowering Teams
4. Relentless Learning
