Agile Around The World

We are conditioned culturally from an early age, each of us developing a
set of values and behaviours that differ from those in other parts of
the world. When adopting Agile, do cultural behaviours and values
prevail, or is there a universal 'Agile culture'? How have different
cultures adopted Agile to suit them? Are some cultures naturally more
suited to adopting Agile than others? We have been travelling around the
world since January 2018, visiting local companies, observing and
interacting with teams and interviewing Agile practitioners to study
these questions.

In this talk, we discuss cultural differences and share case studies and
our observations of Agile adoption from our experiences in South
America, Asia Pacific and Europe. We discuss how different cultures
could learn from each other and highlight the value of having a truly
global community that share experiences.
