Slicing for Value: What Real Agility Looks Like

Imagine... You’re doing the standups. The sprints. The retros. The Jira tickets. But something’s off...

Your team’s shipping features regularly-ish — and yet, it feels like nothing’s really changing. No one’s asking whether what you’re building is actually valuable. And when things don’t land, you’re already onto the next item in the backlog.

Sound familiar?

In this meetup, we’ll go deeper than frameworks. We’ll explore what value really means, how to slice for outcomes - not output - and work out elevating structures for implementing this in your organisation!

This will be a hands-on workshop, so you can expect working groups, discussions, stickies and sharpies :-)

🧠 You’ll leave with:

• A sharper lens on what value really is (and isn’t)
• Techniques for slicing work to deliver early and learn fast
• A fresh take on agility: one that’s focused on impact, not just process
• Some insights for implementing in your organisation

Whether you’re in product, tech, or transformation — if you’ve felt stuck in a feature factory, this is for you.
