Agile PM Online Roundtable: When your “Agile” org doesn't seem very Agile

Agilists strive to leverage Agile principles and practices to rally their work (and the work of people around them) towards awesome results that make an impact. Along the way, we encounter lots of definitions and interpretations of what it means to be “Agile”. All-to-often we see situations in which individuals, teams, and organizations describe themselves as Agile, but don’t appear to behave in ways that are congruent with Agile values, principles, and practices.

What happens when we encounter the cognitive dissonance of an “Agile” organization that doesn’t seem very Agile?

What can we do for the people around us? What can we provide to people with organizational power? What can we do to portray an accurate and effective representation of our craft and the value that it can provide?

At April’s Agile PM Roundtable, we’ll explore questions like these using Lean Coffee. Lean Coffee enables each participant to propose discussion topics that explore the ideas, challenges, and opportunities that impact them the most. With Lean Coffe, you never know what will happen. Come prepared to be surprised!
