What we’re about
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to inspire and inform Australian leaders, and through them organisations, to increase their competitive advantage by more fully achieving agility and value maximisation.
We’re about a lot more than Scrum now. We’re about inspiring and supporting anyone who is interested in a way of working that has more agility and produces higher value at a scale that matters.
Whether you are using SAFe, the Spotify Model, Scrum, Kanban, BVSSH, Team Topologies, a custom Agile way of working or something else, you are warmly invited to join us. All you need is a belief in continuous improvement i.e. that there is always “better”.

For the first time ever in Australia, learn about a visual language for communicating the direction of your organisation's development. This is our second event as Agility and Value Sydney.
Session description
Agilists have been creating lots of teams that work independently, a.k.a. autonomously. This has unintentionally led to creating new silos. Silos around services, internal platforms and other components. Silos around steps in the business process. This division of team scope and skills is usually considered the Agile norm until management questions why they are not realising the Agile promise at a scale that matters for business results.The good news is that we now have a powerful tool for visualising your current state as well as designing and driving your journey toward what’s best for your business.
In this talk we introduce to Australia Org Topologies from Alexey Krivitsky, Roland Flemm and Craig Larman. Org Topologies is a framework-agnostic visual language for communicating the direction of your organisation’s development. We illustrate how it works using examples that take you from typical starting points for Agile adoption toward the most adaptive multi-team organisation conceivable.
Whether you are an Agile Coach, Scrum Master, transformation lead or manager, this session will provide insights on the level of agility that your current structure has and how you can accelerate conversations about improving it using a simple visual language.
Please don’t confuse this with Team Topologies – it’s a completely different perspective. In fact, you can gain insights about Team Topologies by visualising it using Org Topologies.
