NebraskaProduct | Joshua Kerievsky on The Joy of Agility and Modern Agile

Agile doesn’t just need a reboot, it needs a rethink. The word isn’t a noun, a management fad, a manifesto or even a framework. One may be agile and never sprint, conduct a standup meeting or be part of a release train. The dread that many experience from commercial agile approaches is unfortunate and unnecessary.
Agile is an adjective: an agile surgeon, dancer, athlete, team, etc. Being agile is joyful and is applicable to all living beings. So how do we tap into that joy?
In this new talk, based on my forthcoming book, Joy of Agility, you will learn the definition of agile, six essential mantras for becoming agile, and several of my favorite stories that illustrate agility. You will leave this talk with a clear understanding of what it means to be agile and how to move towards the joy that flows from genuine agility.

About Joshua:
Joshua began his career as a professional programmer on Wall Street while still in university. In 1996, he founded Industrial Logic ([http://industriallogic.com](https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Findustriallogic.co%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cavboellstorff%40speedwaymotors.com%7Cef3b909d382a4591f99108d9f2627105%7C560d18dd0fdc47bc9d404c928915d64e%7C0%7C0%7C637807326912516086%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=8LsddGcs6psHkNV3Nq44ZunKecHcyPRQV5Bh7r6M31A%3D&reserved=0)) to share the “light and magic” of software development. During the late 1990s, Industrial Logic helped pioneer lightweight software methods and today is considered one of the oldest and most well-respected agile consultancies in the world. Joshua and his global team of experts love to help people and teams leverage agility in software engineering and product management. He and his colleagues have helped organizations including Google, GE, John Deere, Nielsen and Ford grow high-performance teams that deliver better outcomes sooner. He holds zero agile certifications yet continues to improve his agility. Joshua is an international speaker, and author of the bestselling and award-winning book Refactoring to Patterns, as well as his forthcoming book, Joy of Agility.
