Knocks at the Door: Purpose, Power & Connection in Agile Life (Online)

Trop souvent, les relations entre le métier et la livraison s’enlisent dans la méfiance : retards, priorités qui changent, promesses non tenues… Et si on changeait de perspective ? Penser en termes de flux de valeur, c’est arrêter de pointer du doigt et commencer à regarder comment la valeur circule réellement. Les *flow metrics* nous donnent la transparence nécessaire pour parler le même langage, rétablir la confiance et aligner tout le monde sur un objectif commun : livrer de la valeur qui compte. Aujourd’hui, je vais vous montrer comment. »
Rejoignez-nous pour une soirée de discussions enrichissantes et d’opportunités de réseautage !
