Agility Without the Buzzwords: What Really Works

Agility Without the Buzzwords: What Really Works

Scrum ≠ Agile.
Standups ≠ Agility.
And when those things don’t work, it doesn’t mean Agile has failed.
In this session, we’ll strip away the jargon and get back to what Agility really means. We’ll revisit the Agile Manifesto and the 12 Principles that laid the foundation, focusing on what still matters:
🔁 Continuous delivery,
🧠 Self-organising teams,
🛠 Technical excellence.
Whether you’re feeling stuck in ceremony fatigue or just looking to ground your practice in something real, this talk will help you reconnect with Agile as it was meant to be, not a framework, but a mindset that drives sustainable delivery and team growth.

Let’s talk about what really works, no buzzwords required.
