From Doing Agile to Becoming Adaptive: Learning Our Way to Better Value

Starting - 14:00 EDT

From doing agile to becoming adaptive - Learning our way to better value
Many organisations have adopted agile roles, ceremonies and frameworks, yet still struggle to deliver value quickly or respond confidently to change. So what happens when you stop trying to become more agile and start trying to become better at learning?
Join Product Leader Edd Parker and Agile Delivery Manager Robyn Wright-Chadha as they share an honest conversation about moving beyond Agile in Name Only. Through real stories of platform modernisation, proof of concepts that deliberately stopped early, value stream thinking and the messy reality of building effective product trios, they'll explore how Better Value Sooner Safer Happier principles helped shift their organisation from delivery certainty to organisational learning.
This isn't a transformation success story or a framework walkthrough. It's a practical discussion about experimentation, shared ownership, reducing assumptions and why learning may be the most valuable product your teams create.

Edd Parker is a product leader with a background spanning product management, software development and digital transformation across nonprofit and technology organisations.
