June 2022 | What is Agile and the Agile Mindset by Mike Palladino

There is so much talk about Agile, but there are many misconceptions. Is it only for IT departments and software development?  Can these techniques be used elsewhere?  

This presentation will outline, in non-technical language, the full scope of Agile and how it applies across any organisation.  Successful Agile transformations occur when organisations think differently about work, teams, and accountability. The Agile mindset is critical for success in 21st century organisations, and all professionals will benefit from attending this informative session.  Learn why those using an Agile approach can lead to higher productivity as teams deliver more work without spending additional time.

What is the Agile mindset?  What are the main misconceptions of Agile and how do they contribute to the ineffective application of Agile? How can organisations use Agile effectively? What is the business value of adopting a best-practices based Agile approach?
