Joy of Agility
Agile is an adjective. It describes a timeless way of being that matures with practice and skill. If you’ve thought of Agile as a formula, a framework, or a set of roles and rituals to follow, I believe you will benefit from a broader understanding of agility.
Becoming agile involves knowing the difference between being quick or hurrying, moving with ease or difficulty, being in or out of balance, graceful or awkward, adaptable or rigid, resourceful or resentful.
In this talk, based on my book, Joy of Agility, I will share six essential agile mantras, plus unforgettable, real-world agile stories that will empower you to be quick, adaptable, and resourceful in the face of opportunities and challenges.
