Episode notes
Agile Understanding Is Limited
- Many people know about Agile but lack understanding of Agile execution and its broader landscape.
- Agile is still a foreign language to many, especially outside IT and software development departments.
Agile Adoption Varies by Department
- Agile adoption in non-technical departments is much lower compared to IT departments.
- Small to mid-sized businesses likely have even less fluency in Agile practices.
Focus on Outcomes, Not Agile Rules
- Organizations need better work methods, communication, and outcome focus rather than Agile for Agile's sake.
- Avoid pushing Agile as a strict set of rules; focus on what improves performance and value delivery.
