Be More Effective

See Your Feedback Loops and Increase Agility

We invite you to the event, which will take place on Thursday, November 21, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. hours online in cooperation with the PMI Czech chapter.

Is your team or project supposed to “be agile?” It might not feel like it if you have years of backlogs, standups are individual status reports, and everyone is still multitasking. People on a project want to do a great job. But the way you work is very similar to the "agile" death march.

There is a reason you feel this way. You are using false agility - a waterfall lifecycle masquerading as an agile approach. Worse, false agility is the norm in our industry. No one has to work like this.

Your management doesn't care about "agile" - but they do care about agile. Instead of fake agile, you can assess your culture, project and product risks to choose a different approach. You can choose how you interact so you can iterate on features and when it delivers value. When you do, you're more likely to discover real agility and an easier way to work.

Learning objectives

• Be able to assess the risks of your project, product and portfolio.
