In this episode, I explore the need to redefine traditional agile roles, urging listeners to break free from industry constraints. I emphasize the importance of learning new skills for 2024, such as adding value, setting ambitious goals, fostering creativity and innovation, making decisive decisions, influencing others, and cultivating resilience. By mastering these skills, I highlight the potential for individuals to carve out a distinctive path in the world of agility, transcending conventional boundaries and embracing adaptability and courage in the evolving agile landscape.

When Agile fails, we should look first at where we failed to honour its principles. How many times have we taught "people over process and tools", only to focus solely on process and tools? Can it REALLY be the fault of management every time? Maybe we should take a closer look in our own houses.

2023 brought great change to business and technology. Priorities have changed, and we may not be focused on the right things to support our clients and practitioners. Where will Agile go in 2024?

The future of agile lies in a relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation. Let's use our skills to create a better work environment, deliver better products, and strive for better balance.

Don't obsess over the outcome. The only thing that creates the outcome is the daily practice you commit to.

Is social media dying? Has it gone past its use-by date? It seems that there's ever more division and complexity, and you have to ask...is it really adding value?

Many times, the problem lies in the misconception of what agile truly offers and the failure to communicate its value effectively. We need to bridge the gap between what we're delivering and what businesses actually find valuable...

Why do big organizations struggle with agility? Big Agile frequently falls short. Scaling frameworks don't really help. Let's explore the characteristics of large organizations and the people who work there so we can see why Big Agile doesn't fit big enterprise - and what you can do about it.

I'm a little biased, but there are certain things a training experience MUST do in order to delivery lasting value.

If your ship is sinking, you don't want to cling to the rails and hope everything will be ok. Let me show you what to do next.

The industry is facing a crowded market, a decline in quality of work, and a lack of focus on outcomes. We still tend to overthink and over-document, leading to a lack of actual delivery. Get ready for an eye-opening discussion that will leave you questioning the state of the agile biz.

As an agile practitioner, you have a duty to lead and to make real change. I think we're most imminently qualified to bring real cultural and social change to our workplaces...and beyond.
