Session: Tell Me Why - A 21st perspective on Agile
Thursday, 13:00 - 13:50
Track: Agile
Simon Sinek created a TED talk about "The Golden Circle" that asks us to start with WHY we are doing something or creating something before we declare the WHAT. In between these are the HOW, creating 3 concentric circles. In this session, we will apply the Golden Circle to Agile adoption for 21st century innovative companies.
Prerequisites
Some experience with Agile practices
Expectations
Participants will learn a new way to think about how to adopt Agile practices and the guidance they can use for learning to adapt these practices. We will also look at business value in Agile.
