Quo Vadis, Agility?

February 25, 2021 By Anurag Shrivastava

Agile, it existed long before the manifesto, but did not yet have the name.
Agility, it will still exist long after Agile will have become something of the past.
What was the purpose of the movement when the manifesto was crafted? And now?
The agile way of working, way of thinking, is slowly evolving from its IT background into general mainstream. Slowly evolving from IT-heavy sectors into other areas, not IT heavy.
After 20 years, we’re still talking tools, techniques, methods, principles, yes principles everywhere. No principles no glory. Agile Wars between methods, all united against traditionalism. Many have seen the light. Much has evolved. We’ve learned so much. We’ve developed so much. We’ve reused so much.
So for a couple of years, we are now talking about agile businesses, agile organisations. That’s our new horizon. Organisations and businesses that need to survive in the VUCA world turn to agility. And yet, there’s still doing agile and being agile. And what’s wrong in doing agile when you’re not being agile? Or vice versa? Although we’re growing up, we’re sometimes still dogs learning new tricks. To what avail?
Can we have a look beyond the horizon? What might be there? What will we keep, what will we throw away? What will last beyond the word Agile? What are the real problems the world is facing, and can agility play a role in solving those?

SPEAKER
Peter Coesmans is just a nice man, playing bass guitar, helping organisations to improve. He was involved with agile before snow bird, and will be involved in agile long after agility has gone. He does not believe in methods and tools doing any good, although he likes to use some of them. And he was even (co-)authoring some of them. He joined up with “the enemy” and was very active in IPMA, the International Project Management Association, amongst other things being lead author for the international programme management standard and being an assessor for projects all over the world. Sheer heresy! So, he returned to the mothership as director for the agile business consortium. He is locked away in his own little room trying to survive the pandemic, and make the world a better place while he’s here anyway.

RTP ALN Open Space: The Pandemic and Onward

February 19, 2021 By Anurag Shrivastava

The Raleigh Durham (RTP – Research Triangle Park) Chapter of the Agile Leadership Network is hosting our annual OpenSpace Conference. This year the conference is coordinated with the Agile20Reflect Festival.

Our organizing theme is “The Pandemic and Onward.” For many in technology, remote working and distributed teams are familiar territory. In other business sectors, like financial and manufacturing, the pandemic isolation has been a disruption. For personal services and hospitality, its been nothing short of a disaster.

Outside of business, the pandemic has turned the modern dilemma of a person who is “alone in a crowd” into a person who is “in a crowd alone.” Our contact with others is mediated through apps and telecommunication devices. At one time we have never been more connected while being so apart.

And, yet, we see adaptation, innovation, and change: theaters stream live performances and musicians sell concerts from their living rooms; Zoom has become synonymous with on-line conferencing with families and friends; schools consider a future where there are no more snow days.

How has the pandemic disrupted the workplace? What role has Agile played in the response to the disruption? Which of these changes are lasting? What does the Future of Work look like after the pandemic has ended?

Join us to explore the past, present, and future of Agile through the lens of the global pandemic and our response to it.

Increasing Business Agility for a Sustainable Competitive Advantage

February 18, 2021 By Anurag Shrivastava

In this presentation, Jamie will explain how adopting, and adapting the businessagility.works® framework can enable larger and slower organisations to make the shift towards a ‘more agile’ operating model that can help you keep up with the competition.

Being agile is an inherent trait of all start-ups. With a small cross-functional team that are close to their customers they can; implement new ideas quickly, scale rapidly, challenge industry leaders and increasingly come out victorious. In our digital world, it is no longer the big fish that eats the small fish, it is the fast fish that eat the slow.

In this presentation, Jamie will explain how adopting, and adapting the businessagility.works® framework can enable larger and slower organisations to make the shift towards a ‘more agile’ operating model that can help you keep up with the competition.
