#111 Raging Against Fake Agile with Gillie & Marge
Manage episode 438327578 series 2901400
In this episode, the Mastering Agility Podcast-team discusses various misunderstandings and misapplications of Agile practices, particularly how Agile is often reduced to a set of tools or deadlines rather than its core principles of flexibility and value-driven work.
Key points include:
Agile can be misused to push unfinished work or prioritize speed over quality.
Many companies dehumanize employees by treating them as "resources" or "tools" rather than people.
It's necessary to challenge the status quo and question whether certain processes or features are necessary .
Innovation within organizations requires more than hackathons and "innovation days"
Agile is about responding to change, not just completing work faster. True agility requires the ability to stop work and pivot if needed.
The episode also touches on themes like trust within teams, the pitfalls of bureaucratic decision-making, and how large corporations struggle to implement true Agile principles compared to smaller, nimble organizations.
