Modern Agile Tutorial

Much has changed since the publishing of the Agile Manifesto in 2001. Pioneers and practitioners of lean and agile methods have examined weaknesses and friction points, experimented with simpler approaches, and produced agile processes that are safer, simpler and far more capital efficient. The result is modern agile. It’s values-driven, non-prescriptive and an easier starting point than antiquated agile processes. Modern agile amplifies the values and practices of organizations that have discovered better ways to get awesome results. Are you still cramming low-quality work in the end of each sprint, struggling with growing technical debt, arguing about “definition of done” or frustrated that “management/product never gives us time to do it right?” In this 1-day tutorial, you will learn to deliver awesome results by • experiencing how the four values of modern agile guide decisions, • increasing safety in your culture, code and products, • identifying friction points and simplifying your process, • engage the entire team to continually uncover better ways of working.
