Agile Leadership & Methodology: How to Lead Your Team to Thrive
Wednesday, November 27th, 2019 at 5:30 p.m.
We had a great crowd joining us on November 27th, 2019 to Learn How You Can Outperform Your Competitors in 2020 by Adopting an Agile Framework and Leadership.
Jalapeño pairs workplace engagement analytics with full-service consulting to unlock your team’s inner potential.
We had the pleasure of welcoming three panellists and a speaker from diverse industries to discuss the agile framework. Have you already heard the buzz word!? What happens when organizations believe they have adopted an agile framework but continue to follow processes typical of a waterfall model? Our discussion will center on the detrimental outcomes that can be caused when an agile framework is not fully implemented… such as going over budget, expensive employee turnover, missing project deadlines and making key clients unhappy.
OUR TOPIC OF DISCUSSION
Agile teams are extremely common in the tech world; however, the use of this framework in other industries is not yet well-known. If well implemented, an agile framework can help the team respond to unpredictable and fast-changing market needs. While our speaker shared a real case study, the panels shared insights on how they have implemented the agile framework with their team, the challenges they have overcome and the opportunities they have cultivated over time.
What we learned:
- Why companies lean towards Agile and whether this structure is applicable to every company and industry
- The obstacles of the Agile structure and how to overcome them
- When organizations should use Agile methodology
- How to keep employees working in Agile teams engaged
- The necessary team processes, practices and leadership styles that are essential to cultivating a successful Agile culture
Everyone was invited to share their diverse experience in this interactive discussion and game (provided by The Strong-Game) on building and managing agile teams.
