  What does it mean to be Agile? How is an agile team different from an integrated team? What’s all the fuss about and how can I see if agile will help me and my teams?

  About our session

  At the heart of Agility is a fundamental behavior change that encourages continuous feedback loops, iterative & incremental development to deliver customer value. The challenge lies in training and influencing teams to think small, move fast, and embrace AGILITY.
