I was on the Agile Uprising podcast this past Sunday, discussing my most recent book. See (and hear!): Project Lifecycles with Johanna Rothman.
I had a great time discussing the issues with Jay and Claudia. Some of what we discussed:
- That managers want agility but do not care about any agile methods or frameworks.
- While we might think “agile” is another project organization method—or lifecycle—it's not. Agility requires a cultural change. And the people in teams cannot lead that organizational cultural change.
- Every team has options for how they can create more agility, even if the organizational culture cannot change.
And much more.
Go listen now: Project Lifecycles with Johanna Rothman. Enjoy!
