  1. Do you know what Agile means for your organisation?
  2. Do you know what to do to become more Agile?
  3. Are you feeling confused by the terminology?
  4. Have you heard about Agile brands like Scrum and Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®) but don’t know what they mean?
  5. Do you know who to involve in developing your Agile approach?

A key part of the cultural transformations that Melanie Franklin is involved in is the desire to become more Agile. A common issue across all these transformations is the confusion around what Agile is and what it will mean for the organisation.

In this webinar Melanie is going to start with the basics explaining:

  1. The different Agile brands,
  2. The principles of Agile working and
  3. How this translates into Agile processes and a lifecycle model.

She will differentiate between development and project implementation and show how change management is a critical element of effective Agile working.

Melanie will also use examples to show how Agile can be applied to all sorts of initiatives and that it is not just for IT.
