Synopsis
Agile frameworks and mindsets offer alternative and often better ways to plan and deliver change initiatives. With the pace of change refusing to slow in most areas - and accelerated in many areas thanks to the challenges brought on by the pandemic - practitioners must equip themselves with the latest thinking, methods & tools to thrive.
In this session, presenter Melanie Franklin will address frequently asked questions, providing you with easy-to-understand explanations and descriptions that will boost your Agile and Change knowledge, leading to more success with change initiatives.
Questions to be addressed include:
- How does Agile apply to change initiatives?
- How is this different to any other Agile approach?
- What are the most relevant agile techniques for successfully embedding change and realising benefits?
