What we believe
Agile makes innovation predictable
Innovation starts with people, not technology
Agility is more about culture than ceremonies
Money & magic need to happen together
Enterprise agility works in a package
While innovation happens in a very non-linear way, it doesn't have to be a black box. Gather insights consequently, ideate and test systematically for predictable outcomes.
Delivering the thing right means nothing without delivering the right thing. Starting from the needs of customers and not from technology is the core principle of human-centered design.
Establishing an Agile culture, mindset and attitude of teams is much more important than enforcing the Scrum practices.
Innovation is successful only when you solve a customer need while keeping in mind the business goals.
You need the right tribe structures, enterprise agile governance, cross-functional teams, culture of collaboration and empowerment, and technology to make enterprise agile work.
We support the Agnostic Agile Oath
As experienced agile practitioners and as people responsible for agile change and transformation, we should recognise the importance of being agnostic with agility at any level. This means one size does not fit all, one framework is not the answer, and the ‘what’ and ‘how’ should be suited to customer context and to a wider strategic vision.
