Workshop

Staying Agile when it gets hard

By now, we have all learned how to reach agile maturity, but what do you do when it starts slipping away? After two decades of agile adoption, we still face the same struggles: code ownership disappears, tests become unreliable, technical debt piles up, and knowledge sharing fades away. This workshop will start with sharing a new model for mentoring agility, focusing on a maturity map, five dimensions (leadership, domain, technology, staff, and social) and three types of interventions—from subtle nudges to crisis-mode reorganization.

We won’t just talk about the later stages of agile maturity! Using Liberating Structures, you’ll assess your own teams, collaborate with peers facing similar challenges, and collect tailored measures to reverse the downward spiral you might currently be facing.
