Topic: Has Agile Betrayed its Primary Value?
Abstract:
The first core value of Agile software development as stated by the Agile Manifesto is: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools. But in the West have processes and tools won out over individuals and interactions? Did focusing on Individuals lead us to lose sight of the people we work alongside?
This talk will explore the following themes:
· Lessons and tips we can learn from collectivist cultures on how to build deeper connections with others, increase relatability and inclusivity to break down team and organisational silos
· Areas where our own culture and norms may be hindering the outcomes we are striving for
· How to manage your own self-complexity amid organisational complexity, read the needs of the situation and be more impactful
