Agile is dead - it’s like that one joke everyone has heard a million times - overused and rapidly losing its hook factor.

Tune in to the latest episode of The Delivery Space podcast, where we unpack this topic with our special guests, Christiaan Verwijs and Johannes Schartau, and ask ourselves why now might be the worst time to abandon Agile.

We cover:

📌 Is Agile Dead? - Tackling the question head-on and exploring whether Agile is truly obsolete or simply evolving.

📌 Why Didn’t It Work for Us? - Many organisations claim Agile didn't work for them. It may not be for everyone, but deeper reflection can help us surface and drive behaviours and practices to achieve agility, even in small measures, to give teams confidence and empower them to pursue our business goals.

📌 Evidence-Based Success - Christiaan refers to data-driven evidence showing that Agile teams tend to outperform in several key metrics, from customer satisfaction to team morale.

📌 The Real Role of Agile Coaches - Johannes sheds light on the often misunderstood role of Agile coaches and why they are crucial for genuine transformation. There is a critical difference between truly effective Agile practices and coaching and those that merely create a false sense of progress by focusing on the happy clappy team happiness stuff and less on understanding the purpose of the practices.

🌟About Our Guests🌟

Johannes is an Agile Coach, international speaker, complexity and integral thinker, Liberating Structures user, and Zombie Scrum fighter!

Christian enjoys igniting positive change in teams and organisations. It is his strong belief that people should be empowered to drive change themselves, rather than being told by management or consultants how to change. His mission is to liberate the world from ineffective and demotivating workplaces by helping organisations find better ways to tap into the creativity, intelligence, and wisdom of people.

Together they are the co-authors of the "Zombie Scrum Survival Guide" along with Barry Overeem.
