Hands-On Agile 2025: Instilling Agility, Common Strategy Mistakes, Disempowered Teams<\/h2>\r\n\r\n

Johanna Rothman: Fake \u201cAgile\u201d is the Norm: How to Instill Agility, not Agile Practices<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

Summary<\/h4>\r\n\r\n

Is your team or project supposed to \u201cbe agile?\u201d You might not feel that way if you have a years-long backlog, standups are individual status reports, and everyone is still multitasking. The people on the project want to do great work. But how you work feels a lot like an \u201cagile\u201d death march.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

There\u2019s a reason you feel that way. You\u2019re using fake agility\u2014a waterfall lifecycle masquerading as an agile approach. Worse, fake agility is the norm in our industry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

No one has to work that way. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Your management does not care about \u201cagile\u201d\u2014but they care a lot about agility. Instead of fake agile, you can assess your culture, project, and product risks to select a different approach. You can choose how to collaborate, so you can iterate over features and when to deliver value. When you do, you are more likely to discover actual agility and an easier way to work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Learning Objectives:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

    \r\n\t
  1. Have a clear understanding of the different lifecycles and when to use each.<\/li>\r\n\t
  2. Be able to assess your project, product, and portfolio risks.<\/li>\r\n\t
  3. Know how to customize a lifecycle based on the unique culture and requirements of the team.<\/li>\r\n\t
  4. How to create shorter feedback loops in any lifecycle for product success.<\/li><\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n
