In this episode of Project Management Office Hours, Joe Pusz, PMO Joe has a great discussion with special guests Jeremy Wood, Sr Agile Coach with Matrix. Joe and Jeremy have a light-hearted, but informative, discussion on the benefits, challenges, and mindset of Agile. Jeremy also shares details on the upcoming BADD Conference on September 18th presented by the local IIBA Chapter.

As a Sr Agile Coach, Jeremy has extensive experience working with organizations to transform or implement Agile. Agile is a mindset and not a methodology. He shares the distinction between Agile, Scrum, Kanban and how they are utilized within Agile. Jeremy also provides examples of the challenges organizations face with transforming or converting from traditional thinking to an Agile mindset. However, he also shares the benefits. He is realistic in his assessment and does not live in the Utopian world an Agile coach would like to have you think exists. A great insight Jeremy shared is that when using an Agile mindset you are not seeking to implement Best Practices as that would indicate you are done, rather Agile prefers thinking of continuous improvement thinking. Jeremey does a great job in this fast-moving hour-long discussion making the concepts of Agile simple enough to understand and follow along, yet complex enough to get a true understanding of what Agile really is. Listen in to get all the insights and details!
