Why Working Agile is the way forward

In a fast paced and ever changing business landscape, organisations are continuously searching for ways to improve efficiency and adaptability. One methodology that has gained significant traction in recent years is Agile. 

This approach emphasises iterative, flexible, and collaborative work processes, resulting in a more effective way of getting things done. Moreover, Agile work practices positively affect human engagement, creating a more motivated and satisfied workforce.

Agile work practices emphasise the importance of strong communication and collaboration. Cross-functional teams work closely together, holding regular meetings and check-ins to discuss progress, share ideas, and address challenges. This collaborative environment allows for faster decision making, higher quality outputs, and increased innovation.

Trust, Transparency, and Developmental Dialogue: the pillars of Agile success

While Agile is a great way of working, success does not come by implementing new systems and processes alone. Too often, people rely on the Agile system and structure to “fix” tensions and misalignments within a team and, given that there is not necessarily a simple line of command, progress slows down or even stops.

Therefore re:lead always includes Trust and developing dialogue into agile practices that we help implement.

Agile practises that we support

• Meetings, eg. Tactical and Governance Meetings

• Tension-driven Huddles

• Roles, Domains and Accountabilities

• Software and platform implementation

Trust, transparency, and open communication are essential ingredients for Agile success. By cultivating a work environment that values these three principles, organisations can unlock the full potential of Agile work practices, fostering a more engaged and productive workforce. As a result, teams can navigate the complexities of today's dynamic business landscape with confidence, and deliver exceptional results while remaining agile in the face of change.
