A first look at Agile
Previously listed duration: half a day
Introduction to Agile methods
When people see priorities and responsibilities differently, it helps to start with one example from the team’s work. Talk through who the work is for, how people work together, and what the team could learn by trying a small change.
What could we look at?
We use a simple example from your work. The team looks at who needs the result, where people need to work together, and what they still need to find out.
Questions we can explore
- Agile values and how they can guide a conversation about real work.
- Basic Scrum ideas and words the team can use together.
- One small change the team can try and review.
If the team is not sure Scrum is the answer, start by understanding the problem and deciding what to look at next.
Practice, feedback and AI
This session does not ask the team to adopt a new process. We choose a discussion or exercise that helps the team work out what to do next.
Use one real example: who needs the work, what the team hopes to change, what it is assuming, and one small thing to try. AI may suggest options; people decide what fits and check the result. We choose the exercise after the first conversation.
Read the Agile Manifesto.
Agree what the team needs
In the first conversation, we ask what the team wants to improve, which example to use, and who should take part. Then we agree what to cover. The session is shaped around that conversation.
