Audience Takeaways 

Agile works outside of software; personally and professionally!

The original Agile Manifesto (https://agilemanifesto.org/) uses several terms that we can improve to show a more inclusive process in the work we value.

Mark will show how we can update the Agile Manifesto to upgrade it to a form of delivering solutions as a higher priority than only developing software. We can also update all of the uses of the word “change” to the understanding that we are not just changing but improving our long-lived processes of yesterday. We can continue to improve with short-lived processes that deliver defined solutions on a rapid, ongoing, basis.

We will show the shortest timescale can be the most cost-effective! We can continue to measure by complexity and difficulty but not dismiss the time pendulum! Time is our only definite, even beyond taxes, and we can use time as our measurement in a simple format that continues to eliminate overtime and extended hours as we maintain the highest quality.

Let Mark explain how we can utilize the benefits of the Agile Manifesto and improve the processes with a terminology that works for all businesses, all verticals and include solutions beyond just software.
