Real Life PMP

In Part 1 of this series, I sit down with Mike Lyons to dive into his experience working with tech development teams and the current state of agile. We discuss the nuanced differences between “Big A Agile” (the structured frameworks) and “little a agile” (the mindset of flexibility). Mike offers insights into how sometimes the rigidity of Big A Agile can hinder teams from truly adopting agile practices as intended. And by the way, Missouri is the "Show Me State."  Take a listen!

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
  • The difference between Big A Agile and little a agile: How mindset and structure can either complement or conflict.
  • Does Big A Agile get in the way? Exploring how following frameworks too strictly might stifle agile practices.
  • The current state of agile: What teams need to succeed in today’s fast-paced environment.
