Building Strong Agile Foundations
Agile transformations are about people. Frameworks and practices can help, but a successful transformation starts and ends with the individuals, teams, and leaders who bring the change to life. One of the most powerful tools you already have for facilitating change is your vocabulary and your word choice. eBay exec and Agile Alliance board member Paul Hammond reveals how to create strong foundations for a strong, agile transformation through careful consideration and selection of your team or organizational agile vocabulary.
