Description

“Agile” is one of the buzziest workplace practices today - all about moving fast and breaking things, and iterating to perfection. The practice has picked up fans and detractors, as more and more companies have left waterfall methodologies in their wake. But is agile the way to go for all teams, and can it actually scale? Host Christine Dela Rosa moderates a fiery debate between Kelvin Yap and Dominique Ward over the limitations and opportunities of agile at scale.In this episode, you'll also hear from Lutron Electronics' Ben Bard about how scaling agile united his company's hardware and software teams, and from Excella's Nicole Spence-Goon about the empowerment that scaled agile gives teams. Harvard's Dr. Heidi K. Gardner joins to share her research about the failure rate of scaling agile; and agile coach Matthias Orgler illustrates the risks of being fake agile, or "fragile." For the transcript and downloadable takeaways, visit https://www.atlassian.com/blog/podcast/work-check.

Our workplaces today are changing fast - but which changes are actually going to serve us best? Work Check takes your most pressing questions about the ways we work together and hashes out the best arguments on either side. Join host Christine Dela Rosa and a team of debaters to challenge the status quo on the ways you think about or show up for work. It’s never been more important to think about the ways we interact with our teammates, whether we’re heading back to the office or staying remote. So this season we’re debating questions like: Should you really wear PJs to a work zoom? Could the 4-day work week be a game changer for your team? And, should you only give your coworker feedback to their face? All that and more on this season of Work Check.
