Is Agile Dead? What's Now, What’s New, What’s Next

Presentation Description: The world changed drastically, and still changing. Organizations at every point, were left with two choices: Change or Die. Then came the “new” kid on the block:Agile. Every organization ran the race transform and become “Agile” with the singular belief that it would help them become better. But according to the 2023 edition of “State of Agility” report, only 59% of the respondents confirmed that Agile is working for them, as against 77% in previous year (2022). Many organizations laid of their Agile Roles (Coaches, Scrum Master etc) while some totally scrapped their Agile CoE (department and practices). In this presentation, wee will look at the adoption, implementation and evolution of Agile, discuss the factors responsible for the trend and finally discuss the new direction that organizations are taking in future proofing their business. This would be thought provoking so, participants are encouraged to come to dialogue, challenge and be challenged.
