Agile is dead - it’s like that one joke everyone has heard a million times - overused and rapidly losing its hook factor.
Tune in to the latest episode of The Delivery Space podcast, where we unpack this topic with our special guests, Christiaan Verwijs and Johannes Schartau, and ask ourselves why now might be the worst time to abandon Agile.
We cover:
📌 Is Agile Dead? - Tackling the question head-on and exploring whether Agile is truly obsolete or simply evolving.
📌 Why Didn’t It Work for Us? - Many organisations claim Agile didn't work for them. It may not be for everyone, but deeper reflection can help us surface and drive behaviours and practices to achieve agility, even in small measures, to give teams confidence and empower them to pursue our business goals.
📌 Evidence-Based Success - Christiaan refers to data-driven evidence showing that Agile teams tend to outperform in several key metrics, from customer satisfaction to team morale.
📌 The Real Role of Agile Coaches - Johannes sheds light on the often misunderstood role of Agile coaches and why they are crucial for genuine transformation. There is a critical difference between truly effective Agile practices and coaching and those that merely create a false sense of progress by focusing on the happy clappy team happiness stuff and less on understanding the purpose of the practices.
🌟About Our Guests🌟
Johannes is an Agile Coach, international speaker, complexity and integral thinker, Liberating Structures user, and Zombie Scrum fighter!
Christian enjoys igniting positive change in teams and organisations. It is his strong belief that people should be empowered to drive change themselves, rather than being told by management or consultants how to change. His mission is to liberate the world from ineffective and demotivating workplaces by helping organisations find better ways to tap into the creativity, intelligence, and wisdom of people.
Together they are the co-authors of the "Zombie Scrum Survival Guide" along with Barry Overeem.

⭐️Jay Abbasi joined Nisha Joshi and Sharon Williams to share tips on negotiating conflict, to get the best out of these situations and move our teams towards the most optimum outcomes.
In 2014, Jay's father passed away suddenly from a heart attack. It was devastating. At the time, his marriage was falling apart, he was working at a job that didn’t fulfil him, and he was thousands of dollars in debt. This began a search to uncover a methodology to find success and fulfilment in life. The methodology he discovered changed his life completely. It led to him joining Tesla and in under 4 years he worked his way up to running national training programs, responsible for the development and execution of training/coaching programs for approximately 1,000 employees throughout North America. It also led to him finding peace, contentment, and fulfilment no matter the external circumstances. Now, Jay's mission is to leverage his skills and expertise to help professionals build careers they love while avoiding stress, anxiety, and burnout through 1 on 1 coaching and group coaching programs.We discussed:📌 Conflict that’s not immediately visible. How we can shed light on the ‘elephant in the room’ and use it more constructively.📌 The ‘sweet spot’ between taking a stand and suppressing📌 The role language plays in conflict resolution📌 Advice for those who are uncomfortable with handling conflict in teams

Back by popular demand: Charles-Louis De Maere returns for series 4!
During this chat with Nisha, he talks about the importance of pivoting during facilitation sessions, obtaining the right balance of clarity and vagueness, and you'll hear an (initially shocking) but very interesting story about his time in Niger.
Here are some key highlights:
Global Facilitation Experiences: Charles Louis shares his unique facilitation experiences in various countries, highlighting the importance of adapting to different cultural contexts.Embracing Vagueness: Charles Louis discusses ‘Kishotenketsu’ an organic narrative storyteller's pattern originating from China that has shown to be ideal for learning. The aspect of 'Kishotenketsu', Charles Louis talks about is emphasising the value of being 'vague enough' to foster creativity and engagement in facilitation. (See comments for a ten-day workshop design and facilitation program offered by Charles Louis and Francis Laleman who gradually developed over the last few decades)Impactful Stories: Charles recounts impactful stories from his facilitation work, including experiences in Peru and Niger, illustrating the diverse applications and profound impact of effective facilitation.Facilitation in Diverse Settings: The discussion also touches upon facilitating in various settings, including for NGOs in South and Southeast Asia, and adapting to online facilitation during lockdowns.What happens when things don’t go to plan and you have to pivot?: Charles-Louis mentions running facilitation skills training programs, focusing on the practical aspects of facilitation and how to handle unexpected challenges.Follow Charles-Louis on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charleslouisdemaere/
