Agile Alliance

What problems is enterprise agility designed to solve that agile practices alone cannot address? One is “enterprise debt.” Policies, governance structures, funding models, and ways of prioritizing work are usually created for valid reasons. But over time, those layers can accumulate, slow decisions, and make it harder for an organization to respond to change. In this clip, Denise Jarvie explains why enterprise agility is not simply about scaling agile practices, introducing another framework, or training everyone in a new method. It is about enabling the organization to sense, decide, and adapt. 👉 Read the Manifesto for Enterprise Agility: https://lnkd.in/g86fmp9W Watch Denise’s conversation with Denis Lassance, PMP, Ir, PhD Lassance from Project Management Institute Europe Page. 🎞️ Watch the full video: https://lnkd.in/gJ4MhR7g #EnterpriseAgility #Agile #Governance #OrganizationalAgility #ProjectManagement

AI can plan a whole retro in 2 minutes. Most of these plans are rubbish. ⠀ The agenda comes out clean. The timings add up. And the session still falls flat, because it could have been written for any team anywhere. ⠀ Three things I give the AI before I ask it for a single line: ⠀ → What actually happened in the last few weeks. The real tension, not "we want to improve collaboration". → What people should walk out with. A decision, two actions, or a conversation that has been avoided for a month. → Who is in the room. Six people who trust each other need a different session than fifteen who were just reorganised. ⠀ With that in front of it, Copilot writes the agenda, the facilitation guide, the timings, the board and the instructions for participants. You get a quality output in minutes instead of hours. ⠀ Without it, you get the same four-column template that has been on every board since 2015. ⠀ I ran these sessions inside software teams for six years. What made a retro work was knowing what the team needed to talk about that week, and AI only gets there if you tell it. ⠀ The one part AI cannot do is read the room. Noticing who went quiet, dropping an exercise that is clearly not working, sitting in the silence a bit longer. That stays with the human facilitator, and that is the part worth preparing for (but AI can help with that as well). ⠀ When you use AI for a workshop, do you hand it the real team context, or do you still write the session yourself and only let it tidy up the wording? ⠀ On Thursday I am building one live for Agile Alliance, from a blank page to a ready-to-run retro in 15 minutes, and it is free to join for Agile Alliance Members. The link is in the first comment. ⠀ 👉 Want to learn how to use Claude as a system? Join my free Skool community, link is in my Featured section. 👉 Don't have time to learn and build with AI?

What if the problem you’re trying to solve… isn’t actually the problem? Teams often move quickly from “something isn’t working” to “here’s the fix.” But when the diagnosis is wrong, even a well-executed solution can waste time, money, and energy. In “You Are Probably Solving the Wrong Problem,” Kimberly Andrikaitis shares a practical way to slow down just enough to question assumptions, test hypotheses, and use small experiments to uncover what’s really going on. If you’ve ever watched a team invest heavily in training, process changes, or new tools only to discover the real issue was somewhere else, this session is worth watching. ▶️ Watch the video: https://lnkd.in/gc2dJdYZ The video is free for Agile Alliance members. 👉 Not a member?

What if you could go from a blank page to a ready-to-run retrospective in 15 minutes? On August 27, Dorota Mleczko will build a retro live from scratch, using Microsoft Copilot. No slides. No theory. You’ll watch the agenda, facilitation plan, board, and participant instructions come together in real time, then see how to adapt the approach for your own work. If workshop prep keeps stealing more time than it should, this is a practical look at what AI can actually take off your plate. 📅 Thursday, August 27 ⏰ 11:00 am ET 💻 Virtual 🎟️ Free for Agile Alliance members 👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/gr4ra9Ay

Your team learned something important. Now, how long does it take the organization to act on it? In this clip from a PMI Europe conversation, Denise Jarvie and Denis Lassance, PMP, Ir, PhD Lassance discuss one of the clearest barriers to enterprise agility: decision latency. Decision latency is the time it takes to move from learning or insight to action. For practitioners, this is where a lot of Agile work gets stuck. Teams gather feedback, surface risks, learn from delivery, or spot a better path forward. But if decisions take too long, the organization cannot move at the speed the teams are learning. Enterprise agility asks whether the organization can sense change, make decisions, and act while it still matters. 👉 Download the Manifesto for Enterprise Agility: https://lnkd.in/gU8AkEgh 🎞️ Watch the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/gzc6uc75 #EnterpriseAgility #AgileAlliance #DecisionMaking

I had the pleasure of attending my first conference, PMI Agile 2026, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I met knowledgeable engineers and leaders from a diverse set of companies, from startups to enterprises, and really enjoyed conversations about what’s working (and what’s not) across their organizations. I went in looking for new ideas and came out with both new perspectives to apply and validation that many of the practices we already use are working well. The teams I work with do an excellent job empowering people to execute while staying adaptable. I’m already putting some of what I learned into practice, including treating project context like a real version-controlled asset. I attended some phenomenal sessions, most notably the keynote, “The Fourth Value: Human Magic in the Age of Algorithms,” presented by Dr. Johan Roos. His point was that “human magic” should be enhanced by AI, not replaced by it. It boils down to getting sharper at the parts only humans can do and letting AI amplify those strengths. #PMIAgile2026 #Agile #AILeadership #ProductManagement

One thing that stood out to me after PMI Agile 2026 is that some of the best opportunities don't end when the conference does. The conversations that started there are opening doors for new relationships, new ideas, and new ways to strengthen the agile community. Over the coming weeks, I'll be connecting with organizations that are interested in exploring how they can get more involved through membership, sponsorship, and strategic partnerships with Agile Alliance. Whether you're looking to invest in your team's professional growth, increase your organization's visibility, or collaborate with a community that's passionate about advancing agility, I'd love to start that conversation. If your organization has ever been curious about Agile Alliance, let's connect. I'd love to learn more about your goals and explore how we can work together. #PMIAgile2026 #AgileAlliance #Membership #Sponsorship #Partnerships #Community https://lnkd.in/eNiw3T7X

Artificial intelligence is changing the way we build, decide, and lead at a pace few organizations are prepared for. Productivity metrics are climbing. Delivery cycles are shrinking. Yet beneath the promise of efficiency, important questions are emerging. Join this virtual fireside conversation with Alex Sloley, Craig Smith, and Shane Hastie, where they plan to dig into: 👉 The productivity mirage. AI tripled the code output and quadrupled the defects. What “faster” is actually costing us, and who owns quality when the machine writes it. 👉 The accountability gap. When AI drafts the code, the story, or the decision, who is answerable when it goes wrong? Ethics needs a clear owner, not responsibility quietly diffused into the tool. 👉 Where Agile lost its moral compass. How a movement founded on people and interactions drifted, and what it would take to find the way back. 👉 Ethics as a leadership discipline, not a slide. The governance and guardrails corporate and government teams genuinely need before AI scales past them. 👉 Coaching through the contraction. Staying useful, honest, and employable while the ground shifts under the profession. Agile Alliance members can attend this virtual session for FREE!

Agile helps teams learn and deliver. Enterprise agility helps the whole organization turn learning into action. In this clip from a PMI Europe conversation, Denise Jarvie and Denis Lassance, PMP, Ir, PhD Lassance discuss a simple distinction: Agile is about how teams, or teams of teams, work. Enterprise agility is about how the whole organization senses change, makes decisions, and adapts at scale. For practitioners, that difference matters. A team can learn quickly and deliver well, but if the organization cannot act on what the team is learning, progress slows down. Priorities drift. Decisions wait. Value gets stuck. The goal is to shorten the distance between learning and action. 👉 Download the Manifesto for Enterprise Agility: https://lnkd.in/gAs9qCBj 🎞️ Watch the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/gR_jzK9p #EnterpriseAgility #AgileAlliance #ValueDelivery
