March 8, 2023 (Virtual): How Agile Improves Your Organization’s Viability w/Damon Poole

How Agile Improves Your Organization’s Viability

There are many reasons for making changes. One reason is people's happiness. However, the main reason an organization pursues any initiative is to increase its viability. In this session, we’ll look at how you can calculate the financial impact of Agile techniques such as MVPs, delivering frequently, and limiting WIP. You’ll work in small groups to consider potential changes and how they may increase your organization’s viability. Considering the financial impact of potential changes can help you prioritize which changes you will advocate for and increase the organization's support for those changes.
