About this episode
In this episode, Oliver Cronk is joined by Josie Walledge, Catherine Pratt and Dave Ogle to explore whether Agile has lost its meaning – or worse, become a dirty word. With years of combined experience, the panel reflects on Agile's evolution from a revolutionary mindset to a sometimes rigid and misunderstood process.
They unpack common misconceptions, like Agile being synonymous with speed or chaos, and discuss how frameworks like Scrum and SAFe can either empower or constrain teams. The conversation highlights the importance of planning, governance, and trust, emphasising that Agile works best when it's flexible, outcome-focused, and tailored to context.
Whether you're deep in delivery or just curious about Agile's relevance today, this episode offers practical insights and candid reflections that go well beyond the hype.
