In this episode of the Centric Biz and Tech Talks podcast, Shawn Wallace<\/a> leads a discussion about the importance of Agile patterns and practices in business.<\/p>\n Centric long-time technologists Matt Miller, Joe Ours<\/a>\u00a0and Chris Urian<\/a> join Shawn to talk about Agile patterns and practices 10 to 15 years after it first took the scene.<\/strong> In this discussion, we talk about Agile<\/a> development– how it got started, what it looks like now, trends, and where it is going in the future.<\/p>\n We reflect on Agile\u2019s development over the years, talking about early stages, such as the need for Organizational Change Management<\/a> (OCM) and learning about how teams work together. Then we dig into the progression of Agile and the need for distributed teams to communicate well and work collaboratively in a global economy.<\/p>\n Finally, we discuss what is next with teams, psychological safety, and the changes in communicating with clients about waterfall versus Agile fixed-scope projects.<\/p>\n However, in the end, the future is still all about speed. It is important to keep speed to market while maintaining quality and innovating quickly, and Agile helps you get there.<\/strong><\/p>\n Join in the discussion on this installment of the podcast!<\/p>\n Listen Here<\/span><\/p>\n\n
