AGILE FOUNDATION@andreaprovaglio

WHAT I DO

I help IT organizations to find and implement better ways of doing business.

I coach teams and individuals who want to improve technically and relationally.

In 20+ years in IT, I had clients in three continents and a U.S. work visa for “extraordinary abilities in Sciences”.

No WIP Limit, no Kanban

Maximize throughput, not

capacity

COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS

16

18

IN AGILE WE DON’T PLAN

We do make plans and we are also ready to change them.

IN AGILE WE DON’T WRITE SPECIFICATIONS

We write just enough specification and we refine it more and more as we go.

AGILE IS A METHODOLOGY

Agile is a set of core values, principles and practices that bring forward an organizational cultural shift.

AGILE DOESN'T REQUIRE MANAGEMENT

All projects need management of cost, time, risk, resources. Agile adds the empowerment of the knowledge workers and requires a different kind of leadership.

AGILE INCREASES EFFICIENCY

It does as a result of transparency, feedback and collaboration, not as a quick-win booster.
