In Rethinking Agile, Klaus Leopold takes a bold and refreshing look at Agile methodologies, questioning their ability to truly deliver business agility.
Leopold explains that simply implementing Agile practices at the team level isn't enough for an organization to adapt to shifting market conditions or align strategic goals with daily operations.
One of the primary distinctions Leopold makes is between being Agile at the team level and achieving business agility.
To achieve true agility, organizations need to embed Agile principles across every level—strategic, tactical, and operational.
Leopold advocates adopting a systems thinking mindset, which views the organization as interconnected.
The book also digs into common pitfalls organizations face when adopting Agile practices.
For leaders looking to create an Agile environment, Leopold offers actionable advice.
