In this podcast recorded at the Agile 2018 conference Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Dominic Price from Atlassian about his opening keynote at the Agile 2018 conference.

Why listen to this podcast:

• Agile is an answer to teams working together effectively, but it is not the only answer

• A lot of large-scale “transformations” are about AGILE being thrust around as a compliance regime where the measures of success are the following of rituals

• The example of an organisation who moved from “agile transformation” to “new ways of working”. The difference is that “agile” is not the only answer and in a “transformation” there is an expectation of an end-state whereas new ways of working are continually evolving

• Many of the things we call “soft skills” are in fact very hard and they are the key to success in making change in organisations

• The need to focus on the mental health and wellbeing of people in the organisation – we believe we are custodians of our people
