I wanted to talk about how when organisations want to be truly Agile, it ain't about putting Jira in, mandating its use & bosch - you're Agile. A recent discussion in the pub with a buddy of mine found that he was going through some org challenges, & Jira was being penned as a panacea. Well we've talked about this before right? It's not. So let's find out why. In this short podcast I refer to two great articles, & these are listed below. As always, thanks for listening & see you on the next one.Follow Mario De’Cristofano: 🔗 LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariodecristofano 🐦 Twitter/X:https://twitter.com/mariodc 📸 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/mariodc ✍️ Medium: https://medium.com/@mariodecristofano 🧠 Blog:https://www.mariosblog.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
