Thank you Justin

I think the decision-maker buy-in is less of an issue now than it was 5 years ago. 'Agile' has almost become the default approach for IT projects, whether it's the best suited approach or not. Also I think it remains poorly understood. Try, for example, simply stating that Agile isn't a delivery methodology but an approach or philosophy and see what reaction you get.

I am exploring Agile for operations outside of software development. As a Lean trained leader, I see some parallels. Oddly enough, so far, Agile looks like the training I got as a Naval officer, especially follow-up/status updates. It also reminds me of a lecture I heard from motivational speaker Zig Ziggler. He created a competition between 2 teams, "bring me a freshly baked loaf of bread". Team 1 sat down and made a shopping list. Team 2 headed to the grocery store without a list. When team 2 got to the grocery store they realized it had a bakery and made fresh baked bread. Instead of buying ingredients, they bought the bread and won. Where else can I do some free learning before I decide to commit to anything else:?
