But wait! Come back! Agile is actually so much more than just lingo—it’s a work philosophy that can radically improve how your team works together.  \nAgile started as a reaction against the traditional waterfall methodology of delivering software, which favors long release cycles over incremental iterations. Rather than waiting months or years to deliver a full suite of software products (that are often riddled with bugs), for example, an Agile team delivers work in smaller, more manageable chunks. This enables teams to collaborate closely with their customers, develop a product plan and strategy in real time, and make adjustments as needed.  \nWhether the endpoint for your organization looks like co-location, fully remote, hybrid, or some futuristic model our feeble twenty-first century brains can barely comprehend, embracing an Agile mindset will start you on the track to success.  \n1  \n01:  \nWhy Agile?  \n02:Intentional collaboration  \n03:  \nWhat’s next? Inspect, adapt, improve.  \n2  \n01  \nWhy Agile?  \n3  \n01: Why Agile?  \nThe four values and 12 principles at the  heart of Agile were created by and for software engineers. Over the past 20 years, though, Agile has successfully spread to just about every industry and function, thanks in large part to the Scrum Guide. Developed in the 1990s, Scrum is an Agile methodology that focuses on completing goals within set periods of time, called sprints. The 2010 Scrum Guide brought Scrum to the masses, allowing teams and organizations to operationalize Agile concepts.  \nIf you’re new to Scrum (or want a refresher), this resource will help get you started. Scrum is a lightweight framework that accelerates productivity and innovation, improves communication, removes the things that slow work down (known as impediments), and forces clear prioritization.  \nMost importantly, Scrum is a flexible (dare we say … agile?) system that can adapt to the way your team works best.  It empowers teams to decide exactly how they do  the work to achieve their sprint and product goals (more on these later). This alone can greatly improve an organization’s culture from the ground up. With Scrum, teams can conquer the biggest challenges raised by the new era of work: collaboration, intentionality, and sustainability.  \nOver the past 20 years, though, Agile has successfully spread to just about every industry and function, thanks in large part to the Scrum Guide.  \n4  \n02  \nIntentional collaboration  \n5  \n02: Intentional collaboration  \nAssembling ateam is just the first step it takes an intentional collaboration strategy to really bring members together.  \nLet’s take a look at the four biggest issues impacting collaboration and how Scrum can help your team overcome them.  \nIssue 1: Teamwork  \nFrom the ‘96 Bulls to the Avengers to Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff, what do the most successful teams have in common? The ability to collaborate effectively and accomplish things together that could never be achieved by working alone. In the not-so-distant past, co-location was seen as the best way to create an environment where effective collaboration flourished. And while the ‘96 Bulls may not have been super effective as a distributed team, for the rest of us, it turns out location isn't nearly as important a factor as we once believed.  \nThese days, it seems that shared workspace—more than workplace—is the defining characteristic that supports effective collaboration, especially when it comes to distributed or hybrid teams. That is to say, technology has made it entirely possible to work together without being together. However, emphasizing the workspace over the workplace d","cbCairWc0YxFcnBw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairWc0YxFcnBw","pdf",319359,"English","# Introduction\n## Why Agile?\n## Intentional collaboration\n## What’s next?
