About this listen

Agile was supposed to make organizations faster. Instead, many enterprises are slower, more complex, and harder to manage than ever.

Agile That Works is an executive playbook for leaders who are accountable for delivery results and need Agile to perform, not create bureaucracy. Written for CIOs, VPs, directors, and senior leaders, this audiobook cuts through jargon and Agile theater to focus on what actually drives speed, alignment, and measurable business impact.

Drawing on decades of real-world executive leadership across large-scale enterprise transformations, Evan Farr Smith presents the DO CREATIVE Agile Model, a practical, ten-pillar operating system designed to reconnect strategy to delivery. Each pillar addresses a critical leadership concern, including clear deliverables, healthy delivery cadence, risk visibility, governance, prioritization, and continuous improvement.

This audiobook shows you how to restore delivery speed, scale teams without chaos, govern with leading indicators instead of vanity metrics, and turn Agile from a buzzword into a competitive advantage. The guidance is practical, outcome-driven, and built for leaders who must make decisions under pressure.

Whether you lead a single division or an entire enterprise, Agile That Works provides a clear, disciplined approach to fixing broken Agile and delivering results that matter.
