In today’s episode Helene speaks to Farah Egby and Cigdem Saka-Jackson about Agile. They talk about:

• Agile as a set of working practices that prioritises people over processes and tools;

• Farah and Cigdem’s previous work and journeys into Agile facilitation;

• The roles and functions that the “Scrum Master” and “Kanban” play in Agile;

• Roles and techniques in Agile facilitation and tips on how to do it;

"I think you need to care. You have to be a caring person. I definitely don't believe it is, it is a rule book and just a set of applicable guidelines. You have to care about the people you work with and the team you're working with”.

• How Agile can be applied in different contexts including personally.

“There are things that you can also apply to your own life individually, you can stop and have a moment to reflect, even if you don't do it with a formal process”.
