Presentation Details

Back by popular demand! Our first Lean Coffee session sparked engaging discussions, uncovered key Agile trends, and set the stage for deeper exploration. Now, it’s time to turn insights into action.

In Part 2, we’ll dive deeper into the topics that matter most—Agile Tools & Techniques, Leadership & Culture, and Metrics & Value Delivery—while making space for fresh discussions shaped by YOU. As part of this session, we’ll also explore Agile metrics from both a leadership and team perspective. Which metrics truly drive value? Which ones matter most for Agile leaders versus Agile teams?

To support your learning beyond the session, we’ll highlight relevant PMI.org resources, including their Agile courses and micro-credentials, so you can continue expanding your expertise. You’ll walk away with practical insights, tools, and immediate next steps to apply these metrics effectively in your environments.

Come prepared to share, learn, and collaborate as we push the conversation further. What challenges are you facing? What breakthroughs have you had? Let’s uncover the next big ideas together.
