What is agile and do you really need it? And if yes, when? And how?!
These were some of the questions we explored during our last Collaboration Circle with Lex Gleixner and Sabine Muth.

The answer is “to survive” in our constantly and quickly changing world. The question is “why is being agile important for organisations and how should they reconsider their organisational setup and design?”.
The “How” was our focus in our Collaboration Circle with Jurgen Appelo, who deeply inspired us by sharing his work and the approach he developed: the unFIX model.
