Let’s face it: we are continually surrounded by change and distractions.
From our personal lives to our professional workplaces, some form of change emerges almost every day. And while we position ourselves to react with grace, distractions poke at us from practically every direction. Our ability to focus pays the price.
Changing priorities and the devastating impact of distractions are at the core of why companies have embraced agile practices for over 20 years.
Whether you’re job searching, looking to grow in your career (in any industry!) or improve your organization, or simply want to strengthen yourself in everyday life, agile practices are the key to regaining the focus we so desperately need.
NBA’s Agile Coach/Scrum Master, Lisa Farrow, will be joining us to discuss why agile practices are so important, how they can help you achieve your goals, and how they can deliver value to both your customer and yourself. We all face unknowns and are subject to distraction, but Lisa wants to share how agile practices are the key to focusing and continuously prioritizing so that you can achieve your goals.
Join this discussion to learn:
- The different ways agile practices can help you improve your organization
- The impacts that agile practices can have on your career growth
- How to apply agile practices to your job-search strategy
