Agile Community Network
Work is changing. What does that mean for your career, your team, and how your organization gets things done? Agile Community Network brings practitioners and leaders together for candid conversations about AI, shifting job markets, leadership, and the everyday challenges of working with agility. Each month, host Ray Arell, our cohosts, and callers from the community compare what they’re seeing across industries, share what’s working, and wrestle with questions that don’t have easy answers. We explore how Agile and Lean thinking can help people adapt, deliver value, and build workplaces where people can do their best work. Expect practical experience, different perspectives, and room to challenge the usual advice. Listen to the podcast or bring your own questions to our monthly live conversation.

Does the Agile Name Still Sell?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The Agile name can open a door or end a conversation, depending on who’s buying and what they’ve experienced. In this episode, the ACN community examines how disappointing transformations and unclear results have affected demand for Agile. Callers share experiences of applying the principles without using the label, while others point to employers still hiring Agile practitioners. The conversation also turns to AI adoption, where familiar problems with decision making, feedback, and organizational structure keep surfacing. What are customers willing to pay for now, and how can practitioners explain the value they bring?
Join Shawna Cullinan, Jörg Pietruszka, Diana Larsen, Sheila Eckert, Sheila McGrath, April Mills, Hendrik Esser, Ray Arell, and all the callers to the monthly live event as we explore this topic. For details on the next live event or how to support our show, please visit acnpodcast.org.
