Agile isn’t easy; it’s worth it - Gaye Garvelink

Sys. Analyst Gaye Garvelink recounts her experience with agile and how it hasn't been easy, but more than worth it. My favorite quote from this show was "We were working really hard, but we loved every minute of it."

In this episode we discuss:

• How agile creates an environment that allows teams to flourish while bringing out the best in each individual. 
• Agile before Agile was "cool"
• Lean / Continuous improvement / Toyota Production System
• Agile makes learning new things feel safer
• Work gets better for everyone w/agile
  • Brings the team together
  • Keeps everyone informed
  • Makes work visible 
• It doesn't matter what your role or title is on an agile team - you swarm problems together to solve them as fast as possible.
