If Agile is something that happens to you, it’s pretty awful.
Rolling things out is a recipe for pain, not for success!
There is no way a leader can control anybody!
The world would be very very dull if we are only allowed one framework.
Agile can be done in investment banking.

Topics
We conversed about and around the following topics:
Value Streams let you see the big picture and your biggest bottlenecks, risks, and opportunities.
A value stream captures a view beyond common Agile and DevOps visibility to how we create and deliver value.
A Value Stream Map lets to share that view with others and align on what to do next.
A map should be simple to start (you can always add more data if you want) – avoid heavy/complex approaches.
People are the most important part. Facilitation, handoffs, incentives, psychological safety are major factors.
