Are You Being Changed in Agile Transformation?

Change is scary, especially when it comes to agile transformation. Whether you’re a senior developer, a long-time manager, or part of a team new to agile, the shift can feel overwhelming. You might worry that your role will vanish, that planning will go out the window, or that you’ll spend all day in meetings. These fears are common, and you're definitely not alone.



In this episode, we’re tackling 5 of the biggest fears people face when transitioning to agile — fears like:

😱 "There’s no time for proper design anymore!"

😱 "Do I have to become a generalist?"

😱 "Will we lose all ability to plan and predict?"

😱 "Are managers still relevant?"

😱 "Why are there so many meetings!?"



We’ll unpack each of these concerns and look at what’s really behind them. You’ll discover how agile doesn’t erase your expertise — in fact, it often gives you more clarity, purpose, and flexibility. By the end of this episode, those scary agile “monsters” will look a whole lot smaller — maybe even helpful.



So if you’re anxious about agile change — or know someone who is — stay tuned. Let’s turn confusion into confidence, and fear into fuel for growth.
