Is agile really not about speed? Or have we misunderstood what speed actually means?
You’ve probably heard the phrase: “Agile isn’t about going faster, it’s about delivering value.” And while that sounds wise, it can sometimes lead teams into a trap—slowing down in the name of “focus,” while missing the opportunity to build valuable outcomes quickly and effectively.
In this episode, we’re going to challenge the idea that speed and value are opposites. You’ll discover why teams that move faster don’t have to become "feature factories" churning out meaningless work—in fact, the best agile teams are the ones that combine speed with purpose.
By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with:
⭐ A deeper understanding of why speed and value are not in conflict
⭐ A powerful analogy that reshapes how you view agility and delivery
⭐ A mindset shift to help your team develop the right things faster, not just more things
If you’re a Scrum Master, Agile Coach, or agile evangelist trying to help your team thrive—this episode is for you. We’ll explore what it really means to be effective, not just efficient, and how your team can embrace a faster pace without sacrificing purpose or quality.
