About the session
Agile methodologies appear to match many best practices for building inclusion. But despite growing recognition of the benefits of diverse, inclusive teams, women and people from minoritised ethnicities remain underrepresented in the technology industry.
We call this the “Agile Inclusion Paradox”.
In this workshop we share findings from our original research that examines why adopting Agile alone may not be enough. Together, we explore techniques to interrupt non-inclusive dynamics, purposefully to build inclusion in your team, and enable everyone to thrive.
Themes:
Inclusion, diversity, psychology, team performance.
