IS MORE PEOPLE THE AGILE ANSWER?

Scrum, the most popular agile framework, promises to help you do "Twice the work in half the time." Yet, agile managers, directors, and executives still continually hear...

 

"We don't have enough people, we need more people."

 

Are you tired of not having enough people? Of being continually inundated with requests to hire more and more developers, testers, scrum masters, and product owners. Is asking for more people the only way your agile teams know to get more value delivered?

In our FREE live workshop you will learn:
 

  • Why Hiring More People is Usually the Wrong Answer

  • The 3 Mistakes Causing People to Over Hire

  • The Forgotten Agile Secret for Keeping Teams Small

  • The Square Root Rule

  • 5 Simple Steps to Make the Square Root Rule work for you

​

At the end of this short session you will know why "more people" usually makes the problem worse, not better. And you will leave with a blueprint for solving the "we need more people" problem in an entirely different, truly agile way.

​

Note: If "Hiring More People"is the right answer for you, we will even help you determine that too.​
