Working the Way We Want - The Evolution of FaST-Agile with Page Watson - June 2023 - PhillyXP

Working the Way We Want - The Evolution of FaST-Agile Starting in 2016, I was part of an amazing experiment of 40+ people who self-organized and dynamically re-teamed around our work, using two-day iterations to produce amazing high-quality applications for a large healthcare insurance company. Our process became what is now called Fluid Scaling Technology (FaST). In his book, The Art of Agile Development (2nd Ed.), James Shore called FaST: “One of the most promising approaches to scaling I’ve seen”. I’ll discuss the processes and practices of FaST, and how we created an environment of learning, growth, and team responsibility that allowed us to achieve high-quality, amazing outcomes at a more rapid pace.
