Delivering with Self-Organized Teams — Real, Fast + Good
summary
The talk examines why interdisciplinary agile teams often fail to deliver despite principles of self-organization, citing problems like indecision, endless MVP work, and speed with poor security. It connects performative agile behaviours and lack of clear direction to weak real-world self-organization and outlines concrete actions team members and the wider organization can take so teams deliver truly, quickly, and well.
