I had a fantastic time Being agile in Thoughtworks in London to launch my book Being agile in Business and share some of the stories in the book and from my work in Cornwall.
A huge thank you to Thoughtworks team (James, Kate, Brid especially) for making me feel so welcome and hosting the events. Thank you to all who came along and supported me, and helped to make being agile happen!
the video stops short of the final agile story about writing the book using agile and sanity over vanity metrics, but you can read the blog post here :
