"How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. It's the same thing with projects." — Luke Pivac In this episode of the Agile in Action Podcast, Bill Raymond chats with Luke Pivac, co-author of Learn Agile and Scrum in Two Hours. They talk about why Agile is more about mindset than rigid frameworks, the shift from traditional project management to Agile practices, and how teams adapted to remote work during the pandemic.
