FS 77 Facilitation in the Agile Space with Farah Egby and Çiğdem Saka Jackson

In today's episode Helene speaks to Farah Egby and Cigdem Saka-Jackson about Agile. They talk about:

Agile as a set of working practices that prioritises people over processes and tools;
Farah and Cigdem's previous work and journeys into Agile facilitation;
The roles and functions that the "Scrum Master" and "Kanban" play in Agile;
Roles and techniques in Agile facilitation and tips on how to do it;

"I think you need to care. You have to be a caring person. I definitely don't believe it is, it is a rule book and just a set of applicable guidelines. You have to care about the people you work with and the team you're working with".

How Agile can be applied in different contexts including personally.

"There are things that you can also apply to your own life individually, you can stop and have a moment to reflect, even if you don't do it with a formal process".
