Lean-Agile methodologies revolutionized software development in startups, but do they truly work in large, established enterprises? In this episode, we explore The Misapplication of Lean-Agile in Large Corporations—why frameworks designed for fast-moving, nimble teams often struggle within the bureaucratic, legacy-laden environments of “chunky corporates.”
Join us as we dissect the common pitfalls product managers, tech leaders, and corporate strategists face when applying Lean-Agile in mature businesses. We’ll discuss how rigid hierarchies, outdated systems, and misaligned incentives create friction—and more importantly, strategies to bridge the gap between Agile ideals and corporate realities. If you’re navigating software development in a complex organization, this episode is for you.
Tune in for actionable insights on adapting Agile without losing momentum, fostering innovation despite bureaucracy, and making Lean-Agile work for your enterprise, not against it.
