Helping teams stay happy and healthy while still delivering at full speed in a fast-changing world - story by the coach who's been on both sides.
Agile frameworks promise autonomy, alignment, and faster results.
But in reality, many teams undergoing transformation report feeling exhausted, lost, or disconnected. This session explores how Agile transformations can unintentionally lead to burnout on interpersonal, individual, and organizational levels.
We’ll explore:
-
What burnout looks like in Agile teams: Loss of direction, lack of feedback, emotional detachment, and the erosion of once-valued skills.
-
Why this happens: We’ll challenge the assumption that “Agile fixes everything,” and examine how unclear governance, non-stop change, and weak recognition systems contribute to disengagement.
-
What to do about it: You’ll leave with concrete, people-centered strategies to keep your team connected, valued, and motivated: including tips on pacing change, giving meaningful feedback, and rebuilding purpose at all levels.
Participants will learn how myths on delivery models and iterarive work can unintentionally harm team health and performance. More importantly, you’ll walk away with practical strategies to reduce burnout and boredom: how to spot early warning signs, restore feedback loops, reintroduce purpose, and pace transformation in a human-centered way.
Whether you’re a leader, contributor, or just someone trying to survive another reorg, this session gives you language, tools, and space to rethink how we work.
