Our understanding of why Agile works strengthens our ability to deal w ith these difficult situations. One aspect rarely discussed when talki ng about Agile is how Agile creates happier employees and how happier employees result in better quality products and higher productivity. Wouldn't it be great to be able to explain that relationship the next time somebody says they don't understand why we shouldn't have a deadl ine or why they can't interrupt the sprint?\n\n\n Join an interactive discussion where we will blend science and real life experiences to un cover the relationship between Agile, Happiness and Productivity. With any luck, we might just have some fun along the way! Jeremy Webb's decade in software has included a number of different roles in product and organizational development, and he launched top performing produc ts in emerging and existing markets, and was a key contributor in a tr ansformation effort that led to selling a company for a billion dollar s. During this, Jeremy noticed trends in what makes certain teams and organizations more effective than others and began researching and bu ilding systems to replicate these high performance environments. In 2 013, Jeremy co-founded Organizational Engineering with the intent of C hanging the Way the World Works and Making the World a Better Place Th ough Better Business . The organization focuses on applying human beha vioral principles that increase productivity and product quality thoug h making work more fulfilling for employees. Organizational Engineerin g provides consultation services, workshops and training programs that help organizations make lasting transformations.
