Agility has become an integral part of many work environments, while it is still largely unfamiliar within academia. Yet, agile mindsets and methods can offer valuable impulses, especially in complex and uncertain research contexts. In this interactive online session, you will gain a clear and practical introduction to the topic of agility: What does “agile” really mean beyond methods and buzzwords? How does agile working differ from classical project management – and what does this mean for research projects in practice? Which mindsets, principles, and tools can help to better deal with uncertainty, change, and complexity?
Through playful exercises, short inputs, and interactive elements, you will not only learn about agility theoretically, but experience it in practice.
