@andreaprovaglio
WHAT I DO
I help IT organizations to find and
implement better ways of doing
business.
I coach teams and individuals who want
to improve technically and relationally.
In 20+ years in IT, I had clients in three
continents and a U.S. work visa for
“extraordinary abilities in Sciences”.

7. IN AGILE WE DON’T PLAN
We do make plans and we are also ready to
change them.
IN AGILE WE DON’T WRITE
SPECIFICATIONS
We write just enough specification and we
refine it more and more as we go.
AGILE IS A METHODOLOGY
Agile is a set of core values, principles and practices
that bring forward an organizational cultural shift.

8. AGILE DOESN'T REQUIRE
MANAGEMENT
All projects need management of cost, time, risk,
resources.Agile adds the empowerment of the
knowledge workers and requires a different kind of
leadership.
AGILE INCREASES EFFICIENCY
It does as a result of transparency, feedback and
collaboration, not as a quick-win booster.
