The Mindset of Managing Uncertainty: The Key to Agile Success

The speed of global change and the advancement of technology will continue to increase the uncertainty in our work.

Unfortunately, many people never switch their mindset and are doing agile while not being agile. Ahmed Sidky explains that your mindset is at the heart of your day-to-day challenges as you try to manage uncertainty more effectively.
