In this episode, I'm talking with Tom Junker, Assistant Professor at Tilburg University. We discuss his work on Agile Work Practices (AWP) and their influence on teamwork results. Listen to this episode to know:
- How the Agile Work Practices divide into those oriented on taskwork and those oriented on teamwork?
- How to measure Agile Transformation using recently developed AWP scale?
- What is the relationship between agile work and creativity?
- Which of the Agile Work Practices influence proactivity the most?
- What is the paradox embedded in agile work?
This episode is a must for all the scrum masters, agile product owners, agile coaches and other practitioners invested and interested in agile project management science.
