Transparency - Because Bad Things Hide in the Dark
Individuals, their interactions and communication are highly valued in Agile.
These values frequently find application in the form of big visible charts or information radiators.
Yet, in a lot of large, traditional organizations who have started their journey in Agile, the public display of information, uniformly accessible to all, is unsettling.
Through a “scary” analysis of the impact of the lack of transparency, I aim to build a really strong case for more transparency at the workplace.
