Agile & Improv:
Two Sides of the Same Coin
Improv is built on the foundations of Transparency, Adaptability and Unity. Good improvisers listen intently, take risks, support their teammates, and connect authentically with their audience. If you think that sounds a lot like the Agile mindset, you're not alone.
In Agile, We're Taught To:
Keep Moving Forward
Respond To Change
Honour The Vision Over The Plan
Fail Fast
Collaborate With Customers
In Improv, We Learn To:
Say "Yes, And..."
Be Present & Reactive
Operate Unscripted
Use Mistakes As Opportunities
Use Audience Feedback
Communicate
One foundation of great work is deep listening - to each other, the market, the customers and your own instincts. Improv principles put a heavy emphasis on "listening, agreeing & supporting."
Connect
Improvisers please their audience most when they are authentic. Fostering that authenticity helps us to form deep and lasting connections at work. It's critical to individual and team success. Deploying improv principles makes relationship building much easier.
Discover
Real, ground-breaking, innovative ideas only surface when people go all-in and allow themselves to be vulnerable. Break rules. Take risks. Make awesome discoveries.
Grow
Great improvisers are eternal learners. They exemplify the growth mindset. They know that there is always something to discover, experience or practice. When they are improvising, they are honing their creativity muscles and fostering a culture of inclusivity.
