Read detail on Open Space Agility’s underlying concepts
Open Space Agility is based on the very first value of the Agile Manifesto:
“Individuals and Interactions.”
We believe any Agile practice is OK to use, so long as the people who do the work are “in on” the process of deciding exactly what to try. Mandates are harmful in several dimensions, and are to be avoided. Instead, we tap the amazing attractiveness of invitation to get people engaged in the Agile adoption process.
