🔹The tension between Agile delivery and waterfall-style RFPs

🔹Common missteps that emerge as early as the proposal phase

🔹Real-world examples of Agile success within legacy frameworks

🔹Strategies for maintaining Agile integrity while meeting contractual obligations

Attendees will walk away with practical guidance on structuring proposals, setting expectations, and designing governance models that support adaptability and collaboration—even in the most structured procurement environments.

Whether you’re shaping the bid or leading the build, this session offers a roadmap for making Agile work where structure is non-negotiable. Register today to join the conversation!
