Government Insider: When Government Agencies Ask for Agile – Sort Of!

Agile delivery can thrive—even within traditional, waterfall-style contracts. This session reveals how to align modern Agile practices with legacy RFPs to drive value, flexibility, and results.

When:

August 28, 2025, 10:00 am – August 28, 2025, 11:00 am MST

Where:

Online (MS Teams)

Who:

Agile Coach, Business Analyst, Change Agent, Director, Government Agilists, Government Employees (Federal & Public Sector), Government Leader, Product Owner, Program or Project Manager, Release Train Engineer

Event Overview

Traditional contracts don’t have to limit Agile innovation. In regulated industries and government settings, delivery teams are finding creative ways to bring iterative, value-driven approaches into environments built on fixed scope and rigid milestones.

This session dives into:

🔹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!
