In this episode we discuss the complex and diverse nature of Agile in the Finance industry. High-compliance industries are near and dear to my heart and it was a great opportunity to learn from those in the thick of change in an industry not so classic to Agile. Continue on listening to hear their stories, inspirations, and advice as they scale Agile at large and within finance. I hope you will grab some nuggets of knowledge around how to scale your own transformations in a high-compliance world.
