Meeting the Moment
In today's landscape, distributed workforces are the norm and the 9 to 5 has been vilified and replaced. the table below provides clear advantages to utilizing fractional executives in the modern workforce.

Agile pods , are small cross-functional group of individuals who work together collaboratively to deliver a specific project or product working within a 90 day window, known as a “Sprint”. These methodologies are focused, cost effective and several agile pods can operate in tandem.

Here are some key characteristics of an Agile pod:

• Cross-functional composition: An Agile pod consists of individuals with diverse skills and expertise necessary to deliver the project or product. This typically includes roles such as developers, testers, designers, business analysts, and other relevant roles.

• Self-organizing and autonomous: Agile pods are empowered to make decisions and manage their work independently. They have a high degree of autonomy and are responsible for planning, executing, and delivering their work within the defined scope and timeline.

• Collaboration and communication: Agile pods emphasize close collaboration and communication within the team. They work together on a daily basis, often using Agile frameworks like Scrum or Kanban, to discuss progress, share updates, resolve issues, and make decisions collectively.

• Iterative and incremental development: Agile pods follow an iterative and incremental approach to development. They break down the project or product into smaller, manageable units of work called user stories or tasks. These are then prioritized and worked on in short time intervals called sprints or iterations, typically ranging from one to four weeks.

• Continuous feedback and improvement: Agile pods actively seek feedback from stakeholders, customers, and users throughout the development process. This feedback is incorporated into the work, allowing for continuous improvement and adaptation to changing requirements or priorities.

• Focus on delivering value: The primary goal of an Agile pod is to deliver value to the customer or end-users. They prioritize features and functionalities based on their value and strive to deliver a working product incrementally, ensuring that the most valuable components are developed and released early.

• Transparent and visible progress: Agile pods often use visual management tools like Kanban boards or task boards to make the progress and status of their work visible to all team members. This promotes transparency and helps the team stay aligned on their goals and priorities.

The Agile pod approach promotes flexibility, adaptability, and efficiency in project or product development. By fostering close collaboration, autonomy, and iterative practices, Agile pods enable teams to respond quickly to changes, deliver high-quality results, and continuously improve their work processes.
