My Big Fat Agile Wedding

Once upon a time, I met and fell in love with a handsome young Business lecturer. Last year, we got married. Wedding planning was one of the most gruelling experiences I’ve ever been through, and I’ve been through a couple of rough digital transformation projects! Even though we implemented Agile methods during our year of wedding planning, it turns out we fell into many of the same project pitfalls that teams fall into during their Agile journey. Here is a post-mortem retrospective of my big fat Agile wedding; a story of a group of frustrated stakeholders in their journey to planning a dinner banquet for 300 people.

Lucy Munanto is an Agile Business Analyst building digital products for some of the biggest names in the financial services and automotive industries. She thrives on helping teams achieve meaningful product development by focusing on user experience and using storytelling as a way to align technology and business stakeholders to a common purpose.

She also believes that Agile practices play a big part in improving team performance and product quality, so much so that she planned her two weddings last year using Agile! Lucy is currently the Business Analyst & Delivery Practice Lead at Lexicon Digital.
