Less Is More: How Lagom and Agile Can Create Harmonious Workflows

Hej! As an Agile coach who recently moved to Sweden, I’ve come to discover a beautiful thing about the Scandinavian way of life—Lagom. It’s all about balance, simplicity, and finding the perfect harmony in everything you do. And guess what? It turns out Lagom has so much in common with Agile! Who knew?

In this fun and energizing talk, I’ll share how the philosophy of Lagom (which, in case you’re wondering, roughly translates to “just the right amount”) can actually help you fine-tune your Agile processes to create workflows that feel… well, just right! No more chaos, no more burnout—just the perfect balance of productivity and well-being.

And the best part? By incorporating Lagom, you can actually improve the quality of your work without pushing yourself or your team to the breaking point and burnouts. It’s all about creating just the right amount of challenge, just the right amount of rest, and just the right amount of focus.

This session is focused on the practical, lighthearted insights you can start using right away to improve your Agile processes, all while embracing a tradition that has stood the test of time in Sweden. If you’re ready to get rid of burnout and bring balance to your development teams, this is the talk for you!
