057: The Difference Between Adaptability, Agility and Agile with Angela Bunner

Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers! This week, we’re talking about adaptability, agility, and big “A” Agile. There are a lot of terms floating around these days that all seem to mean something similar. I’ve got Angela Bunner, VP Customer Experience at Clarizen, here with me to help clarify these terms and put them in context for the PMO. In our current environment, we’re all facing a lot of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) and this can put a strain on IMPACT Drivers.
