Crash into Agile with Ivan & Sarah
Agile and Lean Six Sigma are often treated as separate worlds — one focused on speed, the other on process stability and precision. In reality, both share a common goal: continuous improvement and delivering tangible business value.
Let’s discover how Agile brings adaptability and feedback loops, while Lean Six Sigma contributes to structured problem-solving, waste reduction, and data-driven decisions. Together, they form a powerful foundation for resilient, high-performing teams no matter the industry or project.
In this session, we provide an overview of each methodology and showcase how each can be used to your advantage in different scenarios. You’ll learn what DMAIC stands for, as well as what it can really mean to technical and business teams through real world use cases. We’ll combine our perspectives — Lean Six Sigma and Agile — to explore how both approaches can work together to create stronger teams, smarter processes, and better technical and business outcomes.

Lean into Agile with Ivan & Sarah
Build on your foundational knowledge of Agile and Lean Six Sigma with a deeper dive. We’ll focus on how these two methodologies build upon and play off of each other to your advantage in different scenarios and real world use cases through a ‘Who Wore it Better?’ Exercise. We’ll combine our perspectives — Lean Six Sigma and Agile — to explore how both approaches can work together to create stronger teams, smarter processes, and better technical and business outcomes.
In this session, we provide a comparative, side-by-side analysis of Agile and Lean Six Sigma highlighting how to identify strategic opportunities where one or both could support high-performing teams across industries and projects, in more ways than just collecting lessons learned. Through meaningful case studies and specific mention on DMAIC exercises, we’ll discuss real-world examples of success and the long-term solutions created for short-term problems.
