This event will take place in the Reading Room (previously Historic Reading Room) What happens when a group of Library staff with minimal formal training in agile methods decides to overhaul an entire website? A lot of learning, a few daunting moments – and ultimately a website that truly works for its users. In this session, we'll share how our cross-functional team of enthusiastic amateurs embraced agile principles to design and build a new web presence. With sprints, stand-ups, retrospectives, and a strong sense of purpose, we navigated shifting priorities, built new skills, and discovered better ways of working together. Whether you're agile-curious, managing a digital project, or looking for ideas to energise your team, our story offers insights, mistakes, and successes from a real-world experience, which we hope will reassure and inspire you!
