In Agile project management, an agile epic is a significant body of work that can be divided into smaller tasks or user stories, helping maintain organizational clarity and support project goals while allowing flexibility in execution.

Simon Sinek’s rise to fame is marked by his unwavering determination to challenge conventional thinking.

He consistently questions corporate practices and fearlessly presents bold opinions that disrupt the status quo.

In his book “Start with Why”, Simon Sinek boldly claims that the ‘Why’ behind your actions matters more than the ‘What’. This principle isn’t limited to leadership or personal motivation; it extends to every facet of the business, including product roadmaps.

Having an impactful process in place is a must.
