Learning from the Agile Experiment

by Harrison Gray, Head of Digital and Transformation at ClearRidge

The Agile Manifesto prioritises four core value pairs including:

• individuals and interactions over processes and tools,
• working software over comprehensive documentation,
• customer collaboration over contract negotiation and
• responding to change over following a plan.

Drawing on published case studies and research, Harrison explored the benefits, limitations and practical lessons of applying agile approaches to digital portfolio management. Tailored to Queensland council water professionals, the session examined the implications for people, processes, funding, governance and operational capacity, while highlighting the importance of maintaining strategic direction and investment oversight.

Participants gained practical insights into combining iterative delivery with effective planning, accountability and business ownership to achieve lasting service improvements.
