Are Agile organisations really inclusive?
summary
Year-long Business Agility Institute research surveys ~500 people (425 analyzed) and reports concrete results: 17% witnessed exclusion, 26% believe agile can create exclusion, and only 11% of product methods are consciously designed for inclusion; many describe bias, microaggressions and low psychological safety. Leadership alignment and embedding DE&I into business strategy are shown as the levers; concrete wins include redesigned hiring and return-to-work programs, coaches changing workshop formats, and a payroll product adding a non-binary field that sold well.
