Teams are working hard but not delivering. You think you know what’s wrong – maybe the testers need training\, the team needs better tools\, or processes need tightening. So you jump in to fix it. \n\n\n\nBut what if you’re solving the wrong problem? \n\n\n\nOur speaker\, Kimberly Andrikaitis\, once spent weeks building a training program to fix what she thought was a skill gap. Before fully launching it\, she used a simple Problem Identification Worksheet that revealed she’d completely misdiagnosed the problem. That pause saved months of wasted effort. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Kimberly will share the six-question worksheet that helps you test your assumptions before you build solutions. You’ll learn how to distinguish between what you THINK is wrong and what’s ACTUALLY wrong\, and how to design small experiments that reveal the real problem. \n\n\n\nSix questions. Ten minutes. Zero wasted months. \n\n\n\nMeet your speaker\n\n\n\nKimberly Andrikaitis is a transformational coach\, trainer\, and organizational advisor with over 25 years of experience leading delivery across software development\, financial services\, aerospace\, and manufacturing. She is the author of Look Up: Solve What Matters (Business Expert Press\, 2026) and is trained in Co-Active coaching. Kimberly specializes in helping project managers and delivery professionals uncover organizational dysfunction instead of blaming teams for systemic problems. She currently provides delivery consulting and training services\, helping organizations identify and eliminate the waste that blocks project success.   URL:https://agilealliance.org/event/youre-probably-solving-the-wrong-problem/ LOCATION:Online Event CATEGORIES:Member Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://agilealliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/agile-online-Kimberly-Andrikaitis-copy.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260820T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260820T235959 DTSTAMP:20260721T181227Z CREATED:20260630T145905Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260721T181227Z UID:10001259-1787184000-1787270399@agilealliance.org SUMMARY:From Zero to a Ready-to-Run Retro in 15 Minutes with AI DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 20\, 2026 | 11:00 am ET | Virtual session\n\n\n\nAI + Agile: Real examples.

You and other members will share knowledge\, discuss options\, challenge assumptions\, unlearn\, and learn together. Lean coffee is an agendaless meeting with a loose structure. The people who show up bring the topics and decide the priority for discussing them. So\, whether you are a new member\, a beginner\, or a veteran in this Agile community\, your voice is valued in this space. \n\n\n\nTo scale the event\, we will surface themes (technical\, process\, strategy\, transformation\, etc.) to prompt topics for our lean coffee tables. Members can move between Zoom rooms (tables)\, and there will be a room without a theme. \n\n\n\nJoin us as we uncover better ways of working\, together! \n\n\n\nRegistration is FREE for Agile Alliance members\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT: We have transitioned to a new membership platform.
