Self-identified "agile unicorn" Jackie Chambers de Freitas rarely sees others like her in her work as a VP of technology transformation and executive coach. In this episode, she shares how her uniqueness as a Black woman working in agile can be both a boon and a burden. Mixed in with her own challenges are the general challenges involved with bringing business agility to organizations. De Freitas mentions the "dirty little secret in agile": agilists are champions of change – but change is tough. It can take a toll on your mental health, both those who are changing and those who are helping to change.
