About this Publication
We all have passions outside of our careers and most of us spend some of our valuable time with nonprofit and volunteer organizations to achieve our work/life balance. Agile Coach and current Divide Fire Protection District Fire Chief, Tom O Connor describes the opportunity and how Agile principles have been adapted to fighting fires and managing a fire department. The Agile community has shown success with for-profit organizations, as we have helped them become more effective and efficient through our Agile coaching. Unfortunately, these practices are seldom seen in nonprofits and volunteer organizations, such as a volunteer fire department and we have an opportunity for social change and improvement through our expertise and experience.
