These presentations explore alternative benefits of Agile methods beyond well-known benefits like managing changing priorities, faster time to market, and higher quality. Agile frameworks like Scrum are considered. Turnover and motivation are discussed as Turkish IT professional statistics show most have less than 10 years experience and change jobs every 1-2 years, costing companies significantly. Reasons for job changes include lack of satisfaction, pay, growth and fun. Agile solutions that incorporate autonomy, mastery and purpose are proposed to improve motivation and performance through self-organization.
