But the challenge is not simply adopting a popular methodology; it’s understanding which approaches actually fit the type of work your team is doing and the problems you’re trying to solve within your law firm operations. In this episode, I sit down with business consultant and Agile practitioner Robin Sims-Allen to explore what law firms can learn from other heavily regulated industries about process improvement, project management, and organizational change. We discuss the strengths and limitations of frameworks like Scrum, SAFe, Kanban, and Waterfall, and why choosing the right tool depends on the nature of the work, the structure of the team, and the realities of the environment you’re operating in.
