Startups bliver ofte refereret til rollemodeller når man taler om agilitet. Hvem hvordan arbejder man egentlig i en startup virksomhed? Og er agilitet overhovedet noget man tænker på? Dette var Den Agile Podcast nysgerrige efter at finde ud af, og vi har været så heldige at få mulighed for at interviewe Alexander Hauerslev Jensen fra Be My Eyes. Vi får her indblik i bl.a. hvordan man tænker og taler om agilitet, herunder konkrete praktikker som eks. pivots, A/B testing og hypotesedrevet udvikling, og hvad startups og de etablerede virksomheder kan lære af hinanden.

Alexander Hauerslev Jensen is the Chief, Commercial Officer at Be my Eyes in Denmark. Be my Eyes is a mobile app that is bringing sight to blind and low-vision people. In this episode, Alexander explains how Be my Eyes works and the background to why it was initiated. - And people really want to help out and I think it’s beautiful to see that in a world where news and all politics can be slightly depressing every now and then, it’s just nice to see that people just want to help each other out. Like Be my Eyes does not discriminate in any way, we don’t care about your race, your beliefs, your sexuality or anything like that. It is just connecting someone who needs help with someone who can provide that help. And I think that connection is really pure and beautiful, and a lot of people want to be a part of that, says Alexander Hauerslev Jensen.
