    Hi
    I currently work in an agile environment which gives great workplace flexibility whereby you can work from home sometimes. I work in a Bank by the way.

    Are there many companies that are Agile in Dublin?

    Not sure what you mean by agile.

    is it just companies where you can work from home?

    A part of my responsibilities is to act as scrum master in one of the "Big 5" tech companies in Dublin.

    Slydice, Agile is just a methodology for getting stuff done. Stems from software dev but being used all over the place now.

    I wouldn't really consider Agile synonymous with working from home personally, it depends on the team.
    Though I'm lucky enough to wfh any time I like currently.
    Handy as I live outside Dublin.

    Tbh anywhere I've seen Agile or Scrum implemented it's always with caveats and it's always that company's own flavour. Never "pure" Agile.

    My company is one of the big fund administration players in the IFSC and uses Agile. It's my first experience of it and I'd never go back to Waterfall or any other type of project delivery methodology again. I'm really finding it great! The work from home feature is not a key feature of it. Any non Agile company I worked with had well established WFH practices also.
