In the predictable world of Kansas (traditional Waterfall), plans are rigid, roadmaps are straight, and authority flows from the top down. But today’s project environment looks a lot more like Oz—complex, fast-moving, uncertain, and deeply human. The Agile Road to Oz is not another jargon-filled Agile manual or checklist-driven framework. Instead, Dr. Russ Purvis, Ph.D., PMP uses the timeless metaphor of The Wizard of Oz to explain the behavioral psychology behind truly high-performing teams. This is not a fairy tale. It is a practical leadership blueprint.
