The EA Campus Podcast Ep96: Agile Working for Executive Assistants
As Executive Assistants, we are used to working in environments where priorities shift quickly, plans change, and no two days look the same. One minute everything is mapped out, the next you are reworking the schedule, solving problems, and keeping everything moving behind the scenes.
So how do you build a way of working that actually supports that?
In this episode of The EA Campus Podcast, we explore Agile working and how it can be adapted for the EA role. This is not about adding more process or complexity. It is about creating structure that allows you to stay flexible, make better decisions, and manage your workload with more clarity.
We break down what Agile working really means in practice and how you can start using it straight away in your role.
In this episode, we cover:
- What Agile working is and why it fits the EA role
- How to manage shifting priorities without feeling overwhelmed
- The Moscow method for prioritising your workload
- How to use sprints to focus on high-impact work
- What Scrum looks like for EAs, including simple daily check-ins
- How feedback loops can help you continuously improve how you work
If you are looking for a more structured but flexible way to manage your day, this episode will give you practical approaches you can start using immediately.
And a quick reminder. Our annual EA Campus Conference is taking place in London from April 22nd to 24th. If you want to learn, connect with other Assistants, and spend time working on your role, we would love to see you there. You can find all of the details on theeacampus.com.
