There’s been a movement afoot in the agile community for a while. It’s about getting back to basics. I characterize it as:
- Agile leadership is nice, but…
- Agile planning & forecasting is nice, but…
- Agile Project Managers are great, but…
- All the certifications are nice, but…
- Scaling frameworks are nice, but…
- Accenture, Gartner, etc. interest is nice, but…
- DevOps and Business Agility are nice, but…
- Adoption, transformation, etc. are nice, but…
- Making $billions is nice, but…
We’ve lost the essence of agility. We’ve forgotten the very things that got everyone excited in the first place. The simplicity. The power of the team. The results that an engaged customer can inspire.
