Abstract: There’s some weird stuff going on in the name of “agile” nowadays. Too many pretty promises, eager exaggerations, and misguided misapplications of misunderstood premises make for troubling times. So what is the future of agile? We want to share with you how agile fails and how agile succeeds. The key to the future of agile is being thoughtful, realistic, and above all skeptical.
Learning Outcomes: - - Agile is a mindset & way of work. Not a set of tools and processes.
- - Agile is not suitable for every situation. Beware of false premises and false promises.
- - Agile is flexible, which also means capable of distortion. Therefore, there is no unified solution for everybody—we need to use our brains.
- - No change can be pushed from the top down without explanation or succeed only on the basis of logical reasons that "worked somewhere else".
- - Small steps and a custom approach tailored to the context (organization, people, ...) is the key to successful agile adooption.
