Agile back to basics: foundations, interpretations, and paving the way forward
This summer, we brought together some of the industry’s leading agile experts, including three of the Agile Manifesto’s original co-authors. We wanted to get back to basics and hear their thoughts on why some organisations fail to find their feet with agile—and what actions they can take to get back on track.
From misinterpretation and documentation to risk-averse leadership and rigid implementation, there was lots to get stuck into and a wealth of experience around the table to hear from.
What our agile aficionados discussed:
- How agile is misunderstood and misapplied by organisations
- Why agile isn’t living up to its full potential
- What we really mean when we talk about an agile mindset
- How businesses can improve their agile efforts and harness the benefits
