A reflection on the Agile Manifesto, 18 years on, “making it old enough to drink in pubs”.
The point about the “subtle use of language” in the original Agile Manifesto particularly resonated with me.
When you read it, its simplicity is striking, and it’s actually difficult to disagree with any of it.
The problem is, simple doesn’t sell textbooks, training or consultancy. So over time, agile has been bastardised to become this monstrosity (courtesy of Deloitte).
