Definitely, Maybe Agile

Agile: The Cult, the Hype, and the Reality


Listen Later

 In this episode of Definitely Maybe Agile, Peter Maddison and David Sharrock explore the evolution of Agile methodologies. They discuss how Agile represents solutions to persistent problems that may be rebranded but address fundamental needs. The hosts examine why Agile has faced criticism, drawing parallels to Lean's journey from buzzword to established methodology, while exploring the challenges organizations face in implementation.

This week´s takeaways: 

  • The fundamental problems Agile addresses remain constant, even as attitudes toward the methodology evolve.
  • Organizations often struggle with Agile implementation due to legacy architecture, leadership buy-in, and organizational context.
  • Like Lean before it, Agile is transitioning from a hyped methodology to becoming part of a broader toolkit.
