Is Agile Disappearing? - Not Again...

For the last two years, we’ve seen a fairly drastic change in the agile landscape. Large companies have laid off hundreds of thousands of agile and tech jobs (287k in 2023 and 152k in 2024). The job market for new jobs is also very different. You can’t just search for Scrum Master or Agile Coach like you used to.

Maybe it’s because big firms have started treating agile like “a skill not a role”, as mentioned by the Business Agility Institute and 

scrum alliance in their “Skills in the New World of Work” research paper. You might need to be multiple things, a manager who knows agile or a technologist who knows Scrum. It’s a trend that is sad but true, IMO.
