In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke Lee Cunningham of VersionOne about the results from the State of Agile Survey

Why listen to this podcast:

• Agile is not just something that developers do – it’s an enabler of business outcomes

• The emergence of multi-modal organisations where there are multiple different approaches being used simultaneously which holds them back from progressing effectively

• Some organisations are adopting a Taylorism approach to agile adoption – get experts to tell us what to do and control the teams to abide by those rules

• The emergence of business value as an important measure, over productivity (although productivity is a necessary precondition for business value)

• Buying an expensive tool doesn’t make your agile adoption successful, in the same way that buying an expensive treadmill doesn’t make you fit – both need to be used effectively to deliver any value
