In this episode of Pragmagilism, Ross takes on a provocative question: Is Agile dead? Spoiler alert: The principles of Agile—adaptability, collaboration, and delivering value—are alive and well. But the business of Agile frameworks, certifications, and coaching? That might be another story.
Join Ross as he dives into:
✅ Why Agile principles are timeless and still relevant today.
✅ How the over-commercialization of Agile has led to dogma and diminishing returns.
✅ Practical advice for Agile practitioners on staying relevant in an evolving workplace.
Ross also shares personal experiences from large enterprises and government contracting, highlighting when Agile worked—and when it became more about rituals than results. Whether you’re a seasoned Agile coach or just curious about the next wave, this episode offers fresh insights on the future of Agile.
Agile isn’t dead, but rigid frameworks and over-commercialization are holding it back.
The future of Agile lies in adaptability, focusing on outcomes, and evolving beyond dogma.
Roles like Product Ops and DevOps leadership offer natural next steps for Agile practitioners.Links & Resources Mentioned:
