I like it, but it could use some refinement. Already a couple of years ago Dave Thomas, one of the original authors of the Agile Manifesto, wrote a piece called "Time to Kill Agile" (renamed "Agile is Dead")[1]. The "lean startup" methodology and guidelines found in "Rework" and "Getting Real" have gotten traction in some of the younger companies in my area but I don't think they've been codified into a single set of guiding principles that could work well for larger enterprises. It might've been nice if Dave Thomas had proposed an additional point or two on the original Agile Manifesto to correct some of the problems he mentions. But it's hard to turn the Titanic around and it seems like "correctives" to belief systems generally come in the form of a competing system that asks you to discard the previous one. 1. https://pragdave.me/blog/2014/03/04/time-to-kill-agile/ https://pragdave.me/blog/2014/03/04/time-to-kill-agile/
