That top rated answer is excellent.
Agile at its core, to me as an engineering manager, is:
- People over process/tools
- Plan-able execution and pivoting quickly in rapidly changing environments
- Create consistent, repeatable work delivery
- Retrospection, learning and iteration over time
- Tools (can) support the process to multiply efficiency but do not solve the core goals and problems
Like the author of the comment said, the details of how you execute "agile" is where things get bumpy for teams.
- streetcat1 7y agoThe problem with agile is that it is a greedy algorithm. It can lead you to local optima. Usually this is not an issue if you are doing contract work, However, if you try to create a product in a market with competition, a non agile competitor can reach a global optima (for example Apple vs MS in mobile phones), and than you will lose the market (and sometime your future).
