You could say the same about vim though...
Jokes aside, many resources about agile start with explaining how agile is “easy to understand, difficult to master”, and I think that’s true.
- quanticle 7y agoThe difference is that vim is a specific tool, and if I see someone struggling repeatedly to be effective with vim, I can gently suggest that they try some other tool. But if I see a team repeatedly to implement something that looks like an Agile methodology, what do I tell them? I suspect that many devotees of agile would speak at this point about getting management buy-in, or reforming the wider organization, but at this point "agile" just becomes shorthand for "reform your entire organization from top to bottom so that your management doesn't suck".
- pflenker 7y agoIf the team struggles, the org does not need to be changed. However, from my point of view, companies should increase support for their teams when transitioning to agile. Training would be a good start. I have taken a few agile trainings, and they have been among the best I had in my career.
