What if there is no methodology to Agile? What if the whole attempt is akin to finding a methodology for becoming a rockstar, or a famous painter?
It kind of seems like the manifesto points out that the best way to create software is to get the right people and don't disturb them. And, if fact, if I try to think of examples of good software, this is usually how it came about, doesn't it? A small, talented, motivated group of people just working passionately on a problem.
Obviously, though, this does not scale at all.
- jasonwatkinspdx 3y agoYeah, I worked with one of the authors and their perspective was that conversations between developers and subject matter experts were what was primary, and methodology was just whatever helped a team enable that. They were quite disappointed with the consulting industry that sprung up and its many variations of "the one true way to do agile."
