> Both creators of the Agile movement come from US Military experience.
Last time I checked, the Agile Manifesto was drafted up by no less than 17 developers [1], the most prominent of them being Kent Beck, who's not directly famous for his US Military experience [2].

- belter 2y agoLast time I checked...Ken Schwaber of infamous fame, of the pyramid scheme called Scrum and their Certifications pyramid... and also Jeff Sutherland of infamous Scrum fame, are considered two of the core forces behind the Agile Manifest. And are two of the 17 Developers behind the manifest and both ex-US Military. At least Kent Beck had the integrity of calling Agile certifications: “dishonest”, “a pyramid scheme”, & “cancer”. https://zhiminzhan.medium.com/agile-certifications-are-wrong-5a90a6f2b140 https://zhiminzhan.medium.com/agile-certifications-are-wrong... And you know you can't spell Agile without reserving space for your Scrum Master... ;-) Also selectively adding and removing characters of the Agile Manifest, to maximize or minimize their importance in the movement, as it is convenient for damage control purposes is not going to work out....
