Episode 14: The One About Agile Being Bullsh*t

Have you ever been involved in a discussion on Agile and thought to yourself, “What a bunch of BS” ?

That was the genesis of our latest episode. And let me tell you, there was passionate disagreement.

Is Agile simply a clever repackaging of existing lean principles sold with slick marketing by sleazy consultants? Is it mostly about the books and the boards and the training programs consultants use to sell unending services? Is it a gimmicky thing that is a whole lot of nothing new?

Is it, in fact, a bunch of bullsh*t?

Phil, Shashi and Bill join me for this conversation and we cover a couple of key topics:

  • Where did the modern interpretation of “Agile” originate?
  • How is the concept of Agile misused by enterprises?
  • Are consultants to blame for the hype around Agile practices?
  • How does a practitioner move past the hype and nonsense?
