Agile has become a buzzword — but feedback still saves us.
Optimism becomes delusion when we STOP absorbing feedback.
If we become deluded, we get blind spots and we can miss the things that will sink us.
For me personally this is why one of the most important principles of the Agile manifesto is “At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behaviour accordingly.”
Second to that it is: “the Art of maximising work NOT done” read more.
Feedback, retrospectives, iterating the scope is key. This applies in my technical solo projects, my team projects and in life.
You’re not delusional when you’re wrong.
You’re delusional when you don’t test if you’re wrong.
Build a small, meaningful part — get feedback — adjust.
Agile has become such a buzzword and a certified set of mindless rigid processes I feel the intent of agile is often lost in the processes.
I think we need to get back to the intent, and less of the performance.
What’s your favourite Agile principle? Why?
