 Angela Prenter-SmithManaging Consultant, This is Milk Has Agile won or is it dead already?Something I’ve been pondering for a while is what’s the next big thing in project delivery? Agile has been around for a while now, and businesses are still struggling with its adoption. I asked the IIBA (International Institute of Business Analysis) LinkedIn group what they thought, and I got about 40 differing opinions. I did some research and again I got a typical mix of views.
‘Agile is dead already.’ ‘Agile was never meant to be used for what it is now.’ ‘Agile is the only way.’ ‘Businesses need to be agile, but that doesn’t mean they need to adopt a specific ‘agile methodology.’

 Michael GillAgile Business Analyst Discussing the key tenets of the Agile Manifesto for software development and what they could mean for business. It's nearly fifteen years since seventeen IT professionals met at a ski resort in Utah, to explore an alternative to documentation driven, heavyweight software development processes. What emerged was the Agile Manifesto espousing four values and twelve principles. Here we look at what this might mean for an organisation either seeking to transition to or already embarked on an agile methodology.
 Michael GillAgile Business Analyst Imagine waking up one morning to discover that one of the core beliefs of the civilised world has been challenged? There were rumours of course, that decades before, some fool called Copernicus had spouted the same nonsense on his death-bed, but nobody's taken him seriously. This Galileo, however, well he's a different story. To say that the Earth orbits round the Sun and is not the centre of the universe is clearly heresy. Fortunately the Church knows how to deal with him; place under permanent house arrest and force him to recant.
And as for that so-called genius Sir Isaac Newton, who claims to have mathematically proved Galileo and Copernicus were right all along, what does he know? |
