There is noise in market that 'agile is dead' It's time to address the 'elephant in the room' Agile is based on empiricism which is evidence and fact based So is science and medicine. Negative and positive findings are both critical for success. Lets not be afraid of this question. Lets have the confidence to address and own it It is time to change the agility game.
It is time to stop zombie agile and restructures and cost cutting disguised at agile. We need to go back to basics and show people what real agile is.
