20 Years of Agile: Will Mindful Become the New Agile?
summary
Argues that mindfulness trains the individual skills agile needs—concentration, clarity, equanimity—and gives concrete evidence: studies show an average of 11.5 minutes average uninterrupted work with 50% of interruptions self-caused, and meditation app Calm recently valued at $2.2B. Recommends practical tools (apps like Medito, Tamar, Brightmind and structured trainings) and illustrates impact with a product-owner/boss incident where lack of equanimity drives fake planning; mindfulness practice reduces reactive behavior and makes agile experiments more sustainable.
