Agile Revisited
summary
Argues that Agile’s values survived but its practice morphed into Scrum as brand power, leaving technical excellence neglected and leading to rituals without outcomes; cites a headline claim of 3,000 people trained at a bank as evidence of conflation between agile and Scrum. Shows how modern tooling makes provisioning and deploy trivial — spin up a thousand servers in a second — so teams can ship tiny experiments, measure real business impact, and concludes that velocity is not a measure of business impact.
