Why agile is for everybody, and why everybody hates agile.
summary
Argues that Agile has no single definition and traces it to the 68-word manifesto, then shows concrete experiments: replace daily stand‑ups with a Slack unblock policy (it did the trick), try a 10‑minute silent stand‑up (better than 90% of stand‑ups), swap the three-sentence user story for measurable success signals, and launch the one page one hour pledge and website to force rapid, shareable drafts. Emphasizes measureable outcomes over ritual compliance.
