Agile Is Dead by Dave Thomas

My Takeaways

• UML destroyed the OOP by focusing a generation of programmers into Classes instead of objects.

• Agile is not a noun, it is an adjective

• Fear sells:  new words, new roles, new ways to measure, are we doing it right?

• Cool sells: bright & Shiny, feeling the power, What!!, you aren’t doing Agile!!

• Agile is an industry, that taxes us in terms of fear

• Reclaiming Agility , 3 steps and a loop:

  1. [what to do] Find out where you are
  2. Take small step towards your goal
  3. Adjust you understanding based on what you learned

• No rules are universal, all rules require a context
