Purposeful Agile
summary
Claims that a clear shared purpose makes teams self‑organize and scaling a side effect, and lays out three stages: how‑to, attitude, purpose with concrete practices for the purpose stage: build an intentional product, prototype releasable increments (0.8/1.0 style), and show results — demo sessions that expanded to 60 people and turned attendees into change agents. Practical levers: invite stakeholders to demos, talk frequently to real users, and managers “clean their agenda” (a packed calendar is a sign agility hasn’t spread).
