Agile Version 2016
summary
Argues that Agile’s original assumptions (exponential cost of change, heavy upfront design) no longer hold, so Scrum’s certification-driven spread becomes a marketing win not a method; shows common realities: persistent water-scrum-fall with upstream budgets and downstream release gates, cross-functional teams only work when the tech landscape is homogeneous, pair programming consistently speeds learning and delivery, measurable business impact replaces story points, and true agility requires continuous delivery, rolling Opex funding and radical diversity to scale.
