The Agile and InnerSource playground
summary
Argues that Agile and InnerSource are complementary and reports concrete findings: a 42‑respondent Digital AI survey shows heavy hybrid practice, InnerSource appears in Gartner 2023 top‑six engineering trends, and a five‑year thread from Galway 2019 to a HICSS 2025 paper traces progress. Identifies real friction: tacit knowledge, closed comms, role mismatch and scaling headaches. Recommends small experiments — open public channels, permit external PRs, public backlog, modularize code, enforce CI/CD — and says pilots at customers increase resilience but require explicit docs and governance. open communication channels allow external pull requests public backlog visibility
