Someone asked me today:
"Why are you so intent on defending #Agile. It has been corrupted. Just let it go!" I wanted to dig into that for a sec.
1/n-Some of the most talented, helpful, effective & inspiring ppl I know professionally have *some sort of* connection to Agile

1/n-Some of the most talented, helpful, effective & inspiring ppl I know professionally have *some sort of* connection to Agile
2/n-I say *some sort of*, because the spectrum is vast.
Ppl imagine a cult. Tattoos. You believe EVERYTHING.
But the journeys ppl take are extremely varied. Maybe they worked at company X with Y. Maybe they wrote a book. Read a book. Invented a pattern. Gave a great talk.

3/n-I have a keen interest in not diminishing the work of people I have a great deal of respect for. I don't want those voices silenced/ridiculed.
I don't want their work repackaged as new without credit. That would be very sad, and a loss.
There's so much value there.

4/n-Anyway, that's where I'm coming from. Some people defend Agile with "YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG" or "THAT ISN'T AGILE". I don't find that very helpful, tbh.
I could care less about Agile (tbh). But I care deeply about the people and their work.
