If you were born into tech in a modern corporation, you might think that “agile” is an estimation technique based on repetition and practice, or perhaps a workforce performance management system based on constant checkpoints.
Would they know it was about making software better?
Would they recognize the goals of healing the mgmt/dev divide, working within capacity, delivering early & often?
Would they recognize autonomous, cross-functional, self-managing teams as a bedrock concept?

If I were to transplant the original Agile Manifesto signers from 2001 into your shop on Monday, would they recognize anything of their work or intentions?
This is not “look how you suck” but a request that you look at what your “agile” is like: where do you spend your time and energy? Is it in cross-functional, atomic, autonomous teams producing working software early and often to satisfy your product community?
