  • Agile Like a Sticky Pot

    by Frank Krasicki,

    Your message is awaiting moderation. Thank you for participating in the discussion.

    Jesper's observations, while both sincere and well-intentioned, sound more like an agile apologist's epiphany rather than a whole-hearted embrace of Kanban. Much of Jesper's talk is anecdotally coupled to having been married to definitions of both lean and agile that defined him as an evangelist for those things he now realises fall far short of what they were supposed to do.

    And even in adopting Kanban, Jesper's critiques seem to be born of Kanban's uncomfortable interference with accommodating both the agile practices he clings to and the unmentioned zealots who are still hard-core believers in the last lean-agile silver bullet.

    Interesting, nonetheless.

    Hi Frank
    Thank you for your comment. I am always looking to improve my presentations and I think you have some very valid points. Could I ask you to elaborate a bit more on the following to sentences since I am not sure I fully understand what you mean:

    "anecdotally coupled to having been married to definitions of both lean and agile that defined him as an evangelist"

    "the unmentioned zealots who are still hard-core believers in the last lean-agile silver bullet"


    Also any suggestions as to how I could change structure and content would be much appriciated.
    Thanks in Advance
    Jesper
