    Often Customers provide half baked solutions with no linkage to value. An Agile team needs examples linked to the Business Value they provide.

  • The Limits of Agile

    The problems faced by teams that are attempting Agile in non-traditional settings aren't that Agile principles are inapplicable, nor that the feedback cycle is doomed to failure; but rather, outside of a certain Agile sweet-spot there are additional barriers and costs to applying Agile techniques. None of these obstacles prevents Agile in itself but each increases the cost of getting to Agile.
