Doing Versus Being Agile

Special guest speaker Agile Bob shares a bit of his storied Agile experience…

People often say “We’re doing agile at my company.” But what does that really mean? Unfortunately it usually means the organization has picked a small number of agile practices they attempt to do without really paying attention to the overall results. If a company is “doing agile well” it may even mean they are doing as many agile practices as possible. However, in practice there is a big difference between “doing agile” and “being agile!” Companies BEING Agile perform better than companies doing agile. They see higher morale among their employees. They use Agile as a tool rather than a process. Most importantly, being Agile means being devoted to the principles which drive success rather than hoping the practices will drive success. Whether you are using XP, Scrum, AUP, Crystal or another agile methodology, come learn the basic principles and how to internalize them so your team, organization or enterprise can BE agile rather than DO agile!
