Grassroots agile - rise of the heretics
Since 2015, 14 years after the Agile Manifesto, there has been a spurt of new grass-roots agile frameworks and philosophies. Why might this be? Is there an Agile Reformation underway, or is this a case of natural evolution?
We will walk a timeline from the inception of agility to the present day, identifying key themes that emerged during this period, and examining the contexts from which they emerged. We will consider examples of emerging agile thought, and a possible connecting thread between them.
Where might these trends lead, and what do they mean for us as agile practitioners, and for agility in general?
