Is This The End of Agility?

Is that too provocative a question for an agile conference?

I hope not. Surely this is exactly the place where we should be discussing such things?

Are you afraid of this question? Is the agile community afraid of this question.

We shouldn’t be afraid of it of critical thinking and less than positive results.

Agile is based on empiricism which is evidenced based just like medicine and science.

Medicine and science both embrace positive and negative test results to get better.

If we also believed in evidenced based results why would we be any different?

Perhaps this is the question we need to step change an organisations chances of success?
