Here is the synopsis of Paul’s Talk:

"Agile is Dead” has become the dominating phrase in the Software delivery community. In recent times, criticising all things Agile has almost become trendy for developers, software/platform Engineers and other IT professionals. The labelling of agile as “uffy” is something that is slowly gaining popularity.

In a technological ecosystem that prioritizes building, testing, and deploying code over Agile methods and events, this paper explores how Agile professionals, senior leadership teams, and Lean-Agile Centres of Excellence can address challenges posed by Agile scepticism. Case studies show that focusing on empiricism's pillars—Transparency, Inspection, and Adaptation—improves end-to-end product delivery for developers, software, and DevOps engineers. This approach, termed agile agnosticism, emphasizes optimizing product delivery while avoiding Agile jargon, certifications, titles, and workplace politics.


Episode Highlights:

- Agile Agnosticism: Understand how to implement Agile practices without being tied to specific frameworks.

- Practical Applications: Learn how focusing on the pillars of empiricism can enhance product delivery.

- Overcoming Scepticism: Discover strategies to address and mitigate Agile scepticism within your teams.
