The Evolution of Agile Practices
Agile methodologies have significantly transformed software development practices over the past two decades. Initially considered avant-garde and even reckless, Agile has gained acceptance as a standard approach across various organizations, blurring the lines between project roles and responsibilities. Cross-functional teams have now become commonplace, focusing on collaborative problem-solving rather than isolated task execution. This shift has rendered discussions on Agile's relevance less interesting, as it has become an essential part of daily development life, much like having access to clean drinking water.
