Agile software development practices and methodologies have been around for a while and have indeed become mainstream. In particular Scrum and its many variants. In this episode I talk to Raj Heda, who helps organisations roll out agile methodologies. I was interested to find out, why "Agile" has become so successful, and what it is organisations need to look out for when they roll it out.
I also wrote a brief blog post on Medium on the subject: https://medium.com/@pweschmidt/is-agile-still-agile-a13b20230bc
