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.If you enjoy the show, please leave a review!Use code PRODUCTAGILITY24 for 15% off training courses at Sheev.Sheev - https://www.sheev.co.ukHost Bio Ben is a seasoned expert in product agility coaching, unleashing the potential of people and products.
