If you're not moving you're not agile

September 8, 2009 by Mendelt Siebenga

Lately I've seen a couple of doom scenario's scetched out for agile. It seems agile is dead or at least dying at the hand of the PMI. I don't want to bash the authors of these articles. I respect them and agree with most of their arguments but not with their conclusions. Agile is changing, sure, but it's not dying, we're all about embracing change right?

At it's core agile isn't a process or a methodology, it's a set of principles with a framework of practices to support them. One of the most important principles is about change, not just in our requirements but in our process, our organization and even in change itself. Agile is about improving your process, trying out new things checking them against our principles and core values and keeping what works.
