The One Agile Recipe You'll Ever Need
The authors of the Agile Manifesto purposefully set out to explore and find better methods of developing software. From those four simple value statements, an industry-wide transformation was born. But is it working for you? If only there was a recipe to follow to ensure we set our teams up to be successful and enable them to avoid complications, misunderstandings, and bad tastes. Good news… there is a recipe! However, you need to toss in some of your own ingredients and stir the pot a little. Find out how others are cooking their agile processes and bring some extra flavor back to your organization. In the words of Auguste Gusteau, “Anyone can cook.” With some thoughtful and deliberate action, it can also be that way with agile.
