Dear Agile, I’m Tired of Pretending (2018)

It does not say, “leaning out your org,” “paying down transformation debt,” “cutting it out with this command-and-control crap,” “focusing on outcomes and getting better at discovery work,” “fixing your medieval budgeting system,” or any of the other far more value-adding things people have tried to glom onto it. If you do discovery work with Agile teams, the next time you’re asked to “demonstrate your worth,” try this. You had leaders trying to keep control of the system at the top and Agile teams trying to drive value closer to the source (the actual users and customers).
