This episode of Agile Caravanserai is a presentation from Bob Martin given at our recent Lean + Agile DC Conference.
Bob Martin self proclaims himself as the Agile Curmudgeon yelling at the neighborhood kids to get off his lawn. In this talk, he will describe was agile was, is, and should be. No muss, no fuss, no adjectives like Lean, Scaled, SAFE, LESS, or anything else. Just agile, the whole agile, and nothing but the agile.

Today’s press is full of AI prognostications, many predicting a dire future. They are all wrong. History tells us that predicting technology’s path is futile. However, preparing for it is not.

Join Jim Highsmith whose recent book, Wild West to Agile, delves into the history of software development and establishes an historical framework that helps prepare us for the future.
