The article critiques the evolution of Agile methodology since its inception in 2001, highlighting its adoption by 71% of US companies by 2023. Though designed to foster collaboration and flexibility, it has largely become process-oriented. With the growth of frameworks like Scrum and Kanban, a vast training industry emerged, projected to reach $142 billion by 2032. The focus on rapid delivery to customers has raised concerns among experts about the practical implications and effectiveness of these transformations, indicating potential pitfalls in Agile adoption within organizations.
When asked their goals for these transformations, 83% of managers said "fast deliveries to customers"-and that's where the trouble started.
When the Agile Manifesto was inked in 2001, it was supposed to spark a revolution, and it did: by 2023, 71% of US companies were using Agile.
Agile was designed for engineering teams but spread to whole companies, creating a sprawling training and certification industry that predicted to reach $142 billion by 2032.
The Scrum Guide agrees that "Scrum Teams are cross-functional, meaning the members have all the skills necessary to create value each Sprint."
