"Let's trace Agile's trajectory: From 2001 to roughly 2010, Agile was a practitioner movement. Seventeen people wrote a one-page manifesto with four values and twelve principles. The ideas spread through communities of practice, conference hallways, and teams that tried things and shared what worked. The word meant something specific: adaptive, collaborative problem-solving over rigid planning and process compliance. Then came corporate capture."
"The final phase completed the inversion. The major credentialing bodies have now issued millions of certifications. "Agile coaches" who've never created software in complex environments advise teams on how to ship software, clinging to their tribe's gospel. Transformation programs run for years without arriving anywhere. The Manifesto warned against this: "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools." The industry inverted"
Agile began as a practitioner movement centered on four values and twelve principles, spreading through communities and experiments. The term originally signified adaptive, collaborative problem-solving instead of rigid planning and process compliance. Enterprises later sought to scale Agile, spawning frameworks, consultancies, and commodified transformation practices. Credentialing bodies issued millions of certifications and many coaches advise without deep product experience. Transformation programs often run for years with little outcome. Many organizations that publicly rejected the Agile label now apply its core ideas more effectively without the brand. The brand became toxic while the principles continued to spread.
