March - Agile in Practice: Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Agile in Practice: Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

When John asks colleagues about their agile practices, he says they often start with an apology. "We do agile, but we don't do capital-A Agile." John talks about why agile is a toolbox, not a strict ideology or collection of practices. Along the way, he'll also discuss where agile ideas have shown up in the past, when to foster an agile mindset, and (inevitably) movies.
