Agile: another word for good sense?
May 17th, 2007
Today a lot of people wants to become agile. Well, not agile in the sense of mentally or physically quick, but Agile (yes, with capital “A”) as written in the Agile Manifesto. Why? Because it seems like a better way of doing things. This way involves:
- Empower people
- Deliver business value
- Get the client involved
- Embrace changes
Is the word “agile” good enough to represent all this? I don’t know. And to be honest, I think we really shouldn’t care. As long as people get what it stands for, the word “agile” is getting the job done.
Hi Ivan,
My concern is that I’m observing that many people don’t get what “Agile” stands for and it is too easy to instinctively believe that we just mean “agile”.
what does agile mean?I mean is there like another word for agile?I really need to know because tomorrow my project is due!
