PM Cowboy Podcast

How Fragile is Agile - What is the State of Agile Today with Roy Schilling: Agile Evangelist, Pragmatist and Practitioner Join us with an absolutely honest and pragmatic Subject Matter Expert on all things Agile, to discuss the future of Agile and Project Management as a discipline.

Agile has been the hype for the last 15 years. Only to be surpassed by AI and its potential for project management. As a PM Cowboy I am absolute advocate of many agile principles, methods and tools, but am totally annoyed with the empty promises and exaggerated claims and the assumption that it will replace classical PM Practices. The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time - is an example of the hyperbolic statements made about what Agile Practices can do for your projects. FACT; 80% of all executive use the word AGILE in formulating their expectations of operational excellence, but maybe 5% actually know what it entails DOING agile. And don't buy into the unrealistic agile slogan "it's more important to be agile, than do agile." In the real world YOU ARE WHAT YOU DO not what you talk about.

Talks about why Agile Principles are often misunderstood and misused, what it take to do it better.
