Reasons, keep thinking!


Let me give you some facts to make it worse...


Agile is

HARD!


A lot of people won’t like it


It’s ScaryNo planning

No managers

No careers

#NoEstimates

No Deadlines No BDUF

“Fail Fast” No Project Manager

“Poker”“Points”

“Self-Organization”

Team Estimates

“Celebrate Failure”


Agile Will Lower Your Productivity (at least at the beginning)


It will challenge the Status Quo


It will ask for impossible


Your people will be asked to

RETROSPECT

PLAN IMPROVE Self-Organize

Write Tests

Work In Pairs

Demo

LEARN Read

Move cards Remove Impediments

Cross-Function

Play

Empathize Play Poker

Be Transparent

Develop Team Identity

Team Up

Meet Refactor Estimate

Write User Stories

Communicate

Update Burn-Downs

List Values

Instead of “just working”!


Even worse, you are supposed to

COACH

LEAD COMMUNICATE Be Compassionate

Draw

Craft Fashionable Posters

Feel the pain

LISTEN Teach

Moderate Stay Calm

Deal with conflict

Play

Empathize Retrospect

Be their biggest fan

Buy them bagels

Facilitate

Mentor Be humble Remove Impediments

Hug trees

Be a mirror

Provide Fun


(now get ready for a big one...)


Many successful companies are

NOT Agile


Even worse, where are the Agile Hyper-Productive companies?


“They promised me Mars

Colonies... Instead, I got Facebook!”


SHOW ME THE MONEY!!


In fact, many are already leaving the Agile Ship


So let me ask again,

WHY?


Ok, right now this is like the

WORST AGILE KEYNOTE

EVER(please, remember the LOLCatz)


Let’s give you

ONE GOOD REASON

to be Agile


Survival!


Survival is a matter of adaptation


New Species Arriving


Changes in environment


Faster Product Cycles


Globalization


Deceased!


Agile is not “Conformance to the process”
