Agile Does Not Fix!

Luis Jurado

Agile does not fix poor leadership.

Agile does not fix poor management

Agile does not fix lack of engagement

Agile does not fix company political games

Agile does not fix people’s ego

Agile does not fix command-and-control culture

Agile does not fix poor behaviors, culture, and mindset

Agile does not fix the over-allocation of people

Agile does not fix lack of focus & commitment

Agile does not fix poor customer focus

Agile does not fix poor process workflow

Agile does not fix poor communication/collaboration.

Agile does not fix the lack of collaboration between Business & IT

Agile does not fix the lack of people’s motivation

Agile does not fix poor HR compensation process that does not set the right people’s behavior.

Agile is not magic nor a silver bullet!

Agile makes it all visible & transparent, but a substantial intentional effort needs to be taken by those in the process willing to fix such things.

Agile has tons of concepts, tools, techniques, frameworks (you name it) that can be used to fix/improve such things. Still, all the people involved need to participate with the right intention in mind, from leadership to individual contributors.
