Despite all the easily available books and courses on How To Do Agile, we can't seem to keep the Agile Principles straight. Easily half of them are abused in just about every corporate environment. Is it any wonder our reputation is on the rocks?
It's a very human tendency to assume that if something is good, more is better. The real truth is that too much of anything - even a good thing - creates overwhelm, complexity and confusion. And we definitely don't need more of THAT in our practice....
Shouldn't Agile rest on a spirit of rebellion? A better way? If so, we shouldn't be craving templates - instructions on how to do things in a set way. If we all follow the pattern, there's no room for original solutions. And there's no real value in sameness...

Following trends might feel safe, but real success requires risk and authenticity. Time to step away from conformity and build something that genuinely matters. Let's talk about breaking rules and embracing originality.
What do you do when the impact of our work feels diminished? Learn how to rediscover our value, evolve our roles, and continue to make meaningful contributions as the landscape shifts
Each one of us is a creator. Regardless of our roles—whether we’re developers, agile coaches, or product owners—we all have the power to make an impact through our unique contributions.
If you're an agile practitioner, coach, or leader, there's one thing we all fundamentally crave—freedom.
