Robust smidig utvikling — når resultater er viktigere enn religion

Robust agile development — when results matter more than religion

Date: March 2009 Conference: Software 2009 Slides: slideshare.net/totto

A pragmatic take on agile methods: what actually works in practice versus what the methodology orthodoxy prescribes. When delivering results should override dogmatic adherence to any single agile framework.

The argument

Agile methods are valuable. But the software industry has a tendency to turn any successful methodology into dogma, complete with certifications, approved vocabularies, and inquisitors ready to declare you "not really agile." This talk pushes back against that tendency.

The relevant question is not "are we following the process correctly?" but "are we delivering value to the customer?" Goal achievement over requirement achievement. Customer outcomes over ceremony compliance.

A pragmatic agile practice borrows from multiple frameworks, adapts to the team and context, measures itself against business results, and discards what does not help. The opposite — treating methodology as religion — produces teams that are agile in vocabulary but rigid in practice.
