Steve Denning, a senior contributor to Forbes magazine, published an insightful article titled “Understanding Fake Agile” which definitely is worth a read. The author defines three laws of Agile: the law of the customer, the law of the small team, and the law of the network. This approach can certainly be argued, but it makes sense as Denning intends to cover both operational agility (improving the business) and strategic agility (creating new products and services) in his definition. And he puts his standpoint clearly: “Agile and bureaucracy are mutually incompatible: in the medium term, only one can survive.” [poet-badge]
