49 What next? 00:49

50 Next 10 years? It s hard to make predictions especially about the future - someone More complexity, faster change. Agile will keep spreading to different industries The word Agile will fade, as the principles get more and more embedded in the way we lead and organize companies. Agile approach considered obvious, and therefore not interesting to talk about. Various agile frameworks will keep coming and going (because we re suckers for cool buzzwords and agile is a fashion industry) In complex competitive industries, organizations that don t go agile will die off.

51 Take aways AGILE Agile is a direction, not a place You won t get it right from start, so experiment a lot! Agile is a tool not a goal Distinguish between the words and the ideas Words come and go Principles are timeless Complex Distinguish between principles and practices Agile principles apply widely... but specific practices must be adapted to your context Simple Agile is optimized for complexity The more complex your environment is, the more you need agility
