Celebrating 20 Years of the Agile Manifesto — feat. Giles Lindsay (Agility Leadership Network)

Show notes

Previewing the Agile 20 Reflect Festival marking 20 years of the Agile Manifesto. Giles Lindsay joins Jonathan to promote the Agile 20 Reflect Festival, a global celebration of the Agile Manifesto's 20th anniversary featuring over 600 events and a February 12 mega-event with headline speakers. They trace Agile's origins from waterfall and V-model days through Scrum, XP and DSDM to today's focus on business agility. The discussion argues that Agile must move beyond the technology team to encompass finance, marketing and the whole organization, warning against crushing organizations into rigid frameworks. Giles stresses getting leadership inspired, taking everyone on the journey, and treating Agile as an ongoing evolution rather than a one-time transformation. **In this episode:** - Agile Testing - QA Leadership - Mentoring & Community - Quality Culture - Communication & Soft Skill
