Stumbling towards agility
Posted by bjallmon on April 23, 2009
I’ve been developing software now for several years. Most of those years have been as a consultant among various clients, cultures, architectures, methodologies, and technologies. Now I’m an author, speaker, and currently working for a product company that builds medical management software for the insurance industry.
Through it all I’ve seen one common element among folks that I’ve had the privilege of working with. Nearly every team I’ve worked with desired more agility in what they were doing. Most would agree that the affects of agility for the perceived value or inherent benefit is a good thing. For those that take that challenge on good for you. Some strive to arrive at some form of agility and get there while others well….don’t.
As for me, I’m always stumbling towards agility. It’s never perfect, sometimes ugly, not always easy, but always worth it.
