Why the meaning for agile is not agile ?

Abstract

Delivering your software product or service from early concept to live and into maintenance is hard work. I have seen and been in a lot of teams and companies adopting an agile way of working in the hope to change this. It doesn’t.

Does this mean the secret sauce to success is not in your framework or methodology? But why are we contributing faster delivery, better quality, more ownership and many other benefits to this agile way of working? Where is the link between practice and the vague guidelines of how to think about certain values over others?

Working at King taught me to forget about the sauce. Creating a game is and always will be hard. But fortunately, there are some flavors that help you through the uncertainty and unpredictability of change.
