Agility Through Scrum
We are told that "Agility can be achieved by being Agile through Scrum".
Let's deconstruct this promise.
Agility is the ability to adapt quickly and respond to change.
The idea is that business Agility, as opposed to Rigidity, is good to possess in today's everchanging markets. This makes sense.
Lightweight software development, an iterative and incremental approach to building software, was rebranded as Agile in 2001.
However, this is not what they mean by being Agile.
The Agile Manifesto, a proclamation document for custom software development, has morphed through philosophizing into the theory to promote Agility. This is what they mean by being Agile.
Scrum, a software development method, was promoted from the early 2,000s as the practice to promote Agility.
However, Agility, the ability to quickly adapt and respond to change, was always there and independent of the modern Agile, the journey, transformation, mindset thing.
You do not need, and perhaps should avoid, Agile, the Agile manifesto, or Scrum if you wish to achieve business agility.
