Beyond Agile - Where are we heading?
11 likes3,680 views
The document discusses where agile practices are heading and what may lie "beyond agile". It suggests agile practices are evolving towards more integral stages where all voices are heard, decisions are made through collective intelligence, and organizations have no hierarchy and self-manage through advice processes. Examples provided include holacratic organizations like Zappos that have no managers or job titles. The document argues organizations must become more adaptive to change and deliver faster value, not just faster delivery.
