Finding Modern Agile

Being the longtime, die hard Scrum advocate that I know I am, it’s with somewhat mixed emotions I’ve just now discovered Modern Agile.

Modern Agile is ultra-light, the opposite of mainstream Agile, which is drowning in a bloated tangle of enterprise tools, scaling frameworks and questionable certificates that yield more bureaucracy than results.¹

The four principles, values, cornerstones, or whatever you want to call them, are elegant distillations of my beloved Scrum and certainly of all of the agile frameworks and toolboxes:

• Make people awesome
• Make safety a prerequisite
• Experiment and learn rapidly
• Deliver value continuously

However, I would probably not understand this ultra-lightness and the four principles as easy(?) if I didn’t come from other agile experiences.

I am quite intrigued, and very curious to explore Modern Agile from my latest standpoint; that of me being a manager.

There’s lot to explore, digest, learn, and perhaps even internalise from finding Modern Agile.
