DESCRIPTION:Brian Marick is in town to talk with us about the spirit of A
 gile:\n\nA problem with the word “Agile” is that everyone already th
 inks they understand it at a gut level. Worse\, everyone already thinks 
 they’re agile in spirit. (After all\, the thesaurus tells us the alter
 native is to be clumsy\, stiff\, slow\, and dull.) So it’s too easy fo
 r people to feel free to launch into “doing Agile” without ever havi
 ng a serious conversation about what that actually means.\n\nThis proble
 m is easily fixed. We’ll just stop talking about “Agile” and start
  speaking of “artisanal retro-futurism crossed with team-scale anarcho
 -syndicalism.”  There is\, I think\, no danger that anyone will reflex
 ively say\, “Yes!  That’s just what I’ve been wanting to do all al
 ong!”\n\nThe new name does more than just encourage conversation. It e
 ncourages conversation about those very properties of Agile that have be
 come obscure as Agile has been commoditized. In this session\, I’ll un
 pack the meanings of the new phrase and encourage you to rediscover what
 ’s been lost.\n\n\nTags: agile\, guest speaker\, spirit\n\nImported fr
