I hope &#x27;Agile&#x27;, as a product, with the capital A, that sells lots of worthless pulp fiction &quot;how to&quot; books, with dogmatic consultants propagating useless practices they neither understand nor can follow, well I hope that is dead. It was and is a cancer on the industry as a whole.<p>I however hope &#x27;agile&#x27; as a spirit of talking to your users, breaking down tasks into bite size deliverables, testing, and making sure things move in a generally agreeable direction, well, I hope that persists and flourishes.
