A Morning Thought: The Greatest Contribution of Agile

Today morning I came across Henrik Kniberg’s video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb0O0Lgs9zU titled Culture over Process. What hit me was that it was about Culture.

Wait a minute… Culture? But we talk about software development… IT… 0-1 world. So what the heck is Culture doing here?

For any agilist, this is not a strange subject. We have been talking about this for more than ten years. We, as a community, consider this to be an important part of our jobs - the so-called “soft skills”. What’s more interesting, terms like software development and soft skills have a similar wordbase ;-)

The Human-Side of Agile

I believe that the greatest contribution of Agile is bringing the human-side to the techy world.

Not a bunch of methodologies. Not a bunch of practices. We have started to think about people. And that is what I love about it.
