In 2001, a group of people with all different styles of developing software came together in a cabin in Utah to find commonalities in all their individual styles. They already knew that traditional, waterfall approached project couldn’t cut it anymore, but what would? The Agile Manifesto was written in that cabin. A manifesto that would have a massive impact on the way we develop products. Arie van Bennekum, part of that group. joins us today to discuss how they got to their agreement in the first place, what he feels is the state of it after 20 years, and how to move forward.  What you’ll discover in this show:-        The manifesto is a fundamental set of principles when working with business agility -        Agility has no end state. But we’re also nowhere near where we could be. -        Pushing the status quo helps to make an agile transformation stick  Speakers: Arie van BennekumThought leader at Wemanity Group and IFAAIArie is a pragmatist who accommodates his pragmatism in structure, discipline and common sense.
