#6 - Imperfect Agile or Fit for Purpose

"Imperfect Agile or Fit for Purpose?" by James King from https://kingsinsight.com/

“Why batch value when you can deliver it continually?” - James King

In this episode James King takes us through some of his thoughts around the philosophy of value and patterns for 'agile release approaches'. We cover a bit of philosophy around Kanban lacking a bit of imagination and being a bit self-absorbed and then we get to the point. Or rather three ideas around the patterns we can look to recognize, and practices we might want to move towards.

We also find out how James' fitness instructor's mantra applies to agile. That mantra being, "Small amounts of effort applied consistently will eventually overcome large burst of effort applied sporadically". You'll find numerous hidden gems in this episode in the way of quotes from James.

What you'll also find useful from this episode is the list of tools, approaches and techniques that James has collated. Resources covering topics like 'Defining the purpose of the team' and 'games to help people learn agile'. You'll find this invaluable list on his web site at https://kingsinsight.com/kings-guide-links-to-tools-and-approaches-in-this-blog/
