Hi Brian, Just my 2c worth...
Like yourself, I've worked in this industry a lot of years, and personally found that the word "agile" is very overloaded. In fact, the term itself is just a broad methodology of incremental development that is in no way industry specific, and it covers a few variant disciplines. But what most call "agile" in the software industry is a discipline called "scrum"; referring to a highly collaborative team-based approach that follows a particular set of principles and role structure. In practice, workplaces implement it slightly differently, with various degrees of success, depending on the personalities and capabilities of those involved. While there's certainly something to be learned from adopting an agile approach, it isn't the utopia that some make it out to be. It takes people to drive it, and at the end of the day it's people and not the process that gets stuff done. > > "... as long as the candidate showed a willingness to operate in an > > agile way." > > Hmmm.
