Thanks Patrick, and welcome to Tyner Blain. I’ll have to noodle on that diagram some. Not sure I’m immediately bought in to some of the “causal” relationships you identified – but let me think before I form a “more baked” opinion.

Folks – check out Patrick’s diagram, and engage in the conversation on his site!

Scott,

I am working on my Masters and looking at organizational decision-making through Agile principles. One of my interests is to try and identity the qualities of an Agile organization, and then map those through adoption: causality, if you will.

The result looks a lot like a maturity model in the sense that an organization could use it to assess their level of adoption (authenticity and maturity). This is a work in progress, I would be interested your though thoughts. The model can be found at: http://openmasters.wordpress.com/agile-causality/

Thank you,
Patrick

Great point, Roger. If you do an iteration (a tree falls in the forest), and no one’s around to give you feedback (hear it), does it make you any better (any sound)?

If there's one basic thing I recommend agile teams do, it's time-boxed iterations with demos. I call it "demonstration-based agile (DBA)".

I “buried” the call to action in the article – but I would really love to have our agile practicioners and experts chime in on the hierarchy of ‘what’s next’ that I’ve observed.

TIA!
