This week I went to an event organised by La Fosse and Intertechnica. This was a networking and discussion event with 2 speakers from Intertechnica (Rod Armstrong & a colleague) presenting 7 "sins" and opposing "virtues" followed by break out sessions to discuss them.
It certainly was a lively event, with some of the sins reflecting what happens when people adopt and perhaps bend the principles underlying underlying the "Agile Manifesto". Itwas great to hear that for most of the seasoned Agile Practitioners there, that the Agile Maifesto is not regarded as some holy dictat but more as a historical "call to arms" which, whilst useful at the time, is now rather dated and too restrictive to be regarded as the definitive bible for practising Agile.
Probably the best couplet of sin and virtue was Chaos vs Discipline. As this sparked some interesting discussion about how Chaos is in some circumstances useful for innovation and discipline for systemising value delivery, amongst other things.
Heidi Anderson of La Fosse has posted a review of the night here.
