Why Agile will Die

• It is being sliced and diced into opposing camps
• It existed before it was named, and the name is ceasing to fit the idea
• It is an IDEA. Ideas are not practical until they are practice
• Before we had Agile, we worked in an Agile fashion. More got done. Less books were sold. A candle is burning at both ends
• Certifications are transparent, as the MCSE was in the late 90′s
• Agile was never alive. It is the Unicorn of software development.

More reasons? Yep. Just only have time for these right now.We have gone from “Agile is cowboy coding” to over responding to that notion by creating a PMI of Agility. It is not logical, and will only stand for so long.

One more: people are too emphatic about their particular Agile camp and too ready to accept ideas as real entities that dictate without context, as if they were handed down from the Heavens.  It hurts the community. Not the Agile community, but the community of software engineers.
