Editor's Notes
- Agile is a set of values. It is not a set of practices. We need to keep this in mind if we’re to hold true to the intent of the Agile Manifesto.Scrum is a process and a set of practices derived from Agile. Agile is about culture. A culture that embraces change. If a Scrum development site does not embrace change, they are not Agile.It’s a very important distinction and one we need to keep in mind anytime we bandy about terms like Large Scale Agile. Along the lines of Team Empowerment, we should allow teams to work they way that best suits them. Even if those teams are working in a multi-team environment and not all teams are using the same methodology.
