Off Topic: Embracing True Agility in the Software Industry

Instead of viewing agility as a separate goal, we should see it as a way to solve problems. Companies must redefine their fundamental principles and re-evaluate themselves to be successful. This transformation can take years to embed these principles into the company culture.

Agile practices need core principles for better management. You must finish specific tasks within a sprint, which is a set period, usually 1 to 4 weeks. The problem is not the process. It's what stakeholders and companies expect from each sprint. Open-source projects release software early, even if it's incomplete or buggy. Even though the software is unstable, people interested in it work together to improve it. This helps enhance open-source software.
