What is Agile?

Great video, I find it very relatable and so easy to understand. Thanks.

I just don't really get it. I'm an Electrical Engineer. I make hardware. I have been thrown into an environment of software engineers that are constantly throwing around jargon like "Agile", "Jira", "Scrum", etc. I have no idea what these things are or mean. So I decided that I better learn this stuff. My first stop is here. So I learned that "Agile" is not software, not an organized process, not even a checklist. It's just a set of rules, like a 12 rule version of the Ten Commandments. It's all pretty much common sense. Is this all there is to it? Where does all the hype come from? OK, now that I have mastered Agile, I guess I can move on to Jira. Maybe I can finish that and Scrum before lunch.

Great video!

Great idea

It's awesome to emphasize that agile is a set of value and principles. Too many people focus on the specific process or tools, and lead the organization less agile than before.

Thank you for this. This is a great springboard for understanding and implementing agile.

12 principles is a ton to remember, even the first one is hard to remember each day... I think the first one should be remembered each day, and if that is true a business can make money since they make value for customer...

Brilliant! What a clear and interesting video! Thank you for this!

Well explained . Subscribed. Agile explanation ;)

I swear to god i thought agile is a programming tool...

Hey Mark, You are doing a fabulous job here. The way you present things is simply amazing. Crisp and clear. Thanks for this video.

Thanks for this, Mark. I like that you stated exactly what it is and what it is not so clearly. Happy new year :)

Thanks, very informative.

Thank you sir. This was clear and efficient.

The whole "what sells today may not sell tomorrow" kinda gets me thinking... How shortsighted does a company need to be to choose to work fast instead of great? If you believe your product 'needs' to be done today, because a month later it would be 'trash'... Well that says all I need to know about your product.

Thanks for explaining Mark. I see Agile a lot but always saw ambiguous and unclear definitions. I’m understanding now that Agile is a series of principles that values working closely with the customer in implementing continuous updates to best suit the needs of the customer, with added flexibility in the ability to change according to need and accomplished through self-organized teams.

Thank you very much for helping me out understand what's the real Agile development. :) subscribed to your channel. :)

This video helps me get an accurate view of agile, thank you from a bottom of my heart.

Thank goodness they added a 1.75x speed option... Perfect....

this video is disgusting speak up and a little faster and edit out the fuckin audible pauses

Hi. I liked this video of yours. Can I share this to my students? @Mark Shead

Brother is sounds like you're going through some serious breathing problems I wish you well... Also it's Agile, not Ad-jul.

Bruh... Agile, not Agel.

The punchable face of the main character describes the Agile perfectly. It's basically pushing out unfinished product and degrading clients/consumers by making them beta testers for free. And of course, the female workers are presented as the face of the agile philosophy, and men as the business old-school opressors. Andf of course, Melanesian islanders are show as white bearded men.

Principles
- 1: The highest priority is to satisfy the customer through fast and continuous software delivery (micro deliveries = micro results)
- 2: Changes of requirements are welcomed even at the end of development. Agile processes take advantage of change as a competitive advantage for the customer.
- 3: Prioritize weekly or biweekly, or monthly delivery. Prioritize shorter time scales. (set a frequency of deliveries)
- 4: Business people and developers should work together daily throughout the project.
- 5: Build projects around motivated individuals. Provide the right environment and support your needs, trust them to get the job done.
- 6: Prioritize face-to-face communication.
- 7: Working software is the main measure of progress.
- 8: Agile Manifesto promotes sustainable development - Sponsors, Developers and users should be able to maintain a constant pace at all times
- 9: Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design increases agility.
- 10: Simplicity - the art of maximizing the amount of work not done - is essential (Less is More)
- 11: The best architectures, requirements and projects emerge from self-organised teams.
- 12: At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts their behavior accordingly. (Retrospective / Behavior adjustment)

What a great video to add more layers of confusion to what is actually a very simple idea.

We used to have daily standups, and they were useless, just repeating the same thing.
Once or twice a week is sufficient

This is my go to.
Your videos are short, fun and easy to comprehend

remarkable explanation !!!

I think agile is a mentality

fell asleep here

👌clear

I am so tired of all this management buzz shit

A great tutorial on agile

This video is offensive and absolutely appalling to the none yt people being protayed in the video. Everyone that is Yt, have normal eyes with blue or brown eye pupils.. People of color are drawn and protrayed without eyes pupils and some are drawn with their eyes closed.. This degrading to non yt people and extremely ignorant. 🤦

Nice video but you talk soo slow... :) It could have been half the length with the exact same information.

so, religion?

Thanks Mark Shead, whew... Thanks really for putting this masterpiece together in clear and detailed concepts

Is there any place where your cheatsheets are stored? Unfortunately the old links from email's subscriptions aren't working any more :/

Sincerely thank you for such a well-put explanation. Personally for me, it has been a great introduction to this topic! I am moving on to the other videos you have shared, thanks!

Thank you.

A perfect way to waste more of the day having meetings....

What a fantastic video!

sorry, but i just dont understand the fucking point. i dont understand how this is any different than just saying 'so, people work the way they wanna do it'. too wishy washy. i swear i wanna get it, but i just dont.

Fantastic
