Being Agile, not just Doing Agile, that's the trend.
Distributed Agile
development - agile teams not collocated in one place, but distributed
geographically. Distributed work is where there are whole, cross-functional
teams in various locations, each of which is capable of taking on some work
items and delivering complete work. It takes process maturity for agile
programming -- guiding principles that help in understanding how agile and
efficient your process is.
Agile at Scale: Scalable agile is an agile software development process that refers to the ability to manage large projects with multiple teams, or the collaboration between multiple agile teams for large projects - Scrum of Scrums. It requires considerably more understanding of what is appropriate; there can be no "out-of-the-box" solution. Agile practices will be used at business level too-not only for development projects. Business epics (demand management) will be managed by agile practices, using a Kanban board to follow up business demands' evaluation workflow and provide full traceability of execution of demand
DevOps, with the
goal of extending lean/Agile end to end, from an idea to production, will
become a major channel for existing organizations that are trying to become
Agile. It seems to offer the most promising method of breaking Agile out of the
development ghetto by explicitly involving Ops without the "Development
Uber Alles" mentality that early Agile initiatives are prone to and
provides an acceptable banner for other organizations to join the parade. Agile
will applied in areas where it has not gone before.
Agile Process
Maturity: Agile quality assurance and control concepts will continue to
mature. Currently many equate quality with testing as focus in agile is on
working product. This will change as more emphasis is placed on process control
and other product attributes (usability, maintainability, goodness of fit,
etc.). More applications areas will be addressed that will stimulate the
continued growth and maturity of agile methods.
"Build the right
thing" along with "building it right". More emphasis
will be placed on the practice rather than dogma. What works will replace what
is fashionable and theologically correct. Talent recruiting is less dependent
on certifications and more dependent on skill and reputation. That means
leveling up agile teams on:
- Customer Development
- Business Model Generation
- Lean Canvas
- Lean Startup
- Experiment Design

From doing Agile to
being agile, for the first time since the industrial revolution, indeed,
it’s a digital transformation, you’re beginning to see significant competition
to the corporate *structure*. There’s an increase in interdisciplinary
connection with those who understand culture. Agile and the Information Economy
are accidentally working hand-in-hand to challenge the very understanding of
how to run a business, not just "how to write software”. We will hopefully
stop defining systems-thinking as production-line models in purely IT terms and
address the human component as well
More metrics and
measurement will be applied to provide evidence that business goals are
being met by agile projects, stakeholders are satisfied, techniques are working
and business value is being generated. Measurement will help show what
works and value will become quantified rather than theoretically. Use of
metrics will be an enabler with adaptation of statistical process control and
measurement
Fundamentally the trend is shifting from dong Agile to being
agile. at its core, agile is a mindset.
