[OSList] Agile & letting go

[Daniel Mezick]

Hi Diane,

Thanks for your encouragement going into Quebec next week!

The reality is that you (and others here) have helped to sharpen and 
refine and improve the message I am now delivering. I think I am very 
fortunate in this regard. Thanks to all of you and especially Diane, for 
your help.

I wonder if we will begin to see the effective use of invitation, in 
Agile adoptions, in the next few years...hmm, let's see what develops.

Cordialement,
Dan

Here are some links to articles on Open Agile Adoption that are 
appearing on INFOQ:

Here is a 16-minute video that pretty much explains the problems with 
the standard Agile adoption practices:
