'Agile' and us
Agile is not one of our methodologies. Lean Agile are our only default way of working. While Agile is an umbrella of methodologies from Scrum, XP, Crystal, DSDM etc. When we talk of Agile we mean Scrum+XP+Lean. We don't believe in Scrum without XP, nor do we believe in 2 day workshop trained Scrum Masters or certifications like PMP, Prince2 and blah. "There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path"-Matrix (The Movie) We believe in people walking the path and us walking with them for some distance side by side.
