Abstract

The culture of agile development practices and an assessment of agile's "success" were the topics of two XP2017 panel sessions. There were three primary conclusions of these two panels. Agile has high brand recognition in the software industry, but it isn't always successfully implemented. In some cases, the labels used to explain and promote agile practices can get in the way of agile success. It was also recognized that despite a negative perception, agile's reputation as being a cult was more a reflection of a small, but growing core of practitioners.
