True agility

True agility means being agile according to your own standards, regardless of outer references and models. True agility takes your unique organisation as starting-point and goes beyond models and methodologies. Are you ready for a shift?

Agile methodology, models and frameworks are very helpful and useful. At least to a certain extent. With all these models and frameworks for "implementing agile" or "doing agile" out there it tends to take away the agility because models and frameworks in essence are limited. They are limited because the range of motion and the extend of agility is restricted to the defined parameters in those models and frameworks.

Eagle in the skyAgile frameworks and methodologies tend to take away a certain responsibility, accountability and ownership because of an outward looking tendency. It is an outward looking tendency because agility is being limited to examples and references in the outside world, out there.

But being truly agile is an inward looking tendency. Being truly agile demands knowing your organisation and demands ownership and responsibility. Only by being truly agile you and your organisation can fully thrive on whatever level imaginable.
