Beyond Agile: Applied Antifragility

Agile practices and frameworks have now been around for the same amount of time (25 years) that the Waterfall approach had been when XP and Scrum were first formalized. It is high time to shine a critical light and ask ourselves just how much real progress has been achieved in terms of increased productivity. This session takes a hard look at the documented results of following prescriptive frameworks and asks a crucial question: have we reached the point where semantic diffusion has rendered the term "agile" obsolete and if so, what could we do about it? We believe that one viable option consists in moving towards an Antifragile stance (as first described in the work of Nassim Nicholas Taleb). The presentation outlines what, exactly, constitutes an "Antifragile stance" and offers actionable, real-world advice on how organizations can move beyond agile in order to position themselves to benefit, rather than suffer from, volatility and disruption.
