I was reading about Agile and this struck me early morning. (early morning yosika vendiya mattera idhu? No wonder i am still single)

I think life in itself is an exercise in Agile. Lets for a moment replace software development with life.

I get up every morning and think:
What did i do yesterday, What am i going to do today, how am i going to do it, what are the obstacles - if solveable seek and collaborate with those who can help, if else TiG (Trust in God) and move on.

I also,
Iterate new ideas with team (friends, loved ones, family is our cross functional team)- it can be for any activity.
Continuously validate (established values, beliefs,assumptions, goals).
Adapt to new conditions, situations and opportunities.
Is this not Agile?? In my understanding, it is.

Life can be very active if approached this way.

Some people may dispute the concept of continously validating beliefs and values but we stupid humans keep evoloving faster than we can accept it. I used to hate Agile sometime back. I am still not convinced about how it can be adopted for UI processes, not entirely seen a project be successfully implemented using Agile methods. But for managing life, i think none betters Agile principles.

I think Agile sucks in the Indian IT industry because it requires face to face communication among the team in the entire span. Some idiots think it can be replaced with telephone calls during morning and evenings with onsite and offshore which soon becomes nothing but a ritual.
