So far, we’ve heard from Jim Highsmith, Alistair Cockburn and Bob Martin. I hope you’ve enjoyed hearing from these authors of the Agile Manifesto. Each one of them has a unique perspective, based on their own particular experiences and backgrounds. However, as I reflected on the interviews myself, I found that 4 common messages emerged: be grateful, give back, navigate through uncertainty; and speculate and evolve to the future iteratively. I’d like to unpack those, and offer my own thoughts on them. Let’s do it!2020-12-1506 min
