Highway to Hell or High Maturity? Second-Generation Agile—Advanced concepts in product development April 21 4/21/2020 11:00:00 AM 4/21/2020 11:35:00 AM 11:00 AM - 11:35 AM When agile development practices were introduced they were a major revolution in how software was made into products. Most agile adoption focuses on sets of practices. What do you do when you run out of practices? What do you do when conditions on the ground shift out from under the practices? Once those practices are in place, there's not much else left. "Second-Generation Agile" are *advanced* product development concepts, collectively called "Flow." Flow principles promote agility, are inherently resilient to changes in circumstances, and add an economic decision-making nervous system that beginner agile practices alone didn't include. Flow principles are a path (but not a shortcut!) towards CMMI high maturity. Meanwhile, CMMI's other practices solidify Flow principles and extend agile.
