How To Switch to Leveraging Agile

Time to Stop Doing and Start Leveraging Agile

Let’s get real about the current state of Agile in our industry and what it means for your career. I get the fear and uncertainty many of us are feeling. We’re seeing pay cuts, shrinking opportunities, and the sense that the “glory days” of Agile might be over. But it’s not the end. Agile as a mindset and practice isn’t going away anytime soon.

Companies still value Agile, even if it’s not feeding hype and dollars into it the way they once were. We’re now at the mature end of adoption curve. Like any other tech trend, the “new frontier” phase might be over, but there is lasting value in your Agile skills. As long as you’re leveraging Agile for the benefit of customers and shareholders, rather than policing framework rules.

There are two main paths forward: you can leverage your Agile experience entrepreneurially by bringing it to new business areas, or you can help organizations connect Agile to real business outcomes, especially as companies struggle to harness technologies like AI. The future is about leveraging Agile and integrating it into business operations for tangible results, not following the mechanics.

Waiting for the perfect new role isn’t a strategy. It’s time to get creative, gritty, and proactive. There are no well-worn paths here. You’ll have to use your skills of experimentation and continuous learning to restore momentum in your career. If you’ve been feeling stuck or like it’s time to give up on Agile, it’s time to think differently and seize new opportunities. Time to shift to Leveraging Agile.
