Agile – do they secretly have a plan?

Results of my recent survey on Linkedin:

So it’s quite a mixed bag;

  • a few are really doing pure agile with no plan, just staying flexible and making it up as they go along,
  • a third have a list of deliverables but no date planned, so they are just working through the list without a timescale, unable to forecast the delivery of anything; so that’s a total of 45% who can’t forecast anything.
  • a third have a rough plan in their head (in some ways this is the worst – terrible project management, but also not really properly agile)
  • and finally a quarter of “agile” people have a Gantt chart, so they’re not really doing Agile, they are doing waterfall but don’t want to admit it.
