The Agile Manifesto has been signed in 2001, and since then agile practices have gone from being used in niches to become mainstream and widely adopted.

After this time, we would expect teams to move in the Dreyfus model, progressing from novice to expert levels, understanding the values and questioning the current practices. Instead, the evolution in Agile practices is presented as off-the-shelf solutions, making most agile teams stay put, changing from being novice in one set of practices to being novice in every new set which is proposed by the industry, without never really getting into its core values, and losing the focus on the main goal, which is to deliver software.

This presentation is going to question the way Agile practices are presented and adopted, and how the search for quick pre-made solutions can impact negatively the future of the movement.
