The Failure of Agile 11 years ago
"Agile methods ask practitioners to think, and frankly, that‘s a hard sell."
Wonderful point, and spot-on. But that's not just for agile newbies, I'd extend that to other groups that are immersed in something. The best example I can think of at the moment are MBAs. For whatever reason, smart people go off to charm school, earn their MBA, and then forget how to think.
