David Anderson (now president of Modus Cooperandi) is definitively one of the fresh minds in what some would call the “aging narrow minded agile movement”. He has been an active practitioner for years (sprint PCS/microsoft/corbis) and is talking the language of people that actually have to deliver value for their company.
In his presentation “Future Directions for Agile” at Agile 2008 he showed how kanban can serve to unify the agile and lean principles. He also called for stopping the Agile arrogance and offered to join forces with the CMMI folks to measure enterprise success.
