I don’t think the pandemic has affected how we would apply agility or how we would work with it. I would say that teams that are already operating with agility are going to be able to adapt to their circumstances. What I talk about a lot is the idea of contextual alignment, this model has two core elements: you have the team context; the work the team is doing and the people on the team themselves. This is obviously changing all the time. Then you have the structure; this is the way the team is working (their process) and again, the people on the team. The structure is a team’s reaction to their changing context. A team notices that their context has changed, and adjusts their structure to best support their new context.

Interview with Daniel Gagnon, the Speaker of 16th International Congress of PMI Poland Chapter, conducted by Kornelia Trzęsowska. Could you please describe to our readers what is the Disciplined Agile for you? For me, DA has always been a powerful tool that teams and organizations can use to find ways of working that respect their local culture and context – and therefore stand a much better chance of enabling progress and improvement than one-size-fits-all approaches. Could you please name the main differences between DA and pure Agile methodology? That’s easy – DA is not a methodology, it is a philosophy (or mindset if you prefer).

Interview with Thomas Zimmermann by Monika Zofia Potiopa There are still many misconceptions about Agile, such as it meaning no documentation, no processes or no plans. What steps do you think we can take to eliminate these misconceptions? At the end of the day, if you talk about Agile and particularly Scrum, you of course have documentation. Consider a list of user stories, which is essentially another way of doc¬umenting what you want to do. It is a comon misconception to say that there is no specification. Correct – there is no specification in the form of a traditional document. Instead the same content is represented in a different, but much more effective way, i.e. as a prioritized list of user stories.
