Now every development organization says they are “doing Agile.” Does this mean Agile is a success? Are we seeing the results we expected? Has the term been stretched so much as to become meaningless and lose credibility? Is there a “new new thing” coming along that will subsume Agile and capture the spotlight? What can we do to keep Agile vital and relevant?

In this “state of Agile” discussion, our panel of experts will address these topics and invite the audience to submit their own questions about the direction of Agile today.
