Fake Agile: What Is It and How to Avoid it?

Abstract

[eng] During the past few years, the interpretation of the term 'agile' has become so overburdened that sometimes it offers a wrong view of what agility is. This disharmony is called 'Fake agile' because there is not a complete alignment with the principles and values of agile. In this article, we deal with the causes and early symptoms that make a difference between true agile and 'Fake' agile. We identify some reasons for its emergence, we present some implications of practicing Fake agile, and we discuss how to mitigate it
