The death of Agile? Bullocks!
Ah! That was just a catchy title, Hey hey, my my, Agile can never die!
But somebody thinks that agilists are falling, declining…
I think agile is evolving, changing, have a look to the just newly created Software Craftsmanship manifesto here or the the New Left Side as the groups also calls it. It’s quite an evolution from the well known Agile Manifesto…
As aspiring Software Craftsmen we are raising the bar of professional
software development by practicing it and helping others learn the
craft. Through this work we have come to value:well-crafted software over working software over comprehensive documentation
steadily adding value over responding to change over following a plan
a community of professionals over individuals and interactions over processes and tools
impressing our customer over customer collaboration over contract negotiationThat is, while we still value the items in the middle over the items on
the right, we value the items on the left even more.
Sure Doug,
Since the page was public I just thought I could link it, is not final but is a clear signal that agile is alive, up and running!

You must be following the conversation on the Software Craftsmanship list http://groups.google.com/group/software_craftsmanship
Just to clarify, this manifesto is by no means final. We are having a pretty lively discussion about it and software craftsmanship in general on the list.
