Strategy Grounds Agility
Agile is everywhere and it’s lost its edge. What once symbolised adaptability now often signals chaos.
The problem isn’t the methodology itself. Agility is a framework for delivering results, not a replacement for thoughtful strategy. True agility allows teams to pivot efficiently when markets shift but only within the boundaries of a clear plan.
Without one, "agile" becomes an excuse for reactive, directionless decisions that waste resources and frustrate teams. Strategy grounds agility. It ensures flexibility serves a purpose, not a whim.
Agility thrives when paired with strategy. Let’s stop mistaking movement for progress.
