What Even is Agile?

November 05, 2025

Most companies proclaim to "be Agile", but what does that even mean? Are they? Is that a good thing? And what are all these other terms we hear about, like Scrum and Kanban? Are we Agile because we have standups and use Jira? In this episode, we take some time to understand what Agile actually is (and is not) so we have a solid foundation for fixing our Agile processes.

About Me

Hi, I'm James! I'm a software engineer who has been building software for over 25 years. I've worked on a lot of code, worked in a lot of systems, and worked with a lot of people in that time. I decided to make this podcast to share some of the things I've learned along the way.

If I have one, I'd say my superpower is being a highly extroverted storyteller. I love sharing stories, building empathy, and learning from other's experiences.

Join me every week as we explore the undertold social aspects of software engineering!
