This was an alright read. Some of the contributions I thought were a bit on the theoretical side which wasn't what I was expecting judging by the title but there were some good real life examples mixed in. Some of the points that stood out for me were (1) the importance of differentiating between Agile the process and agility as a mindset, (2) understanding that being agile and willing to change a product's direction is a good thing but changing direction doesn't come for free and (3) having a hero culture in an organisation is bad without exception.
