Join us in celebrating 25 years of Agile! On this milestone anniversary of the Agile Manifesto, read a brief history of the Manifesto’s creation at Snowbird, Utah, told through participant recollections and the pivotal moments that shaped the four Agile values, 25 years later. Be sure to read to the end, as we take a look ahead to see where Agile might go next.

Do this now. Open an email. Write to yourself. Use the subject line “What I Control.”
Say one thing you need to accept. Then one small thing you’ll do before lunch. Maybe resend info. Maybe ask for clarity.
Save it. Close it.
Fighting what’s real doesn’t make you stronger. Meeting it does.

"Not only does an agent not have the ability to evolve a specification over a multi-week period as it builds out its lower components, it also makes decisions upfront that it later doesn't deviate from."

Competing in my first #dog #agility competition today with Grace and while we got disqualified in the first round, but in the second and third - not only fastest but also zero faults.
Quite chuffed with the results #DogsOfFedi #fedidog
"When unimaginable headlines become reality, you've got to come up with once unimaginable strategies!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
If the future gets weird, maybe your strategies need to get weird as well.
Think about it: we are less than thirty days into 2026, and the rulebook hasn't just been rewritten—it’s been incinerated. We are witnessing a compression of history, where decades of change are now crammed into days. The definition of "stability" has evaporated, replaced by a relentless volatility that refuses to pause.
Headlines that were unimaginable a decade ago, let alone a year ago, are now common.
All of this means that if you are still operating on last year's logic, you aren't just behind; you are watching a different movie entirely. And this one isn't a rom-com, it's a horror show.
In that context, any comfort zone is gone. The headlines proving that "it can't happen here" are being printed daily. In this environment, caution is the most dangerous strategy of all. Thinking fast and moving faster is the only way through the mess.
To survive this year (and beyond), you need to dismantle your assumptions, destroy your complacency, and challenge your belief in stability..
You need to build strategies that feel as radical as the news cycle itself.
This means you have to stop planning for the probable and start preparing for the unimaginable.
Because the unimaginable is now reality.
After all, this week, Greenland, next week?

Futurist Jim Carroll is not a big fan of 2026 so far!
"Resilience is rarely a solo endeavor." - Futurist Jim Carroll
Sometimes it involves combining two working parts to build one functioning whole!
Just when I thought I had cornered the market on orthopedic drama in our household, the universe had second thoughts.
It turns out my wife has now torn her Achilles, meaning she is heading into a walking boot or cast just as I’m getting my walking stride back.
We have officially become a two-person logistics puzzle!
In the corporate world, I talk about "agile teams" and "complementary capabilities." Well, I am now living it. I have the legs, but still need to be cautious with the bending or the lifting. She has the upper body strength and the organizational skills, but is on crutches until she gets fitted with the proper walking boot.
Separately, we are both compromised. Together, if we coordinate our movements like a synchronized swimming team, we make one fully functional human being.
How's your 2026 going so far?
The lesson? We often think of resilience as "toughing it out alone." But real resilience—whether in a marriage or a company—is often about the humility to say, "I am the legs, you are the strategy." It’s about auditing your collective assets and realizing that while neither of you is 100%, together you can still move the needle forward.
True partnership is about combining the pieces that still work to build one functioning unit!
It’s going to be a long winter, but at least we know we can't run away from our circumstances. (Cue LOL!)
Onwards!
(Carefully).

It is 71 days to spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Not that Jim Carrol is counting or anything.
