agile Teams: what we believe in
#PeopleFirstCulture, building trust first, and actively cultivating inclusion and equity
Diverse, empowered teams of people (not "resources"!) deliver the most innovative and valuable R & D (research and development) for intelligent industrial software systems
Being agile ("little-a"), not doing Agile ("big-A") - collaborating, inspecting, adapting, responding to change, and working sustainably
Blending agility and discipline (including architecture and DevOps) to deliver good R&D results
"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler" [A. Einstein]

Welcome! This Substack site is the third evolution of the online collaboration and discussion home for agile Teams:
A self-hosted Wordpress site on agileteams.com (2007-2013), which overlapped with and led to:
Wordpress.com hosted sites agileteams.wordpress.com and gsdcollaboration.wordpress.com (2009-2023), now superseded by:
Substack publications agileteams.substack.com and karensmiley.substack.com (2024+), plus a newsletter focused on AI, ML, and data (sixpeas.substack.com)
All of our content is 100% human-written. Here’s why.
All prior agile Teams and GSD collaboration content has been migrated from wordpress.com, and the original agileteams.com blog has now been migrated too, so it’s all here.
