Humans were Agile way before Agile or Scrum was even born
Majority of the fortune 500 companies use Agile & Scrum Methodologies to increase efficiency in their teams, navigate complexity & drive innovation.?
But what if we told you the essence of Agility has been ingrained in human behavior since ancient times?
How so?
Long before the emergence of Agile methodologies in the tech industry, our ancestors exhibited remarkable Agility in their daily lives. Here are some intriguing real-world examples of the timeless nature of human Agility:
1. Hunter-Gatherers
When faced with unpredictable weather, they didn't stick to rigid plans. Instead, they adapted to new hunting strategies, explored new territories, & collaborated closely with their tribe to ensure survival. This ability to adapt to changing circumstances mirrors the agile mindset of flexibility & responsiveness.
2. Seafarers & Explorers
Centuries ago, brave sailors sailed across uncharted waters in search of new lands & trade routes. Despite facing deadly storms & unknown challenges, they embraced uncertainty, adapted, changed course, & worked together to overcome challenges. Their ability to adjust & collaborate embodies the Agile spirit in uncertain times.
3. Artisans & Craftsmen
Craftsmen honed their skills through iterative experimentation & continuous improvement. When crafting intricate sculptures or architectural marvels, they embraced feedback, refined their techniques, and iterated upon their creations until perfection was achieved. This feedback & iterative approach mirrors the iterative nature of Agile.
These examples illustrate that agility is not a modern phenomenon but a timeless aspect of human nature.?
After all, humans were agile long before Agile/Scrum was born – it's simply in our nature (or should we say our DNA ??)
