Lean Tech Manifesto Abstract

The release of the Agile Manifesto on February 13th, 2001, marked a revolutionary shift in how tech organizations think about work. By empowering development teams, Agile cut through the red tape in software development and quickly led to significant improvements in innovation speed and software quality.

Agile’s new and refreshing approach led to its adoption beyond just the scope of a development team, spreading across entire companies far beyond the initial context the manifesto’s original thinkers designed for it. And here lies the problem: the Agile Manifesto was intended for development teams, not for organizations with hundreds or thousands of people.

As enthusiasts of Agile, Fabrice and his partner went through phases of excitement and then frustration as they experienced these limitations firsthand while their company grew and our clients became larger. What gave them hope was seeing organizations on both sides of the Pacific, in Japan and California, achieve growth and success almost unmatched while retaining the principles that made the Agile movement so compelling.

The “Lean Tech Manifesto” resulted from spending the past 15 years studying these giants and experimenting as they scaled their business. It tries to build on the genius of the original 2001 document but adapt it to a much larger scale. Fabrice shares the connection we identified between Agile and Lean principles and the tech innovations we found the best tech organizations adopt to distribute work and maintain team autonomy.

?? Hands-on Agile 2025 Is Here?—?Join 500-plus Peers: From Concept-Based to Context-Based Agility

I am thrilled to announce that Hands-on Agile 2025 is officially on the horizon and will be free to attend from February 4–6, 2025. This time, we will focus on how Agile needs to evolve from concept-based agility to context-based agility.

But before we discuss what that means, let’s take a step back and consider why Hands-on Agile 2025 is going to be a can’t-miss event for everyone in the agile community.

For those unfamiliar, Hands-on Agile isn’t just another conference. It’s an event built around the Barcamp model, meaning it’s a self-organized, community-driven gathering with one goal: Sharing knowledge and experiences.

From February 4 to 6, 2025, we will spend three energizing days engaging in sessions, practicing agile games, sharing war stories, and learning directly from each other. Hands-on Agile is all about creating a space for practitioners, coaches, leaders, and newcomers to connect in a truly hands-on way.
