Many years ago, I attended an Agile workshop conducted by a leading guru in a plush hotel. Everyone would get a valuable piece of paper at the end of two days proclaiming mastery to the world at large. I thought that kind of spirit was great – uplifting the masses, what? To add to that spirit of the gig, I had a private tête-à-tête with the aforesaid guru over more spirits who deemed it all very befitting.
Seriously, so many people just having gone through a few days of training program and focus on the ceremonial are missing the point of it all.
