Abstract

The Agile Software Development movement emerged from practice just like most of the works in the Agile Software Development evolved through practice. Thus, the creators and consultants of the Agile world may evangelize it with commercial concerns, resulting in “selling agility” to organizations as an object in the form of packaged practices (of methods/models/frameworks). Owing to the “sold practices” of the market and misleading misconceptions in the minds of Agile creators, there are issues in Agile like regarding it as a “holy” product and everything, binary thinking, trade-offs, and determinism that do not support agility in an absolute sense and even inhibit it, which ultimately lead to the end of AgileTM. This study handles and discusses such seven prominent misconceptions and makes a prediction about the possible course of AgileTM and rise of agility.
