DOP 228: The Customer Is the True North Star

#228: The Agile Manifesto is now more than 20 years old. However, even after all this time, instead of helping organizations create and deliver software faster to satisfy customer needs, many times Agile principles are turned into rigid processes that stifle innovation and limit customer satisfaction. Have far have we strayed from the core principles of the manifesto? In this episode, we talk with Paul Stovell, CEO and founder of Octopus Deploy, about the realities of Agile in 2023.
