Agile software development is an umbrella term for approaches to developing software that reflect the values and principles agreed upon by The Agile Alliance, a group of 17 software practitioners, in 2001. [Wikipedia].
Can you really apply Agile to infrastructure when it involves physical hardware? Routers, switches, racks, cabling—the stuff you can actually trip over.
Short answer: Yes, you can. But you have to stop thinking like a landlord and start thinking like an architect.
I once worked with a chap who proudly described his delivery method as:
“We do an Agile, then we Waterfall into another Agile, and then Waterfall into another Agile…”
I’m sorry, what?
