Fight The Power, indeed!
James Bach has written another great blog post with pliant leanings. This time he talks about the growing division in the agile community between capital “A” Agilists and small “a” agilists (or pliant developers as we refer to them). The fact that some leading Agilists are apparently not interested in the dictionary definition of ‘agile’ is telling.
Also, #8 on James’ list of things that the small ‘a’ agile community does is “We question. We criticize. We learn. We change. We are agile.” Sounds like PSD to me.

I support the Pliant Alliance.
What a shame that the word agile has become so radioactive that we have to go to the thesaurus to find a new term to use if we want to talk about being agile in our work.
A similar thing happened with “ad hoc” testing. That’s why we call it exploratory testing, now.
