Less dogma. More delivery.
Cadence Agile Consultancy Blog Posts
I’m deeply passionate about agile and unapologetically opinionated about how it should be implemented. Too often, agile is reduced to ceremonies and jargon rather than used as a practical way to deliver better outcomes. The views shared in this blog are shaped by over 30 years of experience in software delivery using agile methodologies—across complex programmes, real-world constraints, and teams that actually have to ship value. These posts aren’t theory or trend-chasing; they’re grounded opinions formed through what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what genuinely helps teams and organisations succeed.
Story points were meant to help teams understand capacity — not start arguments.
This post cuts through the dogma to focus on what estimation is really for: better conversations, better teams, and better delivery.
