「 #Agile is lean—not in the Six Sigma sense, but in the “we don’t need all this ceremony” sense. It’s supposed to help us move. But most teams are stuck lugging around a bloated version that can’t 」

Many good points there and it aligns with my experiences.

The speed or velocity we need to focus on is that of FAST FEEDBACK from stakeholders/users/"the business" or whoever puts stuff into the backlog. Then have the practice to include them when their story/requirement/demand is being developed. (It's a buzz-word, but I do like "co-creation" as a concept.)

Speed in delivery comes from building what people need, built with quality (through testing) and we'll all be happy.

Delivering the wrong thing fast isn't helping anyone.

@jbz I do still think, and it depends on the organization, that agile could be leaner.

In the last projects I've been in a year and a half, the way we've done agile generated a lot of overhead and work. Like, small work.

May be the PMs / Scrum Masters tho.
