I think that is one reason I relished your book. It was pragmatic and yet made for an exhilarating - and insightful - read. As someone who is extremely wary of dogma/zeal in any aspect of life ( and unfortunately one encounters that a lot in the Agile community) I appreciated the focus on delivering value. That, and not adherence to some process, is the north star.
The fragile identity of the evangelist you write about, very much reminded me of narcissism, particularly the way an evangelist lashes out when feeling their identity is threatened. This is a good watch, explaining the dynamics more : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pRAk18e7tu8&pp=ygURY292ZXJ0IG5hcmNpc3Npc3Q%3D
I’m glad my Scrum Master and I usually align and actually we have and do adapt a lot of scrum ways to fit our team but I’ll still send this post his way 😅
Great one, Maarten!
Makes me curious to try to find your book digitally one day! I still haven’t done that!
I have deep respect for your sharing ways of getting results. You are so refreshing!
Thank you ♥️

Good share! Yeah, I see the similarities indeed.
