In its most simplistic terms, there&#8217;s the business planning cycle, the sprint planning cycle, and the daily standup cycle. We can&#8217;t take too seriously the importance of these interlocking cycles of interaction, primarily because they rapidly generate a high amount of complexity &#8211; more than can easily be handled by the typical ad hoc level of comunication quality that exists among stakeholders, project leaders, dev teams, and other contributors.<\/p>\n<p>For whatever reasons, when it comes to human relationships we seem to want things to be simpler than they are. As any good fractal diagram illustrates, that&#8217;s probably not the most useful way to approach problem-solving. It&#8217;s probably best to assume a breathtaking degree of complexity and then be pleasantly surprised when unexpected simplicity arises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0In his Slideshare presentation on The Agile Method Ecosystem Agustin Villena makes the useful comment that Agile development functions much like fractal systems in nature: like the branching patterns of trees or the contours of a coastline, Agile delivery relies on a nested set of progressively more refined feedback loops.
