Agile 2020s - The Great Retrospective. The state of Agility at the dawn of 2020s.

The dawn of the 2020s is definitely a time for reflection in the Agile community on how we have been doing for the last decade, or even two decades. One can easily observe a wave of activity around that topic, yet the thoughts, comments, articles, and blog posts on the subject are fractured. Most of them are also emotionally flavoured, partial rather than systemic. At the same time, there are few holistic attempts to describe the landscape of Agile at the dawn of 2020s thoroughly. I decided to put my thoughts on paper not even only to summarize the last two decades on its own - that would be of a historical value only, but in fact, to use such a summary as data and a vehicle that will make it easier to look ahead, into the next decade or two, based on, among others, what comes up as the current state.
