Takeaways:
* Agile is NOT dead, contrary to what you might have read on LinkedIn. But it is evolving to adapt to a software industry which has undergone many changes since the Agile Manifesto was written in 2001.
* Agile is NOT a project management framework, which makes the Scrum Alliance merger with PMI confusing and frustrating
* Kanban is the best Agile methodology for most people (sorry Scrum)
