Agile that ships. Not Agile that meets.
Plenty of teams run every ceremony and still deliver nothing new for months. Here's how to tell the real thing from the show.
Theatre
Real
The daily stand-up is a status report to the manager.
The team replans the day around the sprint goal.
Velocity goes up every sprint.
Customers get something useful every sprint.
Retro actions that nobody follows up.
One change, tried, then checked next sprint.
A board everyone updates and nobody reads.
A board the team uses to make decisions.
Measure what shipped, not what met.
