Can Agile Work With Blockchain?
At the glibbest level, blockchain is a data structure that facilities interactions between strangers and agile is an approach to teamwork. Why shouldn’t the two go together like Holmes & Watson, David & Victoria Beckham, or Mashed Potatoes and Gravy?
If only things were so easy. Blockchain is not very well understood, even by some of the people who have made a fortune with it. Agile is so well understood that it has fragmented into different schools. Today the words blockchain and agile are not often heard in the same sentence. Yet at heart, both are rooted in software development and new ways of doing things.
In my view blockchain is going to change the world, and agile can help do it. The marriage of the two, while not inevitable, would be a good thing and avoid a lot of broken projects.
