## Is Agile Still Radical Enough for Sustainable Innovation?
In collaboration with Agile Coaching Europe
Agile was created in 2001 as a radical break from bureaucracy.
In 2025, as it turns 25 years old, it has increasingly become part of the administration machinery it once challenged.
For teams building durable, long-lasting, and sustainable products — from advanced transportation to next-generation energy systems — this raises an important question:
👉 Is today’s Agile mindset still enough for the complexity and longevity modern sustainability demands?
