Are you afraid of uttering certain words in front of Agile coaches for the fear of getting branded as “Non Agilist” ?
I have seen many places where the teams dread using “Non Agilie” vocabulary. I thought I would make a list of words that Agilists like and Dislike :-)
Let me start with the words they don’t like to hear
- Process
- Standard
- Sign Off
- Hand off
- Change Request
- Manager
- Reporting Structure
- Hierarchy
- Distributed Development
- Command and Control
- Tracking
- Approval
- Fixed Bid Contract
- Rules
- Documentation
- Productivity
- GANTT Chart
What the Agile coaches like
- White Board/Post-Its
- Servant leader
- Time & Material
- Kanban Wall
- Open Source
- Colocation
- Self Organization
- Autonomy
- Elimination of Wastes

In the unlike column I would put GNATT Chart. At least in our organization that word has been seen as an un-Agile word.
That is a good one Andrew. I will add it.
Could anyone tell me what is agile and non-agile? And why whiteboard have been put in agile one?
Mark,
Thanks for stopping by. Agile is a software development methodology, and googling it around will provide a lot of details. Agile coaches use a lot of whiteboards, so,you would find Whiteboard there. Hope it helps,
