Now I wonder how these 'tribes' (or communities or subfields of interests - I wonder what is the best name) develop over the years. How did they grow or mutated? Which are the new tribes that make up the Agile world?. Who are the new referents of these tribes? Will you help me create this map?
How do I define what a tribe is? Let's list some items that define a tribe:
- They share the same values and principles (which should enter the big Agile umbrella)
- They work with a certain methodology or method
- They have some referents
- They get together in one of more congresses (this could be a consequence of the previous)
- Reason to be (values/principles they share, objectives)
- History
- Referents
- Present/Future?
- Kanbaners
- Software Craftsmen
- Lean-startupers
- Scrumers
- XPs
I will focus on the first 3 groups, as the last 2 exist since the beggining of Agile.
I'd love to receive suggestions/corrections, etc.
