About this listen
Agile Protocol: The Transformation Ultimatum is a thrilling satirical adventure that doubles as a covert guide to Agile principles
Fake Agile. You’ve seen it. You’ve survived it. Now it’s time to burn it down—or at least laugh while it implodes.
- Corporate cosplay masquerading as Agile
- An AI tool predicting executive meltdowns
- An epic rage-quit via helicopter
Yes—these things happened. Well… in the story, at least.
It’s exactly this absurd-yet-familiar world that author Scott M. Graffius captured in this book. It’s where satire meets Agile, and nobody’s safe!
📕 What’s in the Book? (Besides a Glorious Fever Dream of Value Delivery)
Agile Protocol is a short satirical action-adventure-drama-comedy-thriller that follows an elite crew as they intervene in a tech company on the brink of implosion. Along the way:
- There’s a weaponized roadmap
- KanbanChatterbox, an AI-powered talking kanban board with a personality disorder, delivers insults
- DenialFest 3000, an executive offsite, spirals out of control
Beneath the chaos lies a stealthy Agile education.
The story tackles:
- The dangers of “fake Agile” and cargo cult transformations
- What Agile values and principles look like in practice
- How being bold and practicing servant leadership can rescue a team—and an enterprise
🎭 Why Satire?
The biggest threat to Agile is cosplay. It’s when companies slap on Agile labels without living Agile values.
You’ve seen it:
- 90-minute standups with 50-slide decks
- People shouting “We’re Agile now!” as an excuse to ditch planning, documentation, and accountability
- Teams trapped in “Agile theater”—all ceremony, zero outcomes
Graffius wrote this book because sometimes, the best way to confront a complex dysfunction is by laughing at it.
💎 Why It Matters
We need conversations about what works, what doesn’t, and how to spot the difference.
Packed with sabotage, sarcasm, and corporate cults, this book delivers nonstop, hilarious lessons on Agile. It’s perfect for anyone who’s ever screamed into a backlog and lived to iterate another day.
If Agile Protocol gets you thinking or laughing, then it’s done its job.
