I have recently read about a Post-Agile Manifesto by Jason Gorman.  Jason said that Post-Agilism is simply doing what works for you. And he explain that in this ideas:

• If it Works, do it!
• If it Works, do it! It woks
• If it seems to Work,do it! It probably woks
• If it seems to Work, do it! It probably woks (and might work again)

Really it is not a manifesto, there aren’t a group or association investigating and promoting that. So if it isn’t a manifesto… What it is? It’s a phenomenon around the world where people who have worked with different agile methodologies and have decided to move on. 

Investigating a bit more about this topic I found a Post-Agilism FAQ at Jonathan Kohl’s blog which said:

Post-Agilism is:

1. a growing movement of former Agilists who have moved beyond Agile methods, using a wide variety of software development tools and methodologies in their work.
2. an emerging era. Now that the Agile movement has moved to the mainstream, what’s next?

Some people think that the post-agilism is  a fallacy, and that the people who consider part of this group are anti-agilist and “process mash up”. In this same article Kohl explain why they consider that this accusations are false.

Personally, I use Scrum and consider that the failure of agile methodologies are because people try to change and mix methodologies to adapt it to their necessities.

What do you think?
