This is spot on! A close #9... although it's related to most of these, was allowing consultants to sell Agile in terms of Agile vs Waterfall. As in good vs evil, where Agile always has to win in every situation. It created a world where every round Agile peg was crammed into every square hole and ultimately contributed to most of the current Agile industry anti-patterns.
I'm part of a team of 15 Agilists. In the next CoP, I'll suggest identifying and making the Agile mistakes in our company visible, including the middle management in the conversation.
How can our community help evolve the Agile Manifesto?
For example, when I have a non-homogeneous group, I tend to change "Working Software vs. Comprehensive Documentation" to "Valuable Outcome vs. Comprehensive Documentation." Of course, explaining the reason. But it is a workaround.
Who can be the leader of the change movement? During the last 15 years, I have seen people diverge so much when talking about Agile, and sometimes, I feel "non-belonging." Of course, I tend to listen to "others" and stay with people, creating more Agile connections. Why? Because I want to spend less time arguing and debating and more time on evolution.
Thx, Bob; you triggered me again.....as usual! LOL

Geez, Bob! You pretty much stole all my points from a talk I gave called, "Back the Days of Future Passed - How to Save Agile From Ourselves"! 😂
Amazing analysis, thanks Bob !!,
I believe we can take them one by one and starting working for each , it will be a long journey but this is our life routine. Starting long journeys.
