A couple of days ago Gojko Adjic made an awesome comment about Agile. He says, Before complaining that Agile/Scrum/whatever is dead, consider instead that it's become a norm. It's just in the background. It's no longer innovative, exciting, worthy of keynote talks or passionate meetups. The revolution happened, succeeded and passed. Now this was in response to the posts/articles that he was seeing with captions like “agile is dead”.

Introduction Reverse planning involves a mature organization starting with the project’s end date state and working backward in time. PMs begin by identifying the last task, the next to last task, and so on. They continue until they reach the task that begins the project. It answers the question – Where do we eventually want to be? Bottom line: you want to focus on what you want to achieve, then use that to build a last-to-first plan of action.
