Long synopsis (optional):	Agile has become extremely popular during the last years. It has also scaled and is not only used in software industries nowadays. The so called VUCA world with its ever-growing complexity as well as the digitization and digital transformation made Agile somehow a “Must have” hype. And that´s good, because using agile methods makes work itself and its outcomes better with more happiness – as long as you have understood the basic ideas behind it. But we need to be careful, as those principles and values get more and more lost – even in software industries! What happens if you ask people if they have ever read the Agile Manifesto with its twelve principles behind? And have you ever asked a team, doing some kind of agile stuff, what those principles mean to them and how they can apply them to their daily work? As very frequently the answers are “No”, I created an exercise for teams to challenge the Agile Manifesto and its principles as an ongoing process for retrospectives or as a part of the team or project kick-off. This talk will introduce you to this exercise and the experiences made with it. In Agile we all strive for having a better understanding of what we are doing – so why not also taking care of understanding Agile itself just to get out the most possible benefit and saying goodbye to the Agile Theatre?
