Stop Chasing Agile

By Jeremy Berriault

In a world obsessed with Agile project management frameworks and certifications, Stop Chasing Agile cuts through the noise to reveal a simple truth: agility isn't something you install; it's how you behave. If your organization is stuck in endless ceremonies, dashboards, and transformation fatigue without real results, this book shows you why. With a sharp, honest voice, it challenges the industry's biggest myths and exposes how process has become a substitute for progress. More importantly, it offers a clear path back to what actually works.
Grounded in real-world experience and decades of research on leadership, systems, and human behavior, this book shifts the focus from process to people, where real change happens. You'll learn how to improve decision making, create clarity in chaos, and build teams that adapt without burning out. This isn't another how-to Agile guide or framework manual. It's a practical lens for seeing what's getting in your way and fixing it. If you're ready to stop performing agility and start delivering real results, Stop Chasing Agile will change how you lead, think, and work.
Key Features: Cuts through framework performance by exposing common anti-patterns like ceremony overload, dashboard obsession, and framework worship, and shows how to move beyond them Provides a behavior-first approach to real change, focusing on how people make decisions, handle pressure, and work together rather than which process they follow Designed for real-world constraints, addressing politics, legacy systems, compliance, and organizational resistance, not idealized scenarios Improves decision quality and speed, helping teams reduce priority chaos, eliminate rework, and focus on what actually delivers value Balances performance with sustainability, showing how to achieve better outcomes without burnout by prioritizing clarity, safety, and realistic pace
