The Iron Triangle ruled in the age of control—scope, schedule, cost. Then came agile, and we replaced it with a triangle focused on value, quality and adaptability. But now, with AI transforming how we work, we may need a new model entirely.
Plans change. And when they do, most teams grip tighter. But what happens when we stop chasing stability and start leading for adaptability? Let's reflect on agility—not as a framework, but as a way of thinking and working when the unexpected shows up.
