The headline makes sense to me, but:

> It is no surprise that agile processes have been proven to be so successful and useful: they emphasise collective learning.

What? Every place I’ve seen “agile” practices ended up far overemphasizing short term thinking over any sort of respect for learning and the collective knowledge of the employees of the company. I’m not saying the two are necessarily at odds, but the sort of management that is attracted to agile is also the sort of management that probably doesn’t give two licks about whether you’re learning anything deep, so long as you get the story points closed.

I agree, Agile is often used as an excuse to not plan anything - which is obviously unprofessional, completely wrong and leads to disaster. I think this was realised by the Agile movement as well, and they have come up with various techniques to also keep track of the long-term aspects e.g. Impact Mapping, User Story Mapping, maybe Event Storming.
