Ricardo Fernandes reflects on his experience walking the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route and draws parallels to Agile principles and values. He discusses starting the journey alone but not finishing alone, adapting one's pace over time, and how sharing vulnerability with friends who support each other makes enduring the challenges more enjoyable. Ricardo suggests the pilgrimage mirrors Agile in emphasizing reflection, adaptation, and teamwork over individual achievement.

1. Ricardo Fernandes
Can I use Agile to do the “Caminho de
Santiago”?

2. Why? What was my purpose?

3. What I did so far …

4. But what I needed to do before doing…

5. How it went? What I learned ?…

6. A turtle knows better the patch than a hare

7. The pain is real, but the suffer is an option

8. Go forward , not stop... but reflect at the end of each phase

9. Only brings what you really needs on the way!

10. Walking on the camino is the same to watch to a mirror.

11. We need to filter the noise on the daily world.

12. There isn’t a right answer and decision

13. The purpose and the goal were´t the same on the beginning (family), but when we
align that, we start enjoying the way...

14. We trust on each other... By sharing our vulnerability and feelings

15. If there is someone who takes more weight (the hero), he will get tired and will be
“the burden” to the group.

16. We have different pace over the time .

17. Where is the Agile Mindset?

18. Agile Values

19. Agile Values

20. Agile Values

21. Agile Principles

22. Next steps

23. Making off ….

24. Alone
You can start alone but you
never finish alone

25. Friends
Sense of achievement… Creates a
feeling of happiness

26. Friends
Inspect and
adapt

27. Family

28. Many thanks
