Dœs agile academia makes sense? If yes, how to make it happen?

Summary

Agile is a software development methodology for teams focused on fast iterations and delivering values-products to end-users or clients.

Agile is less about planning every step but more about delivering a working product (Minimal Working Product) and iteratively adding new features to it. The agile approach is also focused on constant feedback and adjusting plus the transparency of the process?

Dœs this approach or elements of it should be implemented more in academia/scientific lab environment? If yes, how this approach could be implemented and translated? What may be the obstacles and impediments?

Unconference type

For example:

• Casual conversation
