Beginnings of "agile"

[Jason Nutt]

"Wortham, who spent 10 years in the Marines, said he started practicing agile even before he knew there was a name for it. To him, it was just called “leading Marines.” But, to Wortham, putting a name on something is a big first step to tackling it."~

I find that fascinating as a former Marine that he felt like he had already been practicing this methodology when "leading his Marines" but it was empowered when given a name.
