Software Engineering Excellence in Practice

In this episode of the Comparative Agility Podcast, Dee Rhoda sits down with Mooly Beeri to challenge one of the most common assumptions in modern software development: that Agile naturally leads to better outcomes. Drawing on decades of experience leading software transformations in global organizations, Mooly explains why many teams mistake iteration for improvement. They hold retrospectives, participate in planning events, and follow Agile frameworks, yet continue to deliver software using the same practices, the same processes, and often the same problems. If you've ever wondered whether your teams are truly improving or simply moving faster, this episode offers a practical and refreshingly candid perspective on engineering excellence, software quality, and what it really takes to build better software.
