To bring strategy back into your security, turn to chess

In a game of chess, skilled players need to think in two ways at once. Tactically, they need to be able to respond to the immediate situation on the board, countering threats and finding ways of putting pressure on their opponent. Strategically, they need to see into the future and understand how their moves might open up vulnerabilities that their opponent can exploit later down the line, and make sure they have a plan in place to respond.

These fast bursts are typically focused on ensuring something of value (functioning code) gets done in a short amount of time, allowing for new features and functionality to be available in the product on a regular basis. As opposed to the traditional, slower forms of software development, with releases methodically planned and executed over many months or even years, Agile keeps the focus on speed, user feedback, and iterative refinement.
