"Back in the 70's, we did something just like Agile."
Yep. And during that same time, I did something just like college, only without the degree, or the freedom of choice, or the drinking, or the sex, or the cold and snow. (High School.)
There are tons of similar things, activities, and ideas in life. But "did something just like" always feels like defensive self-certification. It also belittles the cohesiveness of the topic, or the difficulty in achieving or obtaining the thing, activity, or idea.
So, relax: Not everyone can be an expert on everything. What are you exceptionally talented at? Let's talk about that. I promise I'll try very hard not to say "Oh, yeah! I did something just like that last week!"
